If Your Beer Is Not Madness, It’s Not Beer.
Welcome to Melvin Brewing! This is the beginning of your wonderful new, Kung Fu friendship between our brew family and all beer lovers alike. Talk of Melvin began on the West coast — but the heart of Melvin started beating in the small town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With big ideas and even bigger barrels of hops, Melvin now takes off in the hands of Founder, Jeremy Tofte, and head Production Brewer, Ian Fuller. We started in the back of a Thai restaurant on a 20 gallon system in 2010 and upgraded to a 100-gallon system in 2011. Now we brew on a 30 barrel system with big shiny tanks and centrifuges and things. Fancy that. The state of Wyoming wanted to export some high-quality goods to the outside world, so they gave us a $3 million dollar grant to build a Production Facility. We landed in the quaint mountain hamlet of Alpine (pop. 700), 30 miles south of the Hollywood of Wyoming. From the new brewery, we sent our first kegs out to the West Coast in January 2016 and cans came out on April Fools Day 2016. We put a metric shit ton of hops in our beers and ferment and dry hop them longer than most. Did we mention we started with a full lab to check consistency and quality on an hourly basis? Who does that? Would you look at that? Sometimes you just gotta look at it.

My can looks a lot different, 19.2 oz to begin with and there’s some shiny silver on the label. So I like it a lot more than the one above. Purchased from the fine folks at Half Time who maintain me in IPAs. A small glass in place. The smell is quite hoppy, yellow fruit and pine tree. The drink follows the smell significantly. Apricots, grain, malt, fruit leaning hops and meadow. Tasty. I’m appreciating the 9.9% abv early and enjoying the brew with my daughter on the patio considerably this fine early summer evening.

Burk jämföres ihop med Melvin Asterix. Doftar lite svagare än asterixen. I näsan finns Apelsin, annanas och persika samt lite hav. I munnen först apelsin och citronskal som sen övergår i bara citronskal och lite parfym och viol. Lågt kolsyrad såklart som sig bör i kvalitets öl. Sjukt bra Dipa. Men inte bättre än Asterixen som är enligt mig en av världens godaste öl. Ok utav av de 2000 Dipor jag provat

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. No dating that I can find on the bottle.
It pours not quite pitch black with a small short lived head of tan foam. Very little lacing.
Smells of caramel malt, maple syrup, brown sugar, dark pitted fruits, sweet with some alcohol.
Taste is maple syrup, caramel malt, brown sugar, pitted fruits, some heat from the alcohol, can't deny the flavour of Bourbon. Yikes. Pretty darn smooth.
Close to full bodied if not so. Gentle carbonation.
Impressive!

On tap pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is rich roast malts some pine citrus hops. Taste is more of the nice rich roast malts some ash and a nice hop kick.
