As part of American Craft Beer Week, I tasted two from the Sacramento brewer, Rubicon.
First up was Monkey Knife Fight Pale Ale. Now usually, I am not impressed by Pale Ales. To me they all tend to blur together. This one stands above the masses. Has a slight spice taste and not too hoppy.
Second was the Purple. A helles-maibock. It’s a good solid beer but not very bold. This would be better served with food. Something spicy like good kung pao chicken.
Where can one purchase Monkey Knife Fight??
Blue Palms has it at times otherwise you need to head to Sacramento.
