14TH STAR WAYFINDER PILS
On tap at Ambulance, soft-tongued Czech-styled golden pilsner lets sweet corn sugaring penetrate delicate herbal lemon musk in mildly creamed nitro-like setting. A bit tame taste-wise, but crisply clean easygoer’s one of the most sessionable pils around.

GREAT DIVIDE PEANUT BUTTER YETI IMPERIAL STOUT

TWO ROADS IRISH EXIT – NITRO
On tap at Pompton Craft House, softly creamed dry Irish stout captured on nitro buttresses its nutted black coffee stead with dark chocolate malting and blackened hop char, gaining bitterer Blackstrap molasses treacle, caramelized espresso milking and distant dried black cherry snip. Smooth.

PHASE THREE NIU TOASTED COCONUT PORTER
Underutilized toasted coconut sweetness depleted by fudged toffee, black coffee and black licorice serenade contrasting molasses-tarred nut char over earthen peat dewiness.

GOOD NATURE PUMPKIN BROWN ALE

FIRESTONE WALKER GOLD RIDER (2022)
On tap at Taphouse 15, Sidecar cocktail-inspired strong ale (circa 2022) utilizes cognac-barreled orange bitters to engage fresh-squeezed lemon juicing and tannic white grape esters. Buttery oaken vanilla caramelization underscores the popular sour mix (while wispy red cherry, candied apple, golden raisin and spiced orange licks flutter).
