Let’s talk about these Beers man!
Australian Gold, 5.0 ABV, 32 IBU
Australian-style golden ale
Australian-style golden with a mix of bready flavors as well as notes of banana & apple. Brewed with a single-bittering addition of Pride of Ringwood. This style beer has roots in England but was adapted for the warmer Australian climate.
Black & Wit, 5.0 ABV, 19 IBU
Black Belgian-style witbier
A dark twist on the classic belgian-style witbier. Similar to the original, Black & Wit is brewed with a hefty amount of wheat malt and spiced with orange peel & coriander, however this version was brewed with midnight wheat giving it a black apperance. Black & Wit proves a beer can be both light & dark at the same time.
Daydream, 7.0 ABV 21 IBU
French-style saison
A complex yet highly drinkable take on the saison. Daydream is brewed with honey, orange peel, and peppercorn before being dry-hopped with Mandarina Bavaria. A great beer to allow your mind to wander…
Episodes Pale Ale – Sorachi Ace edition, 5.7 ABV, 55 IBU
Single-hop pale ale
1st Episode of our rotating single-hop pale ale series features Sorachi Ace hop. Originally cultivated in Japan, this hop has wonderful aroma & flavor ranging from lemon to dill to pepper.
Estranged, 9.5 ABV 32 IBU
Belgian Dark Strong
A belgian-style dark strong ale with a complex & layered malt bill and a ruby red color. Expect notes of plum, dates, raisins, cherry and a hint of chocolate. This one may leave you feeling a sense of estrangement from all others things. Or maybe just feeling a little bit “strange”.
Japanese Black IPA, 7.8 ABV 80 IBU
Black IPA with Asian spices
Japanese Black IPA is a unique fusion of American Black IPA and asian culinary influences. A highly-hopped beer brewed with barley, rice, and midnight wheat which gives it a nice black appearance and dry finish, allowing ginger & Szechuan peppercorn to mingle with the hop profile.
Sir Real IPA 8.0 ABV, 83 IBU
This beer is surreal. No sir, it is real. Sir Real. Brewed with a simple grain bill to allow for some serious hop bitterness and aroma. Hops used include Warrior, Azacca, Ariana, and Eureka!
TechWeek.comKansas City brings together a mixture of entrepreneurs, visionaries, and thought leaders for a week long celebration of all things tech. We sat down with CEO Amanda Signorelli to discuss Tech in KC.
Martin City Brewing created a gluten free beer called Yoga Pants! Its very good. Also OneLife Fitness hosted its first ever “Beer Yoga” class. Its a match made in heaven. Check out the rad video we created while attending the class. The merging of beer and an active lifestyle is important to me. I love to work hard and play hard. Yoga has a soft reputation but can be extremely challenging. Beer yoga is self explanatory. I will say that “Beer Yoga” is more laid back and has more of a social component than a traditional session. Be on the lookout for future events like this and enjoy the video.
