Stone Xocoveza Mocha Stout Beer

Sometimes the best recipes are tucked away at home, and need exposure to really shine. Xocoveza Mocha Stout is an example, as this year's winner of the American Homebrewers Association-sanctioned competition provided the recipe for this tasty collaboration with Stone Brewing, who assisted in the process and gave it the wider audience it deserves. It's meant to mimic a Mexican hot chocolate, and hits the mark with chocolate, nutmeg, and just enough chile pepper to provide some warmth at the end of a sip.

Golden Road Point The Way IPA

It's no secret that some of the best IPAs come from the West Coast. Many are big and bold but not enough are both great and easy to drink. Point The Way IPA is Golden Road Brewing's ode to Los Angeles, where they brew it and several other beers. The 5.9% beer was re-imagined last year by a brand new brewmaster and is now finds itself in the class of some West Coast heavyweights. An optimal sipper for the beach, or any occasion where a crisp, clean IPA is called for.

Goose Island The Muddy Beer

There aren't very many breweries with as solid of a reputation for brewing Imperial Stouts as Goose Island in Chicago, and the latest to hit shelves continues that tradition. The Muddy is a new Imperial Stout celebrating the 1940's blues scene in Chicago, brewed with black licorice and Belgian dark rock candi sugar. The 9% ABV hides nicely in this rich, chocolatey brew along with some dark fruit and subtle licorice notes — making it an ideal sipper heading into fall.

Carhartt Woodsman Beer

It's no surprise to see two breweries collaborate on a special beer, but when a brewery pairs up with a clothing company, you can be sure the collaboration is unique.

This barrel-aged pale ale showcases locally-grown Cascade hops with just a touch of oak and sweet malt for an incredibly sessionable beer.

As home-brewers know, a brew day can be a lot of work, but is almost as fun as enjoying the finished product.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest Beer

Now that the calendar has ticked over to September, we don't feel as guilty tipping back fall beers anymore. And one you should never feel guilty about is Oaktoberfest from Firestone Walker. It's their take on a traditional German Märzen style complete with imported Pilsner and Vienna malts along with German Hallertau hops. Despite the oaky name, this Märzen is brewed in stainless steel tanks and gets its name from Firestone Walker's hometown, Paso Robles, which is Spanish for "Pass of The Oaks." Easily one of the best ways to celebrate the incoming fall season.

Almanac Golden Gate Gose

Gose is quickly becoming the most popular new style in craft brewing after the thirst for some of those that were first to market continues to rise. Almanac Brewing decided to embrace the old German style with Golden Gate Gose. Almanac takes the classic wheat style and uses San Francisco Bay sea salt, lemon verbena and coriander grown especially for the brewery in Santa Cruz, California. The tart, refreshing beer makes sense just about anytime, but pair it with fresh seafood to unlock its true potential.

Aspen Belgian Farmhouse Saison

One thing craft brewers are getting better and better at here in the US is brewing the traditional Belgian ales that pioneered the beer world so long ago. A great example of this maturation is found in Belgian Farmhouse Saison from Aspen Brewing in Aspen, Colorado. This straw colored beer brings some hops to the table, but the farmhouse yeast and effervescent mouthfeel are the real stars of the show. Judges at the World Beer Cup agreed this year, as it topped almost 100 other entries to win the Gold in the French and Belgian-Style Saison Category. In celebration of the award, a special run of the beer was recently released.

Flower Power from Ithaca Brewing in New York is a perfect example of this, and helped pioneer the path for many IPAs that have followed. With a tropical jungle of a nose and a hopped up taste thanks to five different dry-hopping sessions, this bad boy not only is an old stand-by, but also stacks up incredibly well to the avalanche of IPAs that have been trying to keep up over the past decade plus.
