De Ranke Amer-Amer
BELGIUM - An American-style IPA with a Belgian influence. They procured Cascade Centennial hop rhizomes from the Yakama Valley in Oregon, then they had their hop farmer in Popperinge, Belgium, cultivate these distinctively American hops in their southern Belgian soil. The influence of terroir was an eye-opening experience for me. The hops have softened the aggressive bitterness associated with those grown in Oregon. These hops still add intense flavor and aroma, plus they dry-hop each batch with Cascade to up the rich aroma profile. As always, DeRanke only used whole cone hops, never pellets. 6%abv
Dupont Saison
BELGIUM - This benchmark saison has been brewed at the farm-brewery since 1844. Still owned and operated by the same family. Founded by Rimaux Deridder in 1844 and passed through to Louis Dupont in 1920. Then passed to Sylva Rosier in 1945, who passed it on to his son Marc Rosier in 1964. Marc's nephew, Oliver Dedeycker took over the brewing duties in 2002. Peppery hops and fruity esters derived soley from the hops and yeast. This is the Saison that inspired hundreds of brewers from around the world. This is still perfection. 6.5%abv

Russian River Pliny the Elder
WINDSOR, CALIFORNIA - A bit of history first: Vinnie Cilurzo brewed America's first Double IPA, named "Inaugural Ale", back in 1994 at Blind Pig Brewing Co, Temecula, CA. Then Vinnie was hired as the original and only head brewer at Korbel Chanpagnes Cellars' foray into brewing - Russian River Brewing Co. Vinnie and his wife, Natalie bought the brewery a few years later and opened their Santa Rosa location. Vinnie is the originator of this style and he still brews the best version, Pliny the Elder. Brewed with copious amounts of Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe hops. Very hoppy, but not a hop bomb - the balance of the malt and hops is extraordinary. Super drinkable, but be careful it's 8%abv.
