Wild Card Games

You have got to take a look at Rivertown Brewing Company's beer line up. They brew everything from a Helles to a Geuze! 

Karbach Brewing Company is another brewery putting their beer in cans. Yes, that's right cans!  They have four styles available and two of them are IPA's.

Surly Brewing Company is another brewery putting their best in cans. Not just any cans, either, but tall boys.  Oh yeah!  16oz of 85IBU Furious for me please!

Hinterland has quite the portfolio with beers ranging from a "very malty and velvet smooth" Oktoberfest to the "spicy and complex" Grand Cru. Oh and they have also been a big supporter of my weekly polls!-)

Brugge Brasserie has a short but impressive Belgian inspired beer portfolio. How about a black belgian that "reminds the drinker of chocolate" or a Belgian IPA that is "clearly Belgian on the nose but with the noticeable soft hop bitterness of summit and amarillo"

Heavy Seas has a huge portfolio that boasts 7 year 'round beers, 20 specialty beers and that doesn't even take into consideration their cask program!

With 50+ beers in their portfolio they may be going all the way.  I have always been a fan of Elysian but I had no idea they brewed so much!

I was unaware of 3 Stars Brewing Company until this year.  If you haven't discovered this brewery yet you need to!  Their portfolio contains at least 12 beers but it is their 3 rye beers that I am most interested in!
