Had to try some semi local beer while hanging out in seaside. Bouy Beer Company is from Astoria, Oregon. This is a very well balanced IPA. It has lots of hops flavor and a smooth malty finish. At 7.5 ABV, I would highly recommend this brew for any IPA fan. #bouybrewing #beerreview #seaside #astoria #beachandbeer (at Seaside Beach)

Opened a bottle of Cider Riot Oregon Blackberry cider. This has a sweet yeasty funky smell. It is very dry and tart without very much berry flavor. At 6.9 ABV, it's highly carbonated with a watery taste. I think it might be bottle conditioned and not stored properly where I purchased it since it has "live product" on the side. I would be curious to try some of their other products to see how it compares. #catznbeer #cider #ciderriot #ciderreviews #portland

Had to try Aspall Perronelle's Blush English Cider. It has a light sweet honeysuckle. It has low carbonation with a balance sweet/tart apple berry taste. At 5.7 ABV, this is a very drinkable cider. This is the 3rd Aspall cider I have tried and I've been a fan of each one. #aspall #catznbeer #hardcider #cider #sunday

Tried Blue Mountain Peach Hard Apple Cider. It has a nice sweet apple fragrance. It has a well balanced flavor with a hint of peach. At 6% ABV, this is a very drinkable cider on the sweeter end. #catznbeer #bluemountaincider #ciderreviews #miltonfreewater #hardcider

Picked up some Diamond Knot IPA. This brew is based out of Mukilteo, Washington. This brew has a nice hoppy fragrance. It has a well balance flavor with a long earthy finish. This is a good 6.2 ABV brew. #catznbeer #beerreview #diamondknotbrewery #guineapigsofinstagram #guineapig (at Mukilteo, Washington)

Tried Base Camp Brewing Companies IN-Tents IPL.This is a India-Style Pale Lager brewed in Portland, Oregon. I’m a big fan of their light weight metal containers. The beer was a deep amber. It has a very light hoppy fragrance. It had a lot of burnt malt flavor and medium hops. It reminded me more of a red ale than anything. At 6.8 ABV, I felt the flavor wasn’t strong enough to back up that level of alcohol. While I would love to try more from this brewery, I won’t be buying this particular brew again. #catznbeer #catsandbeer #beerreview #basecampbrewing #beer #wednesday

Found Goose Island’s Lolita in the bargin bin at the local grocery store so had to grab one. This is a belgium style wild ale with 8.7% ABV. While is normally is fairly expensive, I got it for $8.30 so I couldn’t pass it up. It smells like a fruity farm yard with hints of bandaid. It has a deep amber color with low carbonation.I could see a slightly oily look on top. It has a strong sour berry taste with a bitter soapy after taste. It leaves a long dryness on my tongue. While I still enjoyed drinking this, I wouldn’t pay full price for it.#gooseisland #lolita #beerreview #beer #sourbeer #belgiumbeer

Drinking one of my favs! Russian River Consecration - sour ale barrel aged. If you likes sour beers, you will love this one. Current moving out of my condo so the only glass I could find was a pint glass. Please forgive me! #russianriverbrewing #sourbeer #catsandbeer #catznbeer #beerreview (at Russian River Brewing Company)

Cracked open a Hair of the Dog 2014 Fred from the woods. This is a bottle conditioned ale with 10% ABV. This beer has a strong boozy Carmel burnt whisky fragrance. It has a deep Amber color with creamy foam and long legs. It is bitter, smoky and very smooth. It has low carbonation with a long aftertaste. This ale is very complex. If you like scotch and beer, this is the beer for you. #catznbeer #catsandbeer #beerreview #hairofthedog #bottleconditioned #portlandoregon (at Hair Of The Dog Brewery And Tasting Room)

Picked up some Modern Times Apricot Gose. Gose style beer is quickly becoming my favorite session beer with its tart refreshing flavor and low abv. (This one has 4.8 abv). This beer has a sweet fruity fragrance. It has lots of apricot, banana and citrus flavor. I found that this beer taste best about 45 minutes out of the fridge. The raise in temperature brings out the stone fruit flavor. There is a nice tart and wheaty aftertaste. This Gose has a creamier mouthfeel then typical of this style which I really enjoyed. If you like Goses', I would definitely check this out. #catznbeer #catsandbeer #beerreview #moderntimesbeer #moderntimes #gose

Cracked open a can of Avery Brewing Liliko'i Kepolo. This is a Belgium-style white ale brewed with passion fruit and spices. It has a warm fruity and honey fragrance. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit flavor. Very well balanced. Lots of carbonation with a light tart aftertaste. Very enjoyable. #catznbeer #catsandbeer #beerreview #averybrewing #ale
