The 10 Best Beers for Tech Geeks

May 29, 2011 under Beer Blog

Are you a bit of a geek and a beer lover?

You may like this list from Bachelors Degree Online:

  1. Mikkeler Beer Geek Brunch (Weasel): Tech geeks who love civet coffee will appreciate this beer brewed with the very same coffee. Civets, or weasel-like cats, eat (and dispose of) only the best coffee berries, which are used in Beer Geek Brunch to create a strong taste and aroma in this oatmeal stout with a coffee punch.
  2. BrewDog Tokyo: Known for their adventurous beers, BrewDog’s Tokyo is inspired by video games, specifically, an 80s space invaders arcade game played in Tokyo. It’s known as an “intergalactic fantastic” oak aged stout.
  3. Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout: If you love espresso, drink this beer to keep you alert, yet pleasantly relaxed during a late night that extends into the morning.
  4. New England Imperial Stout Trooper: Inspired by the Dark Side of Star Wars, this imperial stout bears an Imperial Trooper on its label that is sure to catch the eye of Star Wars geeks. It’s available in the original form, as well as Cherry Vanilla and barrel aged versions.
  5. BrewDog Dogma: Geeks who enjoy guarana for energy will appreciate BrewDog’s Dogma, which offers not only guarana, but also honey, poppy, and kola nut.
