Joe and Caroline welcome back their good friend Tony to discuss their favorite Summer vacation memories that they had as a child.
What We Are Drinking
Caroline’s Drink:
Downstream Jam – Sour Fruited Gose
Royal Docks Brewing – Canton Ohio
ABV: 4.7%
IBUs: 12
“Downstream Jam is a tart tug-of-war between dark cherry sweetness and the benevolent bacteria lactobacillus. Prickly and floral, tangy with a touch of salt, Downstream Jam is a palatable reminder during these long wintery nights that there was a time when the far off buzz of cicadas played backup to the aroma a fresh mown grass and the sun shone past 5 o’clock. It was summer once. And it will be again.”
Joe’s Drink:
Sam Adams Summer Ale
Sam Adams – Cincinnati, Ohio
ABV: 5.3%
IBUs: 8
“Samuel Adams® Summer Ale is an American wheat ale. This hazy golden unfiltered brew combines crisp wheat with the bright citrus of lemon peel and the subtle spice of Grains of Paradise. This rare African pepper, closely related to cardamom, was first used as a brewing spice in the 13th Century and adds just the right peppery kick. All of these flavors come together to create a thirst quenching and utterly refreshing brew perfect for those warm summer days.”
Tony’s Drink:
Bumble Berry Honey Blueberry Ale
Fat Head Brewing
ABV: 5.3%
IBUs: 13
“Brewed with fresh harvested spring honey, stolen from some very angry bees (we have the welts to prove it) and infused with our own special painstakingly, handpicked blueberry essence. A light refreshing ale with a nice blueberry aroma, crackery malt flavors with a hint of sweetness and a light tart blueberry finish. “Most Refreshing Beer in America” 1st Place – Brewing News Global Warming Open.”
