“Experimental Drinking”
Summer time is about taking chances. You know, really going crazy and trying new things. Like running naked through a field of daisies, Lion taming in the wilderness, swimming with sharks…….OR…drinking a beer that’s been brewed with hot peppers. Of all those crazy things, take a guess which one we did! — ok so maayybbee Brian ran through a field of daisies naked but that’s a whole other post.
Our friends at ROGUE (Portland, OR) brewed a CHIPOTLE ALE that we just had to try at least once.
The beer is a dark red in color when you pour it into a glass and when you bring it up to your face you can actually smell the roasted chipotle peppers and (wait for it) jalapenos. We were trying it with some Mexican food and that was definitely the right food pairing. It’s good, it’s just a little difficult to get used to. It actually tastes exactly like what you think it would taste like, a roasted, salsa(y) flavor. We don’t know what else to say…..the name doesn’t lie.
Overall — we don’t think we’d drink more than one, but it’s definitely worth checking out! We can honestly say it’s the best Chipotle beer we’ve EVER had.
