I got to try Martin House Brewing’s Buffalo Wangz and Ranch dipping sauce beers this weekend. Martin House has always been that brewery in the metroplex who will try anything and everything when it comes to brewing different styles of beers. Obviously the sour pickle beer has been a huge success for them. Call me shameless but I’ll try anything once and am open to experimentation when it comes to brewing exotic beers. Before I get to the beers, I’d like to first compliment Martin House on the appreciation they have for their customers. They released a handful of new beers on Friday last week at 12:00 noon. I was there at about 11:30 and there was a small line already gathered. Martin House employees were walking around greeting everyone, handing out breakfast tacos and also a free beer to those in line. To me this goes above and beyond appreciation to their customers, especially considering that we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Big Kudos to Martin House.
As far as the new beers go, the Buffalo Wangz beer pours a dark orange color with little to no head. It starts with a bite that tastes like you just poured Frank’s Red Hot sauce in their Salty Lady gose. It’s a good beer if you like Buffalo wings and the spice that comes with it. It’s not overly spicy but does have a kick and is definitely a sipping beer. They succeeded at making the beer taste like buffalo wings.
The Ranch dipping sauce is a bit creamy and salty, pours with some head and tastes just like Hidden Valley Ranch poured into their Salty Lady gose. It’s an odd mix to say the least. I wasn’t a fan of this beer but like my friend explained “I don’t know what you expected, the name is literally Ranch dipping sauce. Sounds like they nailed it”. And I would agree with what he’s saying, just not a good mix in a beer in my opinion. I still have more of these beers and I will mix these beers together next time I try them. Cheers.
