813. Triton Brewing – Wit or Wit-Out You

I’ve been having a lot of problems with WordPress, but finally got them fixed tonight. So I hope to get back to more regular reviews. It was a super hot day today, about 95 degrees, and so I was looking for a lighter, more refreshing beer.  This beer was given to me a couple of months ago by my friend Kevin who lived in Indianapolis. He’s been a big fan of Triton since they started and brought me several of their beers....

804. Flat 12 Bierwerks – Walkabout Pale Ale

We had a relatively low key weekend, so I thought I’d try to do a couple reviews today. This is one of the beers my friend Kevin brought from Indianapolis. I don’t know much about their brewery, but already had their Half Cycle IPA, which was overly bitter. So, I’m hoping this one is a little better. Location: Poured into a curved pint glass at my home in Bloomington, IL Numbers: 5.3% ABV, 40 IBUs, ~140 Calories...

801. Fountain Square Brewery – Soul Ride India Pale Ale

It’s been a pretty relaxing Saturday. The only thing we had to do today was go to the neighbors daughter’s birthday party. So when I got home, after I took care of a few things, I decided to sit down and review a couple of beers. My buddy Kevin Marks brought this in a bunch of beers for me from Indianapolis a couple of months ago, so I’ve been trying to make my way through them. The label says, “This American...

797. Sun King Brewing – Wee Mac Scottish-Style Ale

I’m set on doing a few reviews today, so now that I’ve had dinner and helped put away Christmas decorations it’s time for a beer. This is one of the beers my sister brought me from her trip to Indianapolis. Admittedly, I’ve already had the other three in the four pack and held onto this one to do this review. The can says, “Crafted to be smooth and malty, Wee Mac has a rich hazelnut character with toffee...

795. Triton Brewing – Rail Splitter IPA

It was my first day back at the office after the four day holiday weekend, and we had a bad wind and ice storm. Oh, and it delivered about 3″ of rain. There were a lot of power outages, leaks, and trees down everywhere. Needless to say, I’d been craving a beer to relax for the evening. You might remember my friend Kevin brought several beers from Indianapolis a month or so ago. He’s a big fan of this brewery, and...

789. Flat 12 Bierwerks – Half Cycle IPA

It’s been a busy weekend with my son’s birthday. On Friday, my son and five friends stayed up until about 2 a.m., and then Satuday night we had a family party. Now that everything has calmed down, I decided to break into some of the craft beers my friend Kevin brought me from Indianapolis. I already reviewed the growlers of Triton O’Rye-n Galaxy and Nutty Professor Peanut Butter Brown Ale he brought, so I thought...

786. Triton Brewing – Nutty Professor Peanut Butter Brown Ale

It’s been pretty busy at work, and I’ve been looking forward to breaking this one open. So, when I got home and had dinner, I was ready for it. This is another beer from my friend Kevin from Indianapolis. Before his visit last week, he called and gave me a choice of several beers that were on tap.  He suggested their French toast saison (which sounds awesome), but ever since I brewed a peanut butter cup stout a few years...

353. Flossmoor Station – Rail Splitter IPA

I’m at my homebrew club meeting tonight and decided to buy a drink before the meeting.  I was looking for something I haven’t had before, and the Rail Splitter IPA caught my eye.  I had no idea who made it, and another guy at the meeting and I sat there with our phones trying to figure it out (after we both ordered one).  Initially, I thought it was from Triton Brewing in Indianapolis, since theirs was the only Rail...
