Craft deliciousness<br />
The weather is finally growing<br />
warmer and people are starting<br />
to shed their thick coats for<br />
more spring-friendly attire. Just<br />
like with what we wear, what we<br />
drink changes from season to<br />
season, and craft beer is no exception.<br />
Hudson Valley Brewery -<br />
Hylozoa<br />
(Experience: a bright sunny<br />
spring day)<br />
This farmhouse ale by Hudson<br />
Valley Brewery is fermented with<br />
wild microbes collected from<br />
raw honey, giving it a one-of-akind<br />
funky, grassy lemon tartness.<br />
Aging in oak wine barrels<br />
for eight months gives this brew<br />
an extra bit of complexity. (instagram:<br />

Other Half Brewing - Mmm..<br />
Fruit Plum<br />
(Experience: an outdoor brunch)<br />
This entry into Other Half’s series<br />
of Berliner Weisse beers<br />
features plums in a delicate,<br />
wine like flavor profile. A touch<br />
of wheat and the tart saltiness<br />
inherent to the style provide a<br />
nicely balanced, refreshing drink<br />
perfect for a warm day. (instagram:<br />

Commonwealth Brewing<br />
Company - So Pitted<br />
(Experience: an early summer<br />
BBQ)<br />
The smokiness of this Commonwealth<br />
brew might play second<br />
fiddle to the more intense sweettart<br />
peach flavor, but is just present<br />
enough to add a savory twist<br />
that will make it a great partner<br />
to anything off the grill. (instagram:<br />

Hudson Valley Brewery -<br />
Mirrorshield<br />
(Experience: a cool evening<br />
breeze)<br />
This unique style of IPA combines<br />
lychee, chamomile and<br />
lavender to deliver a simultaneous<br />
tropical and soothing experience.<br />
Mosaic hops accentuate<br />
this combination with tropical<br />
and herbal flavors. (instagram:<br />

Other Half Brewing -<br />
El Camino Misfires<br />
(Experience: an evening coffee)<br />
Tree House Brewing Co. -<br />
Hurricane<br />
(Experience: a lazy afternoon)<br />
Hurricane brings a melange of<br />
citrus flavors to the palate right<br />
from the get-go. Oranges, stone<br />
fruits and fresh cut grass come<br />
together for a smooth and peppy<br />
brew. An earthy bitterness<br />
sneaks in on the finish, leaving<br />
you ready for your next sip. (instagram:<br />

This ruby-colored brew strangely<br />
smells like a cup of coffee, but<br />
that’s just the beginning. One sip<br />
presents a dessert like twist on<br />
a sour beer, pulling you through<br />
layers of fresh raspberries, roasted<br />
coffee and smooth vanilla. It’s<br />
a pastry in a glass! (instagram:<br />
