Thriller is Asheville, North Carolina’s Green Man Brewery’s blood orange saison, part of the brewery’s high gravity series. This saison is an effort that has a vibrant reddish-brown to ruby red color and a good amount of beige head that dissipates in short order. Hints of yeast and malt are married to more barnyard (grassy, hay) elements. The 7.7% ABV of the brew is hidden perfectly among the distinctive flavor…

The Smoked Peach Short Weisse from Smuttynose ($6 from the brewery directly, available through normal distribution) is the latest release from the Smuttlabs line, available in 16.9 ounce bottle. The beer pours with a goldenrod coloration and nothing in the way of head or lacing. The peach nose is intense here and is matched well during the initial quaff. Equally present during this early segment of Smuttynose’s Smoked Peach Short…
California’s Coronado Brewing Company has just released their Stupid Stout for the year. The 2015 iteration of Stupid Stout is one of the most rock-solid imperial stouts that we have reviewed at NeuFutur. When one pours into a goblet or glass, they will be greeted with a black color that is dark as night with a good amount of tan heads that is slow to dissipate. The effort comes in…
Avery’s Old Jubilation Ale pours with a dark brown and a very small amount of tannish, off-white head. There is a good amount of effervescence to this effort, which immediately invites with a nose that links together dark fruit with just a hint of alcohol. When one begins to sip the beer, they will be greeted with a good amount of toasted malt, nuttiness, and a bit of coffee. The…
Chuggington: Traintastic Adventures is a DVD release that captures some of the most well-liked Chuggington episodes into one handy DVD release. The Brewster Booster, Koko’s New Look, Stunt Brewster, Hodge and the Chugnav, Lights Camera Action Chugger, and Wilson and the Steam Team comprise the episodes presented here. There are a few additions present in this DVD. Our favorite of these additions have to be the Traintastic Adventures cards and…
Toronto’s Specyal T has just released her C.A.K.E. EP, a five-track effort that will provide listeners with a full array of styles, influences, and sounds upon which to familiarize themselves with this inimitable performer. The EP begins with Stay With Me, an effort that is a down and dirty club track. The deep and sultry sounds issuing forth here are matched well with intelligent wordplay.
This compelling doc about 1980s New Wave great Adam Ant shares such intimacy that you can’t help but think you’re witnessing something that you shouldn’t be watching. Far from the run-of-the-mill musician documentary that spends the first half discussing their childhood, rise to fame and move to obscurity, The Blueblack Hussar focuses almost exclusively on the now as Adam Ant tries to climb his way back up through small club…
In her first stand-up special since becoming one of the most talked up-ed comedians in decades, Amy Schumer delivers an impressive set. Directed by Chris Rock, someone who clearly understands the pressure Schumer felt leading up to this taping, the hour-long special is a tad uneven in spots, but is refreshingly original enough, that the weaker material is easily overlooked thanks to actual laugh out loud moments in the set.
