Three Craft Beer Bombers for 5$ and Under

Werewolf abv 8%

This Belgium-Style strong ale is from Lithuania. I found this beer to be very drinkable and I even preferred the taste to other Belgium-Style beers that are more popular like Delirium or New Belgium. Lithuania is not the hippest region for beer in America and as a result has fared poorly on rating websites. This beer, however, is worth a pour and you may be surprised that some of the tastier beers are not the most expensive.

... and let's not forget about that badass label.


Victory Helios, abv 7.5%

This Belgium-Style Saison is dynamic and tasty. First of all, farmhouse ales like this one usually start at 10$ and they go up from there. If you have never had a Saison or farmhouse you should start with this one. The Helios has a light citrus nose and a banana-bready overall taste experience. It is the spicy finish that makes this beer interesting and memorable.

A Rich Man's Pamosa:

1 Part Orange Juice
4 Parts Victory Helios

Serve with pancakes or sausage biscuits.

Yazoo Sue, abv 9%

The Sue is a smoked porter and is a monster when it comes to flavor. This beer is rich and dark with the smokey malt flavors that envelope the drinking experience. The Sue blows the other Yazoo products out of the water. This beer is for dark beer lovers and holds its ground when competing with larger brewing companies like Stone and Sierra Nevada. A Beer Named Sue should make all Nashvillans proud to call Yazoo their own. 

Serve this beer with pulled pork or in a frosted mug with vanilla ice cream.
