Hop Heaven: New Beers in Texas
by Chuk the Foodie
Fans of suds take note! New craft beers have made their way to the Lone Star State and are now available at Central Market!
Two beers from The Brooklyn Brewery are finally available without a trip to New York. Longtime NYC favorite Brooklyn Lager, a full-flavored, somewhat dark brew that has a near perfect balance of malt and hops. Also from the Brooklyn Brewery is their East India Pale Ale which is a fine example of an IPA, but not overly hoppy.
The word from the Wine & Beer department is that more beers from the Brooklyn stable are headed this way. This is great news for beer lovers!
Another very exciting new arrival are beers from Green Flash Brewery. We are currently stocking their West Coast IPA and Hop Head Red Ale. These are both fantastic beers and the IPA is a hop-lovers dream. In limited quantities is their Imperial IPA a super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops. This is one of the most intense hop experiences I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
We also have their Barley Wine and Trippel styles available.
I love this time of year. The seasonal winter ales are starting to arrive and it’s always exciting to taste the year’s offerings. Check them out early and often!
