September Brewery # 2 – Throwback Brewing


New Hampshire doesn’t have the same hops and malts growing area that the Pacific NW does but that isn’t stopping the optimistic folks at Throwback who are trying to push for their own “beer-oir”

The beers that struck my fancy are the Maple Kissed Wheat Porter which “is a medium-bodied porter that tastes amazingly smooth and velvety. The rich and creamy mouthfeel is a result of the wheat used in the brewing process. Local maple syrup gives this beer just a hint of palate-pleasing sweetness as well as a nice depth of flavor.

We call this beer “maple-kissed” because we use just the right balance of maple syrup to impart a delicious flavor without the beer becoming sweet.”

There is also the Spicy Bohemian a “pilsener and “dry-hopped” it with roasted jalapenos. The result is a well-balanced beer with a very intoxicating peppery-type aroma, great jalapeno flavor, and just a bit of lingering heat. This beer pairs extremely well with any type of Mexican food, as well as many types of hard cheese.”
