Thanks to all who came out to last night’s Thirsty Bear 15th anniversary celebration; a great crowd, great food, and of course great beer. On tap for the first time was the brewpub’s single release Imperial Red Ale, which you may remember was brewed with the help of the Hapa’s crew.
15th Anniversary Ale: now on tap!
Naturally, our first (and second, and third) pint was the beer we helped make and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. The beer was very fresh smelling with nice piney and grassy hop notes. Sweetness from the 1,100 pounds of malt and added Belgian Candi Syrup and Turbinado Sugar hit the tongue followed by clean hop bitterness that perfectly balanced the beer. The finish was dry, as expected, and slightly warming from the 9.7% ABV. This one won’t last long so be sure to make your way to Thirsty Bear before it’s gone!
Get it while it lasts
A special shout out to Thirsty Bear GM Tim Mullins and Brewmaster Brenden Dobel for hosting an awesome party!
