64. Flatbranch Pub & Brewery – English Pale Ale Draft
It’s still Friday night, and we’re on our third stop of the night. This time, it’s Flatbranch Pub and Brewery, a brewpub in Columbia, MO. If you ever find yourself at Mizzou, I highly recommend having a meal and drinks here. The Chokes and Cheese dips is awesome, and it’s even better when it’s on their Flatbranch burger. However, tonight, there was no meal, only beer with fraternity brothers. Along...
62. St. Louis Brewery Schlafly – American Pale Ale APA Draft
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m back in my old college town of Columbia, MO for a golf tournament with fraternity brothers. Our first stop in town was one of our favorite burger joints from when we lived there – Booches. Their burgers were named one of the top ten burgers in America by USA Today in 2000. Despite being small burgers – I ordered 4 with my beer – they are incredibly tasty. If you’re...
59. Sierra Nevada Brewing – Pale Ale
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately (and no, it has absolutely no connection to last night’s episode of Glee) and I was really in the mood for a top-notch beer. So, tonight I grabbed the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which I had been waiting to drink. The bottle says “Sierra Nevada pale ale is a completely natural ale. There are no additives, only the finest malted barley, whole hops, brewer’s yeast, and crystal clear...
56. Founders Brewing – Dry Hopped Pale Ale
We finished car shopping for the day, and I decided to grab another hoppy beer before heading to dinner. I wanted something that had a good hop flavor, but not necessarily a higher alcohol IPA. I grabbed the Founders Dry Hopped Pale Ale out of the fridge. The label says that it has 35 IBUs and is 5.4% ABV. When I poured the beer, ,it had a pretty large soapy head, which fell slowly, but left some nice lacing on the glass (as you...
19. Faultline Brewing Co. – Pale Ale Draft
After the first couple of beers I had, I wasn’t too impressed with Faultline Brewing Company’s beer. I will say that my dinner was very good, except the scallops were a little over cooked. I wasn’t planning to order another beer, but the others I was with decided we’d stick around for a bit and relax after the long day we’ve had – 4 hour flight, 2 hours in the car, 2 hour video shoot, 2 more hours...
11. BJ’s Brewhouse McAllen, TX – Piranha Pale Ale Draft
Today we’re in La Joya and McAllen, TX and on our way back from our video shoot, we were ready to relax, have some lunch and a beer. On our way back to the hotel we passed BJ’s Brewhouse in McAllen. We circled around and headed there. When I go to a new brewpub, normally I like to try something unique. However, like most chain brewpubs, the beer menu was pretty safe… so in that case, I usually try the Pale Ale,...
