Sacramento Trip - BrewPub 3

What's up all,

Well the 3rd and final BrewPub I went to was the Hoppy Brewing Company. Of the three Brew Pubs I went to this was right in the middle in terms of the beer. I liked most of them but there were only a few i really liked. I also had a really good Jerk Chicken Sandwich on Ciabatta bread.

My favorite beers here are:

1. Hoppy Face Amber Ale - This was a really good amber ale with a great hoppy flavor. There was also a good balance between malt and hops but the hops were definitely what made this beer.

2. Stony Face Red Ale - This is normally not what I like in a beer and it basically the exact opposite of the Hoppy Face. It had a great malt flavor but there was also very good balance between the hops and the malt. I feel the malt maded this beer really good. It used both a dark roast malt and a chocolate flavored malt.

3. Heff-a's-weizen - There wasn't anything special about this beer but it was a very nice classic hefeweizen beer.

4. Hoppy Face/Stony Face mix - The bartender mixed these 2 at a 50/50 split and told me to try it. Let me tell you it worked. It was the perfect balance between malt and hops.

I highly recommend that you try this place if you are ever in Sac. It has a great atmosphere, good food and good beer.

As you can see I had a pretty good trip to Cali's capitol. Always remember if you are ever in a new place try the local Brew Pub scene you won't be sorry.

Peace Out!!
