3 BC Craft Beers That You Can't Afford To Miss Out On

You can work the word beer into pretty much every month of the year. In this case February, or Fe(Brew)ary brings an onslaught of dark beers, IPAs and seasonal releases. While the darkest of winter brings 10%+ beers and heavily spiced brews, now we see some more traditional and approachable beers hitting the shelves. With spring just around the corner this is your last chance to enjoy the flavours of winter while also getting a slightly more sessionable approach to craft beer. Here are three of the beers the we think are awesome from the month of Fe(brew)ary

Fuggles-warlock-raiden-black-ipa

The Fuggles & Warlock Brewery has the catch phrase "keeping beer weird" and with that frame of mind they have pulled out the N64 and played tribute to a classic Mortal Kombat character. More importantly though, the Raiden Black IPA is absolutely delicious! This Black IPA blends a big bodied, roasted malt flavour with a strong hop-infusion to give a deep and dark, yet surprisingly well balanced IPA flavour. With the Raiden Black IPA flying off retail shelves, don't be surprised if you hear "Round 2, Fight!" in the back of your mind as you scramble for the last bottle.
