CANarchy is a prominent player in the beer industry, owning several well-known and respected beer brands. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of experiencing and appreciating the quality and diversity of their portfolio. Let me take you on a journey through some of the brands that CANarchy proudly owns.
1. Cigar City: This Tampa-based brewery is renowned for its innovative and flavorful beers. They are known for their iconic Jai Alai IPA, which showcases a perfect balance of hops and malt. Additionally, Cigar City's Hunahpu's Imperial Stout has gained a cult following for its rich, complex flavors of chocolate, cinnamon, and chili peppers.
2. Oskar Blues: Hailing from Colorado, Oskar Blues is famous for being one of the pioneers of craft beer in a can. Their flagship beer, Dale's Pale Ale, is an American classic with a vibrant hop profile and a crisp, clean finish. Oskar Blues also offers a wide range of other beers, including their renowned Ten FIDY Imperial Stout and the refreshing Mama's Little Yella Pils.
3. Deep Ellum: Based in Dallas, Deep Ellum Brewery takes inspiration from the vibrant music and arts scene of its namesake neighborhood. Their beers are bold and full of character, just like the city itself. I particularly enjoy their Dallas Blonde Ale, a refreshing and approachable beer with a touch of citrus. Deep Ellum also crafts unique brews like the Neato Bandito Mexican-style Lager and the hop-forward IPA, Dream Crusher.
4. Perrin Brewing: Nestled in Comstock Park, Michigan, Perrin Brewing produces a diverse range of beers that cater to various palates. Their Grapefruit IPA is a personal favorite, boasting a bright and zesty citrus flavor that perfectly complements the hop bitterness. Perrin also offers interesting seasonal brews like the No Rules Vietnamese Porter, aged in bourbon barrels with coconut and turbinado sugar.
5. Squatters and Wasatch: These sister breweries, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, have been crafting exceptional beer since the early days of the craft beer revolution. Squatters' Hop Rising Double IPA is a hop lover's dream, packing a punch with its bold hop flavors and a sturdy malt backbone. Wasatch is famous for its quirky and playful beers, such as the Polygamy Porter, which playfully embraces Utah's unique cultural heritage.
Each of these brands brings its own distinct personality and flavor to the CANarchy family. They showcase the creativity and passion that the craft beer industry is known for. As a sommelier and brewer, I find great joy in exploring the unique offerings from these brands and sharing my experiences with fellow beer enthusiasts.
