Joseph Chlubna is drinking a Strawberry Jacket (2025) by Revolution Brewing at The Den
6/16/25 not only does this work, it’s incredibly well done. Sweet, juicy strawberries blend with oaky, vanillin bourbon. 🍓🥃

Joseph Chlubna is drinking a Timeless On Twelve by HenHouse Brewing Company at The Den
8/25/23 classic, old school, hoppy AF American BW, then drenched in sweet, oaky bourbon. Both indulgently perfect and audaciously imperfect. It ain’t smooth, it ain’t easy drinking, it’s brash and in your face in the best possible way.

Joseph Chlubna is drinking a Marionberry Dissident (2018) by Deschutes Brewery at The Den
7/1/18 vinous oak, like an earthy Pinot Noir, poured over tart, jammy berries. This works so incredibly well together and it’s still drinking phenomenally.

Joseph Chlubna is drinking an Aloha Friday (2025) by The Bruery at The Den
12/22/25 it’s not bad, it’s just, not right. Very different from previous vintages. There’s an unwelcome chocolate sauce vibe. The Mac nuts are overdone, it’s audaciously buttery. Where’s the toasty, tropical coconut 🤷🏻♂️ A rare miss for BT.

4/14/25 Phenomenal. Reminds me of Port BT. Incredibly vinous, red wine forward. Dark chocolate, tanned leather, dark berries, charred oak. OG Bruery level wine barrel mastery, callback to Sour Jesus. Just a touch hot, with a bone dry finish. 🍷🔥
