This time we grabbed a beer from the 5th oldest continuously operating brewery remaining in the United States, Point Brewery. You only have a few more weeks left to grab this guy, the brewery stops putting it out July 31st!
This is an unfiltered wheat ale that is well balanced using “au naturel” raw and red wheat, then finished with Yakima hops. Its got a pretty weak head but a nice golden color. Its a little light on the wheat beer side, you could definitely put several of them back in one sitting.
For the price its a good deal, plus you get a sweet label with a bunch of implied nudity!

I typically order a good variety of seasonal beers but this one definitely peaked my curiosity being brewed with beet extract and all. I actually sold through the first case in less then a week and didn’t even get to try one making it even more intriguing to me. So since I haven’t written a blog in a while I figured this would be a good pick!
The first thing you notice is the slight pinkish color, not quite as deep as a berry weis, but certainly noticeable. Nothing too crazy on the nose, but I’m also just getting over a cold so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I gave it a good swig, thankfully the beet isn’t over powering. In fact, the beet barley comes through except for a little bit on the finish. I was a little surprised considering Magic Hat’s #9 and H.IPA and others I have had, it makes sense though. Most summer seasonal are light easy drinking beers that you can put quite a few back in one sitting. I would say that is a pretty accurate description of the Wacko, but If you want to try it, stop in!

So today I got a few new beers in however a few I was expecting didn’t make it in this week. But thats OK.
Its apparently the return of Summer Shandy already but you wouldn’t know it from the weather.
New Glarus has a new one, “Black Wheat” that I haven’t tried yet so I couldn’t tell you much about it.
I got “Gordon” by Oskar Blues which I am looking forward to trying. Its a mix of a double IPA and an Imperial red.. and it comes in a can!
I got the last case that my distributor had of Tyranena’s “Dirty Old Man” which is one from their Brewers Gone Wild collection. Its an Imperial Rye Porter aged in rye whiskey barrels.
…and on the uninteresting but convenient page we have re-sealable 16oz aluminum bottles of Miller Lite in 9 packs. Thrilling, I know!
Beer tasting tomorrow! 5-7!!
