Nectar IPA from Humboldt Brewing

So this is a great west coast IPA out of California. Nectar IPA from Humboldt Brewing ABV 6.7% with IBU of 60. It has a nice hoppy nose and a dark amber color. Very light and refreshing with maybe a hint of grapefruit but little to no after taste. I really want to try one of their other beers too. They have a Hemp Ale I almost picked up instead of this but wasn't in the mood for a brown. Oh well there is always next time. Check out their website at http://www.humboldtbrewingco.com/

Haunted Bell's Beer Box?

What do you think? Haunted or not haunted?

Check out what I won from New Belgium

Back in January I got an email from a guy at New Belgium Brewery telling me I had won something.  I forgot about it but when I got home today this sweet package was waiting on me. I won two really cool beer glasses and lucky me I had some Fat Tire in the fridge to test them out with. Thanks New Belgium!

Happy Craft Beer Week

It is Craft Beer Week and I am wondering if there is a greeting card for this occasion yet. Lots of events going on the week. Did anyone go to the beer fests in Huntsville or Chattanooga this past weekend? I am curious how they went. We were in Chattanooga this weekend but didn't make it downtown early enough because we got stuck doing Mother's Day crap. I am more of a night drinker anyways. Day beer just makes me sleepy.

So what are we drinking? Picked up a six pack of Firewater IPA cans. I'm a sucker for cans. Firewater IPA (ABV 6.0%) is from Catawba Brewing co. They are a North Carolina based brewer. It was good not great. Would be willing to try some of there other beers sometime maybe its better on draft.

Alabama Beer

Figured we would start off with two of our favorite Alabama beers. Naked Pig Pale Ale is from Back Forty Beer Co out of Gadsden, Alabama.  ABV is 6% and IBU 43. Back Forty is a fairly new company like most of the breweries in the state but now that alcohol laws are starting to loosen we are finally able to get some fun local beers. You can check out their story and other beers on their site www.backfortybeer.com.

 Check out the cute little pig logo they created. He just looks so damn happy.

The second beer we wanted to share with you is from north Alabama, Monkeynaut IPA from Straight to Ale.  ABV is 7.25% and IBU 70. Straight to Ale is based out of Huntsville, AL which is also known as "The Rocket City" because of the US Space and Rocket Center that is located there and the work they have done with the space program and thus the space themed name. Monkeynaut is a citrus floral hoppy beer. Check out the sweet can. You can visit http://www.straighttoale.com/ for more info on this Alabama brewer.

New Beer Blog!

Hello and welcome to our new blog! My husband and I are beer lovers from Birmingham, AL. We decided to start this new blog because we post a lot of beer crap on our other blog, VegetarianSouth, and decided all the beer photos need a proper home. We aren't beer experts but hope to introduce people to new beers and breweries. We are also outdoorsy. We like to hike and kayak. We camp and fish a little too on the side.
