We tried to find the newest brewery in town tonight, and it did take a while. It was dusting in town and we passed by the establishment multiple times before we actually found it, but once we did it was as if we had found our savior. At first glimpse the building looks like a garage of sorts, there was even a guy frying up some fish tacos up outside in the snow. Once we entered from the snowy tundra outside there was an instant feeling of "YES". There was nothing in this room besides beer taps and stools. In my opinion this place is barebones and rightfully so. They know what matters and they respect their craft. After sampling a few of their brews, including a slightly sour brown/red ale, a very mild wheat beer and then the newest addition, their RPM IPA, we settled on the colabo from Three Floyds and Boneyard called "Armored Fist".
It has the nose of an IPA, the malt profile of a brown ale and then the ABV of a barley wine. With first sip you get a delicious citrusy and grapefruit character that sticks around after the swallow and then finishes with a slightly dry burn from the alcohol. This beer leaves a very distinct off white lacing on the glass and maintains its head throughout the full beer and leaves you wondering how they hid that 10% ABV so well.
Cheers
