I am only in a patriotic USA mood due to soccer. Womens World Cup and Gold Cup is all I can root for, I wouldn’t cross a one lane street to even slap one of the too many old white male politicians McConnelling in DC currently.
Rant over, time to focus on a brewery with patriotic ties starting with…
My initial tasting tray from Talea, a New York based brewery would include…
Sun Up Hazy IPA – ” MEGA PINEAPPLE with notes of overripe lemon drop and freshly picked berries. Hints of vanilla bean, fluffy marshmallow, and passion fruit slurpy thanks to a touch of oats & lactose.”
Bravada Brut IPA – ” orange peel, lychee, gooseberry jam, spice”
Lunch Date Pale Ale – ” Aroma of candied orange, lemon meringue, and tangerine. Flavor notes of overripe lemon and grapefruit zest”
Why is this patriotic? LeAnn Darland, co-founder is an alum of the Naval Academy and the other co-founder Tara Hankinson works with the Veterans in Residence program and supply Naval ships for “beer day” when they return to port.
