Urban Family Brewing – Sacred Arrow

Today Arfred is serving Urban Family – Sacred Arrow, a 8% imperial sour with raspberries. This was solid, but honestly I’m kind of meh with raspberry sours right now. Nothing against them, it just feels like I’ve had a ton…

Islla Street Brewing – Cobra Chai

Today Arfred is serving Islla St – Cobra Chai, a 11% chai spiced imperial stout. Put him in a body bag! Are y’all loving the Cobra Kai series as much as I am? They have seriously done an amazing job…

Last Wave Brewing – Island Time Mai Tai

Today Arfred is serving Last Wave Island Time Mai Tai, a 5.3% sour with orange and pineapple. According to the can, this is best enjoyed with friends. Damn, won’t it be nice to have friends again as we get vaccinated…

Bombastic Brewing – Parliament

Today Arfred is serving Bombastic Parliament Raspberry Gose, a 5.5% sour with sea salt and raspberry puree. George Clinton and P-Funk! I love this can art so much. This reminds me of one of my favorite 90’s movies, PCU. Jeremy…
