Best of the Week: July 20-26

Each Sunday we will take a look at the best beer each of the four bloggers has consumed throughout the week. Here are each of our favorite beers between July 20-26:

Carl: Alien Church (Tired Hands): This American IPA had me coming back a second time as I don't think I appreciated it enough the first go around. Brewed with Mosaic, Citra, Chinook, Centennial and Columbus hops, this was one of the smoother IPAs I've had in a while. Rating: 4.75/5. Honorable Mention: Only Void (Tired Hands), Delicado (Tired Hands/Hill Farmstead collab), 077xx (Carton).

Mark: Second Fiddle (Fiddlehead): Love at first sight? This Double IPA has been a favorite of mine since I arrived on the craft beer scene. With a burnt orange appearance and a tangerine citrusy nose, what more could someone ask for? Without a doubt a world class offering from Fiddlehead. Rating: 5/5. Honorable Mention: Dinner (Maine), Lunch (Maine), Pliny the Elder (Russian River), Green (Tree House), Gose (Westbrook).

Eric: Only Void Aged on Coffee & Cherries (Tired Hands): Cherry forward! This was a well-balanced stout and probably the best dark beer I have ever had from Tired Hands. In fact, I wish I ordered a doughnut with it! Rating: 4.75/5. Honorable Mention: The Substance (Bissell Brothers), Green Diamonds (Other Half).

Joshua: Sunny Side Up (Pizza Boy): To sum it up in one phrase, it's the best cup of coffee I've ever had. I have had plenty of stouts in my time, but this one, brewed with beans from Little Amps Coffee in Harrisburg, PA, makes a case for the best stout I've ever had. Rating: 5/5. Honorable Mention: Eternal Sunshine (Pizza Boy), Murrens (Pizza Boy), Storm (Crooked Run).


Cheers to another week of drinking!
