I've long been a fan of Weyerbacher's QUAD, one of the best examples of the Belgian Quadruppel style coming from these United States. Blasphemy takes QUAD and ages it oak barrels, making it a super-malty, super-sweet, super-boozy offering. read more

Found in: Culture, ReviewsRogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale
I’ve long believed that bacon makes everything better, and I’ve tested that theory with everything from whiskey to asparagus to gourmet peanut butter to yes, maple doughnuts—from Decatur’s Revolution, right down the street. Rogue takes the latter a step further with their Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale. Bacon + beer. What’s not to love? Well, it’s a strange first sip, and several of our tasters made faces that their mamas might threaten them not to make in case they stayed that way.

“Bottles and cans, just clap your hands.” Beck wasn’t singing about Chaka, the new collaboration between Oskar Blues and Sun King breweries, but what’s inside this resealable bottle/can hybrid is clearly where it’s at. The 8 percent ABV Belgian-style ale is a collaboration between the Colorado-based Oskar Blues brewmaster Dave Chichura and his longtime friends in Dave Colt and Clay Robinson who founded Indianapolis’ Sun King. Using Shagbark Hickory syrup from Indiana and grains from Colorado, we hope this will help heal the longtime bitterness between the two states if indeed any such bitterness has ever existed.
