ABR LIVE! Review #8 - Iron Horse Brewing's Release the Beast Citra Pale Ale

On this episode of ABR LIVE!, Brian is back and still mostly alive. Today we are diving into Moneybeer - Alec, Brian, and Chad each put together a dream 6-pack for our next Tavour crate. But just like your favorite penny-pinching MLB front office, we are working with a limited budget. On top of that we are limited to the beers that have landed at ABR LIVE! HQ via Tavour. While we reveal our crates we weigh in on a couple of heavyweight brews from Civil Society Brewing and Fair State Co-Op.

On today's episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, Chad struggles with how to describe non-IPA beers. Starting off 2024, the crew digs into Brian's Too Many Hops Theory, running down some experiments ran over the holiday season.

We crack our first pod-beer of the year, The Ale Apothecary's Little Star Saison, a shining example of the wonderful blending of flavors that wild/farmhouse style ales can achieve. We talk a bit about the Bend, Oregon beer scene, and the various road trip techniques each of us employ. Second up, we enter Vahalla (metaphorically) extra warm thanks to Viking Funeral (Chocolate Chipotle 2023), from Four Fathers Brewing. Still warm from the chipotle, we talk about the closing of a local favorite, Odd Otter Brewing. To make us not too sad about it, we do a patented ABR Beer List that highlights a couple of Brian's brewery besties - Structures Brewing and Stoup Brewing.
