Winter Ale @fremontbrewing Seattle, Washington (IMPERIAL WINTER ALE) ABV: 8.0%  IBU: 47  RATING: ️️️️ ME: Well balanced winter ale. Perfect for this time of year. THEM: This is a tasty Winter Ale to snuggle up to, released for the winter months when snow blankets the terrain of the mind and the body craves warmth and, let’s be honest, it’s dark and wet most of the time so your beer better be damn good. Winter Ale is dark like the weather with roast chocolate and warm malt flavors balanced by noble hop aroma and subtle hoppy spice. Warm up to it. @fremontbrewing #imperialwinterale #winterale #beershare

Stress Dissolver Watermelon @commonspacela Hawthorne, California (Sour - Fruited Ale) ABV: 5.0%  IBU: N/A  RATING: ️️ ME: If you like sour beer, you might want to give this one a go.  I’m not into it at all. THEM: Common Space Stress Dissolver Watermelon Sour Beer is quite possibly the worst sour I have ever had.
It was $14 at the liquor store for 4-16oz cans. It is not tart at all and tastes very herbal, not like watermelon at all.
I really like sours but this one was gross. (review on reddit) @commonspacela #stressdissolver #beershare

Beer Share from ‘The Spot’ Optical Haze @smogcitybeer Torrance, California (New England Hazy IPA) ABV: 6.7%  IBU: N/A  RATING: ️️️️ ME: It’s so cool that these breweries do these special releases. It’s like collecting baseball cardsTHEM:  RELEASE DAYE: Release: 3/2025 SMOG DAYS: HAZE CRAZE

Beer Share from ‘The Spot’ El Rey @tarantulahillbrewingco Thousand Oaks, California (Mexican Lager) ABV: 5.0%  IBU: N/A  RATING: ️️️️ ME: Wasn’t sure at first but I’m becoming a big fan of @tarantulahillbrewingco. They are putting out some quality products. With the Mezcal kicker.  THEM: Crisp, clean and crushable describes this craft brewed Mexican lager. A malt bill containing flaked corn and vienna malt creates the body and aroma of a classic Mexican Lager, while the slight addition of hops and Mexican lager yeast add a natural perceived lime aroma. This beer is truly El rey de la colina (The king of the hill) @tarantulahillbrewingco #elreymexicanlager #beershare #mexicanlager #mezcalkicker

Hop Ottin’ IPA @andersonvalleybrewing Boonville, California (American IPA) ABV: 7.0%  IBU: 80  ME: ️️ Paired perfectly with Mama’s Meatloaf with Pickled Onions Sandwich with Homemade Potato Chips.   THEM:      Our Hop Ottin’ IPA is brewed and dry-hopped with copious amounts of Columbus and Cascade. This beer is a showcase of the bright citrusy aromas, bold grapefruit and pine-like flavors, and resiny bitterness that hop heads crave. With a brilliant, deep amber color and solid malt backbone, hints of citron, roses, and bergamot peak with a dry, herbal finish in this well-balanced interpretation of a West Coast IPA. @andersonvalleybrewing @thenewdealrestaurant hopottinipa #beershare

THEM: When tomorrow turns today, all we have is now. Dawn Again. No better time for a cold, reliable hazy pale with citrus-forward aromatics, a pillow-soft mouthfeel, and well-balanced hop flavoring with Cashmere, Sabro, and Chinook. Complexity without overthinking it. @elysianbrewing #dawnagain #dawnagainipa #beershare

Couple weeks ago I won a sourdough bread starter at a party. Since then, Leslie and I have been obsessed with making a loaf.  We have watched a couple  hundred videos, endless conversations and spent every extra minute figuring it out.  I got to be honest, I am so proud of our first couple loafs. We are getting better. Thank you for the starter and support @sadams88 #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughbread #hangingwithles

Con Amor is an Amber Lager inspired by the Mexican Lagers we love. The delicately roasted caramel malts provide a smooth body, perfectly balanced by Bavarian hops. Lagered below 42 degrees for that premium finish that will have you falling in love at first sip. @commonspacela #conamor #mexicanlager #mexicanamberlager #beershare

Beer Share from ‘The Spot’ Dokkaebi Double IPA @dokkaebier Oakland, California (Double Imperial IPA) ABV: 8.5%  IBU: 76  ME: ️️️Dank and dry with a bitter aftertaste. Not my favorite. I dig the can and presentation.  THEM: There is an art behind creating something special, which our Dokkaebis have mastered, to brew a full flavored, double dry hopped DPA. And you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the super smooth taste.

Through carefully selected hops that add a burst of fruitiness, this new wave DIPA has just enough flaked grains to level out the mouthfeel, but not so much that you don’t know you’re drinking a double. @dokkaebier #dokkaebieripa #beershare

Our first Smog Days of 2021! This Hazy IPA jumps out of the glass with a big punch of mango and follows with a blend of tropical aromas reminiscent of pineapple-orange juice. A medium body and slight sweetness on the finish makes this juice bomb super drinkable. Cheers to 2021!

Part of Smog Days IPA Series that alternates between West Coast and Hazy IPA.  @smogcitybeer #snowdonut #beershare #enjoysyourself
