April 2017: Hopsun from the B.O.B.

On April 17, Brewer John from The B.O.B.’s Brewery will release his summer favorite and our April Beer of the Month, Hopsun.

A perfect brew for the warm weather of summertime, this 4.6% ABV is an all Michigan-grown wheat beer. Made with a Belgian yeast and boasting 15 IBUs, Hopsun is a unique take on the classic summer wheat. This refreshing, spicy wit flavored-beer delivers at 20 Monroe NW in downtown Grand Rapids. MI.

 

The B.O.B.’s Brewery is part of the Gilmore Collection’s Big Old Building, a 70,000-square-foot, four-story, red brick building in the heart of Beer City, USA. After standing vacant for decades, the building was saved from demolition and now has five levels of entertainment, restaurants, nightlife, comedy club and the brewery. It now includes a concert space called 20 Monroe Live.

 

 

April Beer of the Month: Citra Warrior Imperial IPA from Railtown Brewing

It’s absolutely no coincidence that we’ve picked Citra Warrior Imperial IPA from Railtown Railtown BrewingBrewing as our April 2016 Beer of the Month during the same week that our friends at Behind The Mitten have named it Beer of the Week. Honestly.

We’ve been waiting to honor a brew from Railtown for a couple months now and recently found out about their new bottle release coming Monday, April 18th, the super fruity and hoppy Citra Warrior Imperial IPA. It made this choice a no-brainer.

Brewer Justin Buiter has put together a big, balanced dry-hopped concoction that leaves you wanting more. Made with locally sourced honey, it’s citrusy enough to make this guy sneeze, and finishes smooth.

Coming Monday at 3pm, Railtown will open its’ doors and hope to keep the mobs calm. Better get there early and save me a place in line.
