http://bottle-battle.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 6, 2014. Hoppy Wheat Beers — HUB vs. Three Floyds. Pig War White IPA. This battle features another beer from Three Floyds Brewing in Indiana that was generously donated to the blog by Greg (see this battle. My research revealed that the Gumballhead is a hoppy wheat beer so I sought something out that was similar and found Pig War from HUB in Portland. Battle was conducted blind (for me anyway). PS Is it just me or does it look like the pig is about to grope that poor girl in the photo?

Bottle Battle: June 2014
http://bottle-battle.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Saisons — Firestone Walker Brewing vs. Stone Brewing. First of all we must apologize for the extended blog silence. Last month we moved to a new home and transitioned to being open 7 days a week at our bakery. Much beer was drunk but we hadn't the time or energy to conduct a proper Bottle Battle. Now that things appear to be stabilizing we will attempt to get back to our semi-regular battles. Beers were tasted blind. Both of these beers are good but ultimately we chose the Opal ...

Friday, February 27, 2015. Red Ales — Payette Brewing Co. vs. Ballast Point Brewing Co. India Style Red Ale). Ballast Point Brewing Co. Beer #1 (Ballast Point Tongue Buckler) was an attractive reddish brown in the glass. The nose had plenty of hop character leaning toward piney, herbal and vegetal.

GIBSON.

Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Imperial IPAs — Green Flash Road Warrior vs. McKenzie Brewing Hopasaurus Rex. Imperial Rye India Pale Ale). We tasted blind as usual, but it was pretty pointless because rye malt imparts a dark reddish hue to beer so it was obvious based on the color which beer was which. Green Flash Road Warrior.
