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 />

@treehousebrewco)<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 />
