Beer In Front Awards: Deschutes Black Butte Porter
My next beer for judging is one of the beers I have been drinking for over 30 years. It is the first dark beer that rocked my socks off. It is the Deschutes Black Butte Porter.
Beer In Front Awards: New Belgium Fat Tire
My next beer for judging is probably one of the first craft beers a lot people tried. It is a beer I drank a lot of when I was first on my craft beer journey and my wife for years called it Flat Tire. It is the classic Fat Tire from Colorado brewery New Belgium.
Beer In Front Awards: Anchor Steam Beer
My next beer for judging is a classic West Coast beer out of San Francisco. It’s the Anchor Brewing Steam Beer.
The appearance of this beer is very nice. A clear, golden amber color with a nice dense off white head. This gets an 8 for appearance.
2022 Beer In Front Awards: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
My next beer for judging is a beer from a brewery that was very popular in the early 2000’s. It is Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. I first tried beers from this brewery around 2007 when my wife found a loophole to have beers shipped to a local store. The mark up was crazy and she paid over $40 for a mix six pack. Needless to say none of the beers live up to the price tag. One of those beers was this 90 minute IPA.

My next beer for judging is a style that gets little love, but is a great one to bridge between the lighter lagers and the stronger porters and stouts. It’s the brown ale. The Big Sky Moose Drool is a classic brown focused on malts.
