Brewing it Forward...

I officially submitted a Maibock, oh so cleverly named "Who's Bock?," to LoneRider today for their Brew It Forward homebrew competition. This is an awesome event put on by the LoneRider fellas to showcase local homebrewers. The winner gets to brew their beer on the system and keep some of the profits! Come on out to LoneRider March 27 to cheer me on and have some brew. You can register at the link above.

While I was there I had to saddle up and have a brew. I chose Peacemaker, a west coast style Pale Ale. If you are out and about and see this beer, definitely give it a try. Warning: If you don't like hoppy beers leave this one be and go for another LoneRider offering. As far as Pale Ales go, this is one of the best I've had. Great hoppy nose (smells like grapefruit) and smooth finish. Its got just the right amount of pale malt to back up all that hoppy goodness and comes in at 5.7% abv. Perfect as a session beer.

You know what else makes Peacemaker a great beer? Its local, which means it is fresh. I had it in the same building where it was brewed! You just can't beat beer from the source.
