REVIEW: Uinta Dubhe
Today I'm wrapping up my week of Uinta beers. Thus far, I've been quite impressed. Both with the fruity and excellent Hop Notch IPA and the subtle and sessionable Baba black lager. Today I'm taking a look at Dubhe, an imperial black IPA brewed with hemp seeds. I'll be honest with you, I have no idea what hemp seeds taste like. I have no idea what they'll do to the flavor of the beer. But a 9.2% ABV Imperial Black IPA, that sounds up my alley. To the beer!

REVIEW: Uinta Hop Notch.
This week I'm taking a look at a brewery that's new to Ohio, Uinta Brewing Co. out of Salt Lake City. I have been waiting with bated breath to get my hands on some Uinta beers. But for once, not because of the good things I've heard about the beer inside. My excitement for these beers is 100% due to those stunningly, drop-dead gorgeous labels. They are designed by The Tenfold Collective, a design firm in Loveland, Colorado. Seriously, that is some amazing work. The vintage look, the terrific typography, the simple lovely illustration, and the great choices on color. And check out the bottle with the compass markings! I mean, come on! This is the kind of work that makes me a bit sick to my stomach that I didn't do myself. I like The Tenfold Collective's work so much I even applied for a job there a while ago. But enough of my gushing. Let's see if the beer inside is as lovely as the art on the bottle. To the beer!
