256. Magic Hat Brewing – #9 not quite Pale Ale
I was at Friar Tuck looking for new beers and decided to get a mix-a-six. I was surprised when I saw this beer, as I didn’t realize we got Magic Hat brews here in Illinois yet.

There appeared to be plenty of carbonation...

Additionally, I’ve been thinking about making these review a little easier to read, so let me know what you think about this format. This...
