Next on Tap: Ninja vs Unicorn, Sunday Paper, Puny Partridge, Yo! Blueberry

PIPEWORKS NINJA VS. UNICORN

Style: Imperial IPA

Abv: 8%

Size, Price: sm, $8

First off, these cats are definitely strange ones, with an intense nerd-core alien/ninja bent: just check out their

artwork here.  Started in Chicago in 2012, the brewery has expanded rapidly and is now self-distributed across

Illinois, in New York and Connecticut, and lastly in Boston due to the recent expansion of Night Shift into

distribution (thank you NS for not just your beers).  The descriptor provided by the brewers on Beer Advocate:

Ninja vs. Unicorn celebrates the epic battle between two of the biggest hop-heads of lore. Brewed with over

five pounds of hops per barrel, this unfiltered double IPA is sure to please the most discerning hop lover.

Whether you’re rooting for the mythical horned horse or the deadly assassin of the east, we hope you’ll enjoy

Ninja vs. Unicorn.

EXHIBIT “A” SUNDAY PAPER

Style: Imperial Stout

Abv.: 9.9%

Size, Price: sm, $7.5

This beer is brewed with local malt from Hadley, MA, as well as coffee from Barrington Coffee Roasters.

 Though really high abv, the beer is very balanced, with intense aromas of coffee, toffee, and chocolate.

TRILLIUM PUNY PARTRIDGE

Style: Pale Ale

Abv.: 5%

Size, Price: Lg, $8.5

Part of our Small Bird series of seasonal, sessionable pale ales, Puny Partridge features Mosaic and Nelson

Sauvin hops balanced with a malt profile of Maris Otter and Naked Malted Oats.  Leading with aromas of

freshly squeezed orange juice, pith, and tropical fruit, Puny Partridge pops with a palate of fruit salad and

melon. A crisp, light body and lower ABV make Puny Partridge an easy drinking, delicious Pale Ale.

SLIM PICKINS YO! BLUEBERRY CIDER

Style: Fruited Cider

Abv.: 6.2%

Size, Price: sm, $8

Made by a company specializing in cider and mead out of Tampa, Florida.  Distribution is small, so go us for

having it!  Made from apple juice and blueberries, the cider is dark pink in color. Aroma is fruity and lactic, like

a blueberry yogurt. Taste has sweet red apples, apple skin and candied berries
