8th Wonder BrewGK Apple Kolsch

Every Thanksgiving, i pretty much pick out three different beers to accompany my day, something sessionable for the bulk of the day while i cook, a dinner brew, and then something a little heavier for dessert.  This year's pregame drinker was the BrewGK Apple Kolsch, a 5.7% brew collaboration from Houston's 8th Wonder Brewery and rapper Bun B.  Pouring a nice gold with a bubbly white head, the beer almost smells like a cider, the apples heavy on the nose.  The flavor is a tasty mix of said apples with some spices and hints of caramel, a wonderful brew that paired well with all the different food coming out of my kitchen.  Thanks Bun B!

8th Wonder Dome Faux'm

We are quickly approaching some MLB playoff action, and while football has always been my sport of choice, there's just something about Fall baseball that feels so right.  So why not start drinking a brew that would be the perfect companion at the ballpark?  Houston's 8th Wonder Brewery has just the concoction you need.  Their Dome Faux'm Cream Ale is a pre-prohibition throwback beer, a crisp and easy drinking beverage for any sporting event...or just sitting around at home in the backyard or whatever.  Pouring gold with a thick and foamy white head, the 5.2% ABV beer smells of grains, grass, malt, and spicy hops.  Light and drinkable, the flavor is a good and balanced mix of malt and hops with just the tangiest bit of bite.  I imagine they'll be drinking a lot of these in Houston is the Astros can repeat this year.
