Stubborn

I have been fortunate enough to have visited both Moksa in Sacramento and Living Haus in Portland and readers of this blog know my love of a cocktail so this beer piqued my taste buds…

š–¬oksa š–¬ule – Sour ale w/ Lime & Fresh Ginger

“This third iteration of this collab, which follows our favorite Portland brewer as heā€™s moved around the city, is now a collab with Living Haus brewing in Portland. The recipe hasnā€™t changed much over the years, though. This beerā€™s always been about a clean base with bright, fresh lime juice, and an infusion of 25lbs of hand-diced fresh ginger for just a bit of an earthy kick. Mint garnish optional.”

City Beer Store – Review 1 of 4

Time for another round of which beer is the best! I have four beers to review over the course of this month that I purchased from City Beer Store in San Francisco. (You can subtract the mead, that I will review separately.)

I start with Kentucky Mule from Firestone Walker. Bourbon barrel + ginger + lime peel all at 11.8% ABV. The aroma is bourbon trailed by lime. This is a very viscous beer. Big mouthfeel here. The bourbon barrel is lead guitar with lime following as bass. And if you wait, there is the heat of ginger. As the beer warms up, the bourbon and ginger take over strongly with a brown sugar note piping up. This is a strong one, a sipper for sure but damn tasty for ginger fans.
