I do not drink beer every day. I know, it is a crazy statement, but it is 100% true. Most days when I don’t indulge in the drink I sip on coffee or plain old water throughout the day. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there are plenty of days I find myself wanting something with flavor that isn’t a beer. Over the last couple years there has been an influx of options to meet this need. N/A beers are a solid option, and there…

Hazy IPA’s! They’re all over in the beer world. Since it’s inception the Haze Craze has given us a plethora of IPA’s and in most pubs become the dominant style of beer on the menu. Over the years we’ve seen fruity haze, sour haze, milkshake haze and many more. It’s a style of beer beloved by many, so it only seems fitting that a brewery like Dogfish Head would find a way to further innovate within the style. Dogfish Head has a reputation for making…

2020 has been a strange year. For the craft beer industry it’s been incredibly challenging, however there was no shortage of magnificent beers to try. So without further ado here are my favorite beers of 2020 as well as my picks for Brewery of the year! Pineapple cloud 19- Brew Detroit View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sommbeer (@sommbeer) I really don’t dig on a lot of IPA’s lately, I still have respect for the style but it’s rarely something that I…

Sour beer. To be honest sour beer is a style of beer that Sommbeer simply doesn’t talk about enough. Sours are super popular within the craft beer community and, for better or worse, it just seems to be a style that most of our contributors shy away from. I really don’t have a good answer as to why this is. More often than not when I try a sour beer I find interesting and unique qualities in them. Is it my “go to” style of…

It’s the year 2020 and to say things are changing in the world would be a dramatic understatement. One change that is happening, on the lighter side of things, is the way people view marijuana and marijuana products. Leading the way on the marijuna charge are CBD products. Personally I was never big into weed myself, it just didn’t do much for me. So if you’re like me and might have to google what exactly CBD is let me save you a step. CBD is…

There are many elements that go into making a successful brewery. Building a brand, creating a good atmosphere in your taproom, employing a staff that connects to the community and countless other variables that go into building a reputable company. One of those things that can not be ignored is having a solid flagship beer that, for lack of better wording, keeps the lights on. More often than not that flagship beer is probably going to be an IPA. For a lot of us, myself…

Fruity beer can be a good thing. Granted not every beer is enhanced by fruit. Sometimes fruit can actually be counterproductive to a well crafted beer. However sometimes cranking the fruit volume up to 11 makes an already great beer magically delicious. Cloud 19 is a New England Style IPA made by Brew Detroit. The base brew of Cloud 19 is delicious and wonderful on it’s own. I usually follow Brew Detroit pretty close and try to keep up on their releases throughout the year.…

Spring is here! The change of seasons in northern states is always a good thing. People start to transition from heavy coats and boots and start living day to day a bit more comfortably. Around this time of year a lot of people’s beer tastes change too and starts to move towards something a little lighter. Those who like to be out and about need a good beer to accommodate the change in season. This is the time of year where the store shelves start…

Every year we see new fads pop up in craft beer. Some stick around, while some fizzle out after a season or so on the shelves. It’s still early in the year but one trend that is popping up in 2020 has been the low cal IPA. The concept of low calorie beer seems to be rather divisive. Many people found craft out of a desire to avoid lighter beers. With that in mind I can see how people would be apprehensive about the low…
