January is rolling right along, and many of us are fighting the good fight against seasonal affective disorder. I’m not a licensed physician, but I find that the best tool for self-medication is a big, warming (possible barrel-aged) beer. Apparently the PorchDrinkers agree with me, because they enjoyed a few of those this week. Some think that brighter, fruitier libations are a better panacea for the season, but I believe that those people are quacks. This is What We’re Drinking.
“In just under two weeks Utah has simultaneously joined the haze craze and released two of its best IPAs. Keep them coming! Cheers!” – Chris & Sylvia Hollands
“Sweet mercy, I have already found a best beer of 2017. The finest fruited gose I have ever had, echoing the tart salty refreshing flavors of mexican popsicles using watermelon, prickly pear, and passionfruit.” – Scott Johnson
“Already in the running for best beer of 2017! Swirling this bottle is a must the dregs held an incredible blackberry aroma. Tart but not overly acidic with an intense dryness that clears the pallet quickly. Enjoy this with creamy cheeses, prime rib, ribeye, or simple pasta and oil.” – Jose Minaya
“Enjoying this Belgian-style IPA out of a wine glass because I break a lot of beer glasses and I’m not allowed to buy more… This Idaho beer has some serious Ida-tude!” – Dan Bortz
“Celebrating my wife’s (garbled)th birthday with homemade Boston cream pie and this gem. Most dominant flavors are cinnamon and the usual milk stout flavors. Paired very nicely. #twodessertsmakearight” – Johnathan Pylant
“I absolutely LOVE Burial’s can designs. This IPA was one of only a few hazy IPAs that I’ve tried. It was fantastic, but oddly filling. As delicious as it was, I think I would have been just as happy staring at this marvel all night.” – Johnathan Pylant
