LCI/FLN Beers with Jonny.

60 Minute IPA (2021) Paradee

Only craft option here...the joint is actually called “Sweden Valley Inn”, but folks up here don’t spell so gewd). Nice fallback brew, as always.

20 Ans D'Amitié Paradee

Beer is better shared, as Pizo liked to say (and I agree)

Hive Revelry Paradee

Hive Revelry is a barrel-aged Golden Barleywine brewed with Maris Otter malt from upstate NY, Maine Kent Golding hops and wildflower honey, and aged on used Dogfish Head Distilling Co. whiskey barrels. Terrific!

Blue Hen Paradee

4.8% Czech Pilsner brewed with Delaware grown & malted barley. Not a fan, sorry. Ask Dan Suarez to show you how to brew a good Pilsner.

DFH Kölsch Paradee

4.9% Kolsch with a touch of citrus. This is a decent example of the style. Tasty twist with the citrus hops. Notes of ganja help as well!

I Heard You Like USDA-074 Paradee

This 6.4% IPA in the single hop series features a super exclusive variety know as USDA-074. Aromas of mandarin orange & lime peel with tropical fruit and warm stonefruit undertones, slight green grape notes.  Crisp, clean, she keeps her motor clean.

Subconscious Afterparty Paradee

7.3% hazy IPA brewed with Pilsner malt, malted wheat, and naked oats bursting with hoppy goodness from Citra, BRU-1, and Mosaic for all the tropical fruit and citrus vibes. Amazing nose. Lush grapefruit on the palate. Easily the best ale here today.

Dela-We-Are Paradee

Black IPA (?) brewed w/pumpernickel bagels from Surf Bagel blended w/malted rye, black wheat malt, and crystal malt. Spicy citrus hops, caraway seeds, and black pepper. Solid effort.

Cultivated Instincts Paradee

Milk stout brewed with chilis, mole spices, pepitas, almonds, cocoa powder, and cherry puree. OCS members’ brew. Well balanced, nice flavor, cheery kicks in at the end. Delish! Thank you, Ryan, for snagging my cans!

SeaQuench Ale Paradee

This brew just never gets old. Sofa King Raight for so many occasions.

Mango Smoovie Paradee

6.5% fruited tart ale (inspired by the Indian drink, lassi), brewed w/mango, tangerine, yellow cardamom, rose water, and vanilla. I get mango vanilla and sweet holiday spices. This is freakin fabulous!

Beer To Drink Music To Paradee

5.1% salted hazy peach IPA brewed with puréed peaches, tropical hops, & Mayan sun seat salt, DH’d w/Australian Summer & Galaxy hops. A tad dry & bitter, but in a good way. Would likely benefit from more peaches and less dry hopping, but it is what it is.

Sun-Day-Feels Paradee

6.5% ale brewed with Viognier grape juice, peaches, blood oranges, lemon, oranges, and lime. Champagne!

Walking Run Paradee

5.6% ABV hazy, hoppy pale ale brewed from English pale ale malt, wheat malt and flaked oats for a pillowy, soft malt flavor with a rush of citrus and tropical hop aroma & flavor. This is terrific! Easy quaffer. Highly underrated.

Hazy-O! Paradee

7.1% hazy IPA brewed with 4 different oats, then dry hopped. Great (lush) mouthfeel. Nice floral citrus up front, with a subtle hop bite on the finish. Would be a great regular go-to brew.

All Day IPA Paradee

X2 with Angie Eliason this afternoon. Soccer Con 2021!

Brabantiae (2018) Paradee

Thank you, Scott!

A Load of Cobblers Paradee

6% blackberry/raspberry sour. Good stuff!

Beer #18 in last night’s Young Guns Bottle Share. Love me some espresso.

Liquid Amalgam Paradee

5.1% farmhouse IPA...starts with hazy IPA brewed w/Pils malt, wheat, and naked oats, DH’d w/Pacific NW Sabro, then blended w/wild ale aged in French oak for 3 years, adding wood character, complexity, and touch of tartness. Great nose. Fun beer!

My Friend Brecki Paradee

5.8% sour fruited ale, brewed w/wheat, oats, and lactose, then ferm’d w/lime juice, lime peel, passionfruit, and vanilla. Beautifully tart w/tropical passionfruit, sour lime, and just enough vanilla to be refreshing. Interesting AF!

Umeboshi Paradee

5.5% fruited sour brewed w/two-row wheat, flaked rice, plums, ginger, and umeboshi (pickled Japanese plums). Crisp, neat, tasty.

Tepache Paradee

4% sessionable kettle sour brewed w/pineapple, cinnamon, panela sugar. Wowza! Like a pina colada w/a hint of cinnamon. Hoping to get caught in the rain. Friggin lovely!

I Heard You Like Strata Paradee

Holy hell, this is terrific! Deserves to be rated MUCH higher. DFH regulars don’t appreciate a good NEIPA??

Salacious IPA Paradee

Not bad at all, but a bit of a disappointment after Strata.

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Paradee

WHOOP, here it is! Big & boozy, yet smoove AF. Glad I was able to land a couple bottles, thanks to Paul. This should age beautifully. Awesome barrel character.

Pan De Coco Paradee

7.5% porter w/toasted coconut & cocoa. Right in my kitchen. A tad roasty, in a good way. I love this well-executed example of my fave style.

Lou Pepe Gueuze Paradee

Lost check-in from Hill Day weekend.

East Side of the West Side Paradee

Cascade & Centennial. Grapefruit pine & hint of toffee. Meh...

Raison D'Extra - Bourbon Barrel Aged (R&D 2019) Paradee

Big boy beer (18%)! Raison D’Extra aged in bourbon barrels. Raisins, dates, earthy fruit, and bourbon. Great sipper on a cold night!

Scorcher Selector Paradee

This 6.6% Jamaican-inspired export stout is a brewed with two types of roasted barley & Tonga ginger, served on nitro. Light spicy fun!

Campfire Amplifier Paradee

A milk stout brewed with graham crackers, cinnamon, marshmallows, cocoa powder, and vanilla beans added. Great flavor & balance, even if the adjuncts are a bit subdued. I dig it!

Costumes And Karaoke Paradee

Imperial cream ale with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, oats cardamom and vanilla bean. Have to agree with Nick Raia, this brew is highly underrated. Smooth, creamy, vanilla, cinnamon spice...a great sipper by the fire this winter!

Mildly Darkly Paradee

Mild ale brewed to 6% ABV from a blend of English pale, crystal, and dark malts, fermented with a distinctively fruity English ale yeast strain lending cocoa and dried plum notes. I didn’t like this in 2018, and not much has changed. Just not my thang.

Covered In Nuggs Paradee

Beer #6 in Doc Pearson’s Bottle Share at the Beach. Fresh off the canning line yesterday. Thanks, Ryan!

Black Is Beautiful Paradee

DFH’s iteration of BiB is brewed with caramel malt, kiln coffee malt, chocolate malt, black malt, roasted barley, and organic dark brown sugar to create a deeply complex imperial stout with a range of intricate flavors. Roasty, dry, and bold. Thx, Ryan!

Three-Hour Handshake Paradee

Really tasty! Love me some imperial porter. Coffee & vanilla yum!
