Brant Smith is drinking an Utopias (2019) by Samuel Adams at The Republic Bottleshop
Strong notes of sherry and strong booze/malt can be smelt literally feet away from the glass when freshly poured. I’d call it a boozy barleywine. It has nice lingering hip and malt tones like a barleywine but hot alcohol and sherry punch at initial sip.

Brant Smith is drinking a Porter Street by Headworks Brewing
I think my favorite beer at Headworks is the Porter (I’m generally not a dark beer fan). Incredible execution! The coffee and roasted characters are magical and balanced and lingering without being overbearing! Thanks you sir brewer for one to remember!

Brant Smith is drinking a Railroad Red by Headworks Brewing
Very nice red. Reminiscent of Alaskan Amber but with its own identity! Medium body, earthy hops, not overly bitter while highlighting malts! This brewer knows how to make malty beer right!

This vintage has cherry in the brew. The cherry makes it smoother and sweeter but still seems barleywine-ish. Still has a boozy punch. Lingers much like maple syrup and grains. Very nice!
