Remember bombers? If you haven’t been in the craft community for years you may not remember how popular they were in the early ‘00s. Nearly everything high ABV was packed in them but they’ve gone the way of the dodo since cans became the preferred packaging. BlackStack Brewing Bombers DDH DIPA In Cans reminds us of a time passed.
Bombers
22oz bomber bottles have largely disappeared from store shelves. They took up too much room, were too much or too little to drink, and the price point was never great. But this Bombers is.
It pours a brilliant yellow with a frothy head of white bubbles atop. The foam settles with time and leaves just a small ring of dense white around the edge of the glass.
Big pineapple and white peach aroma in the nose, with a touch of apricot sweetness in the distance.
Hand-selected Citra, Talus, & Amarillo Cryo bomb your tastebuds with tropical tastes of sweet pineapple, mandarin orange, and papaya. It tastes like fresh-squeezed juice on the tongue.
It’s Bomb
Bottles and now Bombers, BlackStack is reminding us of the old days when glass was the preferred packaging for craft beer. Bombers served up plenty of tasty brews but have mostly been abandoned.
