Brewery: Alpha Brewing Company
Location: St. Louis, MO
Name of Beer: Papaya Brett
Beer Style: American Wild Ale
ABV: 7.0%
Our Thoughts: Alpha does a TON of barrel aged beers every year. The fruit being used in this one is what intrigues us most. When all is said and done, this one has an opportunity to be damn interesting and damn delicious.
Brewery: Mother's Brewing Company
Location: Springfield, MO
Name of Beer: Black IPA
Beer Style: Black India Pale Ale
ABV: 6.8%
Our Thoughts: Mother's doesn't get into STL stores  but there are places around STL that you can pick up their beers with a drive of 30 minutes or less. This roasty and hoppy IPA will definitely be one we save the gas money for.
Brewery: Mother's Brewing Company
Location: Springfield, MO
Name of Beer: English Tea Pale Ale
Beer Style: English Pale Ale
ABV: 4.8%
Our Thoughts: This sounds like another one worth driving for. English pale ales are less hop forward than  the American style. The addition of earl gray tea will work wonders in making this overlooked style a bit more complex.
Brewery: Boulevard Brewing Company
Location: Kansas City, MO
Name of Beer: Collaboration No. 6
Beer Style: Specialty Beer
ABV: 12.5%
Our Thoughts: This beer will be a blend of some Boulevard beers and some Firestone Walker beers. Here are the beers and the percentage of the final beer that they will make up: Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad – 45%, Firestone Walker Stickee Monkee – 35%, Imperial Stout X – Tart Cherry (Whiskey Barrel-aged) – 10% and Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin – 10%. Yeah. We're sold.
