Not sure what to get your Valentine this year? Nothing says I love you like a 4-pack or 6-pack of a well-balanced craft beer. Check out some of our favorite brews to help set the mood for a romantic Valentine’s Day.
Ohio:
Ommegang Three Philosophers | Flavors and aromas of roasted malt, molasses and brown sugar, dark fruits, brandied raisins and chocolate. | 9.7% ABV
Boulevard Tell-Tale-Tart | Subtle acidity is answered by a soft, biscuity malt character, making this a sour ale that suggests, rather than announcing its tartness. | 6.2% ABV
Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter | Dark black in color with rich, sweet aromatics and flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and caramel. | 5.9% ABV
Stone Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout | Stone traded in the bitterness of hops for the bitterness of unsweetened chocolate. Flaked oats add body and creaminess while dark-roasted malts contribute pronounced coffee notes, creating an immensely flavorful yet incredibly smooth imperial oatmeal stout. | 9.2% ABV
For Those without a Valentine:
Stone Arrogant Bastard | American Strong Ale | 7.2% ABV
Indiana:
BOM Triporteur Kinky Berry | A kinky Fruitbeer packed with fruits and finished with dry hopping. Brewed without any artificial sweetener or aroma! | 6.9% ABV
La Trappe Dubbel | The aroma is of dried fruit and candy, with the faintest hint of hops. On the tongue, Dubbel is malty and slightly sweet with a fruity, soft character. | 7% ABV
Original Sin Apple Cider | Original Sin contains no artificial flavors or colors allowing the natural qualities of the apple to speak for itself. | 6% ABV
Tyranena Down ‘N Dirty | Chocolate Oatmeal Stout brewed thick and black. | 6.5% ABV
Florida:
Bell’s Smitten | Sharp citrus & resinous flavors from the hops with the earthy, rustic overtones of the rye malt contribution yield an interesting take on the American Pale Ale. | 6% ABV
