Dogtoberfest by the Flying Dog Brewery has it going on. The malt, hops balance is right where it should be for a Marzen, on the malt side! I checked out the brewery website and found that the lightest malt the beer uses is Vienna. No larger or light ale malt in the mix. They are all German, as are the hops. It shows. The beer is dry, but not annoyingly so. It just rocks. OK, so it is a little dark for this type of beer. Sue them. But be sure to share with me the beer you buy if you win your legal action. And get lots of this beer. Sadly, it is a seasonal.
This sounds like all the micro brews I was forced to endure in the eighties. There was this joint called the Brewery in Soho on Thompson Street which was just about the first of it's kind in New York. We had to go there a bunch of Friday nights and I just didn't see the reason.
ReplyDeleteWell other than it was a big pick up spot.
Around 1982 or 1983 I was working at this accounting firm and one of our clients was a hot shot law firm in downtown Brooklyn. They referred this little company that wanted to start up brewing their own beer as our client. My boss didn't want to be bothered going to Williamsburg.
ReplyDeleteIt was the Brooklyn Brewery. One of the biggest ones around now. What a maroon!!
What a COMPLETE maroon! Brooklyn Brewery is indeed a most happening craft brewer, and they make great beer. Ah well, you can't pick em all.
