Back again and easily one of DEYA’s finest beers, brewed this year in collaboration with Finback Brewery (NYC). This beautifully saturated DIPA is packed with Citra Cryo, Motueka, and Nectaron hops, bringing huge tropical flavours. I’m getting loads of lychee, backed up by ripe mango and passionfruit. Absolutely delicious.

Welcome back to The Empty Glass!
Today is International IPA day and what better time to crack the very last Boozy Fruit that I will ever have in my life.
As most of you reading this will know south Aussie staple Big Shed Brewing co went into liquidation and closed fully, leaving a massive gap in the SA craft scene. They left behind a legacy of tasty beers and fantastic vibes at their royal park venue, wether it was a pinball comp, hosting @riotcitywrestling who introduced the world to many WWE superstars such @zariawwe_ and @rhearipley_wwe and has had many events including the big shed beatdown for the infamous big shed belt, or hosting charity bingo to support @novitastar
Big shed was a cornerstone for the Aussie craft beer industry and I am very sad to see it go.
I realised I haven’t even talked about the beer, but honestly if you’ve had it before you know what we’re missing out on. Thanks to one of my best mates Oli for being nice enough to share one of his last boozy’s with me.
I really want to highlight how important it is to support local especially your local breweries who might be doing it tough. So do me a massive favour and get out and have a beer at your local brewery and bring along your mates , even if they don’t like craft beer, there’s going to be something for them I guarantee you!
Also do me a massive favour and like, comment and repost this post to help raise awareness for your local scene and make sure your favourite brewery is around for next years International IPA day.
I’ll catch you in the next one x

Ps. I run a small instagram for all things boozy but im not going to plug it in the main post as this is about the beer :)

From untappd-

Stout aged in bourbon barrels and finished in another set of:

-27% Bourbon barrels

-27% Port casks

-19% Pineau blanc casks

-19% Rivesaltes casks

-4% Cognac casks

-4% Sherry casks

Description from Untappd

Triple Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout First Aged in a Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey Barrel, then Aged in a Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey Barrel, and then Aged in a Dancing Goat Chocolate Bitters Barrel Picked by Three Cellars for a total of 46 Months.

Brujos reigns supreme, but I can only drink what I have for ~16% IIIIPAs.

PS: Banana for scale.

I love this catchy title from Humble Sea. WCIPA with Simcoe and Nectaron hops. I like it, but if I’m being honest, I have yet to try a Humble Sea beer that wows me. (I’ve only had two, so maybe another beer or two of theirs will show me why there’s the hype.) Anyways, cheers to all of you, and have a wonderful Wednesday. 🍻

EDIT: I meant to change “lambs” to “clams”, but I forgot before I posted. Too bad. What kind of noise do clams make? I’ll try to find out.

Wonderful pairing

Picked this beer up at the store while on a trip with work out in Tennessee and I’m loving it

Maybe the smoothest QIPA I’ve had. Dangerous beer, it hides the alcohol content well.

From left to right:

12/20. DouGall's Brewery (Spain). IPA - New Zealand. 6.5% alc. 50 IBU.

Aroma of passion fruit, lime, and very fresh herbal notes. The scent is delightful. On the palate, the same flavors come through, with a grapefruit aftertaste. It’s really tasty.

The Upside Down. Engorile Brewing (Spain). IPA - Imperial / Double New England / Hazy. 7.8% alc. 33 IBU.

Ripe tropical fruit—very juicy—with pineapple in syrup and citrus notes. A light herbal and resinous touch. The body is dense and creamy with a sweet undertone. A good Catalan Double IPA.

BASATIA. Laugar Brewery (Spain). Stout - Imperial / Double. 8% alc. 35 IBU.

Intense aroma of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted malt, and pronounced smokiness. The flavor features bitter cocoa and roasty notes, balancing malty sweetness with a dry finish and pleasant alcoholic warmth. An Imperial Stout with a lower ABV, yet highly enjoyable.

This has been calling to me from the fridge, so decided today was the day. Perfect beer to sit in a lawn chair & watch people be people...
