Hi-Wire Brewing - South Slope Specialty Brewery Bed of Nails

What the brewers say

“An ode to a traditional English brown. Delicate body, dry finish, flavors of toffee, dark fruit.”

What our panel thought

“A tarry licorice aroma with a citrus swirled in. Decadent dark-chocolate cake batter in the flavor, balanced by an equal helping of citrus hops. Desserty molasses with orange peel expressed over the top.”

What our editors thought

“Bready malt aroma with a hint of baking spice and orange zest. Grippy American-hop citrus and pine push forward in the sip, toned down from typical pale-ale territory, but nicely structuring the malt-forward flavor.”

How We Review

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Black Lung Brewing Company Left Fork Kentucky Common Ale

“Opens with the aroma of a freshly cracked can of cola (with a hint of clove) in the fresh, damp undergrowth of a deep forest. A beautiful ride that includes a piney spritz and warmed graham cracker from the heat of a recently toasted marshmallow. Finishes dry and bitter.”

Upslope Brewing Company - Flatiron Park Oatmeal Stout

“Malt aroma medium-strong, roasted with some chocolate, coffee. Chocolate and dark-roasted malt balance nicely in the flavor. A pleasant nutty, toffee malt character mid-palate. Firm bitterness balanced by medium body, a light sweetness. Some lingering astringency in the dry mineral finish.”

Hi-Wire Brewing - South Slope Specialty Brewery 10W-40 Bourbon Barrel-Aged

“Aroma of coconut, licorice, coffee, light caramel. Dark chocolate, coffee notes lead the sip followed by a pleasant lingering bitterness. Subsequent sips give the impression of a Dark Chocolate Almond Joy. Firm bitterness balances the sweetness.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

Sierra Nevada Cosmic Little Thing Hazy Double IPA

For the latest in the Hazy IPA series, ride Sierra Nevada’s interstellar wave of tropical flavor in this Cosmic Little Thing, a hazy nebula glowing with Comet, Strata, and Helios hops for notes of citrus, berries, and lychee. Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

Firestone Walker Cosmic Crusher Juicy Imperial IPA

Out-of-this-world flavor that packs a punch—take a journey with Cosmic Crusher. “Cosmic Crusher is our crazy adventure into the realm of imperial juicy IPAs,” says brewmaster Matt Brynildson. Cosmic Crusher is built around two ultra-tropical hops—Galaxy and Strata. The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character. SKUs available: 12 oz six-pack cans, 19.2 oz single serve, and Mind Haze Variety Pack.
