This week we’re sampling Pale Horse Brewing from Salem, Oregon. Come get a little taste of the Pacific Northwest from 5:00-7:00 p.m. tomorrow!
Hillbilly Blonde: A crisp, refreshing, light ale suitable for any occasion. Hillbilly is golden blonde in color with a fruity, floral scent; this ale has a light hop profile, allowing the malty flavor to be thoroughly enjoyed. Smooth to the taste and bubbly to the tongue, this highly drinkable ale will satisfy the most discerning of beer lovers, yet finds itself comfortable in quenching the thirst at a backyard barbecue, wetting the palate after a hot afternoon of lawn mowing, or being found in the pint glasses of friends meeting at a local watering hole.
Hopyard Dog IPA: Brewed with a well balanced blend of malts and Cascade hops, Hopyard Dog IPA has an authoritative but pleasant bite. Notes of citrus and vanilla blend well with the malty body and large hop profile of this smooth, satisfying, golden India Pale Ale. Get “RUFF n’ TUFF” yet keep it smooth with Hopyard Dog IPA.
Pale Horse Export Stout: Obsidian in color with deep garnet hues, aroma and flavor carrying hints of coffee and chocolate, Pale Horse Export Stout is a carefully crafted balance between smooth sweetness and smoky hop bitterness. Brewed in the style of great Irish breweries, yet crafted from local ingredients and Yankee ingenuity, this stout is unique and extremely tasty. The perfect choice for the dark beer lover, treat your senses to one today!
Pale Horse Winter Seasonal (Heavy Scotch Ale): A deep lustrous brown with hints of woodsmoke, cedar and dark fruits such as raisins and plums in the aroma, our Winter Seasonal will warm your insides with its 9.5% abv while the outdoors are claimed by winter’s tantrum. This ale is heavy in body and smoky sweet over the tongue, a perfect pairing for strong cheeses and fruit. This is an ale to savor and by the end of bottle, you’ll be feeling the season’s cheer in a jolly big way!
