Black Hog Brewing
Impression
Very cool recessed tables. Entire vibe is cool: big barn room with a sassy but professional bartendress and loud but enjoyable music.
Beers Tasted
Beer 1: Hog Lager Pilsner (? abv) A little sweet. Very cold (refreshing!) Not hugely bitter; more like an American Pale Ale. Big malt and foam!
Beer 2: Mo' Honey Mo' Problems Farmhouse Ale (? abv) Nice honey-lemon taste, but not really farmhouse: kinda flat, not big on spice.
Beer 3: Granola Brown Ale (? abv) Big coffee flavor. Good body to start that tapers off to neutral taste on back palate. Clean, very nice finish.
Beer 4: Disco Pig 11.1 BFO (? abv) Wow! Big blueberries, but with a sour taste that is not as tart as one gets at other breweries; this beer relies more on its spice and complexity of flavor.
Beer 5: Pillow Talk IPA (? abv) Blueberry on a wheat-like base. Very nice.
Beer 6: Spruce Tip (? abv) From Kinsman Brewery. Wow! Delicious! Not really piney except at very finish. Nice sour taste on attack and on mid-palate. Refreshing, but maintains full-bodied flavor throughout.
Beer 7: El Hefe Hefeweizen (7.0% abv). Tasted at the Stack / Bear BBQ on 8/28/2019. Very balanced, nice flavors, not too crazy on the banana, though present. Black Hog always seems to come through.
