Thirsty Thursday

The Hungry People have decided to institute a wonderful weekly ritual that you may know and love: Thirsty Thursdays. We stopped by Ale Yeah! to pick up a couple of growlers. Our first pick was Ode To Mercy, an imperial brown ale by Wild Heaven Craft Beers. This ale was bold and flavorful, but maybe a little acidic. Tastes of oak, coffee, and roasted malt.

We filled the second growler with The Reverend, a Belgian Quadrupel Ale made by Avery Brewery out of Boulder, CO. This beer is packed with imported Belgian malts and dark candy sugar. It's got "hints of dark cherries, currants, and molasses, complimented by an underlying spiciness." Thank you, Avery Brewery Website, for summarizing that so well.

Two growlers is clearly not enough for All the Hungry People who live in this apartment, so we also picked up a make-your-own six pack (the best kind of six pack). The two clear note-worthy beers from this pack were Crown Valley Big Bison Ale and Hitachino Red Rice Ale. Both were amazing and delicious! Big Bison tasted strongly of raisins; more dessert-like than it is refreshing. The Red Rice Ale has a sake like flavor with a little strawberry thrown in. Yum!

Stay tuned, Hungry Friends, there's more to come!
