6.5% ABV, Bell's Brewery, Galesburg, MI. Literally born in a dream: Larry Bell, president and founder of Bell's Brewery, dreamt that he was at the mystically hidden retreat of Quinannan Falls, somewhere in the boreal north. Neither Quinannan Falls nor the beer actually existed outside his imagination, but he remembered enough about it to sketch a recipe and label, which was put into full form by Michigan artist Kathleen Kalinowski, the following morning. The end result is a dry-hopped lager that possesses a crisp, dry bitterness you would expect from a German pilsner, but the use of highly aromatic Simcoe hops from the Pacific Northwest, evoke the fragrant pine forests that inspired this beer

9.5% ABV, 90 IBU, Founders Brewing Co., Grand Rapids, MI. This bold, 9.5% imperial red IPA pours a pleasing burnt amber color.

The spicy, piney and tropical complexities of Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hops hit you right away with their dank aroma – and they stick around. It's not just ridiculous. It's reDANKulous
