With my reinvigorated taste for beer due to the Rock Bock from Rock 108 and Millstream Brewing, I cracked another this week!
Crazy Fingers APA from Wild Onion Brewing in Lake Barrington, IL not only has great can art, but is a REALLY enjoyable American Pale. As you can see by the pic, a thick white head that retains FOREVER and gives a mild but wonderfully malt nose with just a hint of green hop. Mosaic hops are more mild than many other popular bittering hops, which is why it works well as an American dry hoppped pale. A great hazy orange color with a very smooth and crisp low alcohol juicy flavor with very little bitter, yet has a lightly dry finish. Bread crust or cracker on the back of the tongue. I so enjoyed this that I wish Beerbos had sent two!
Wild Onion is also a cool, family owned brewery that has a great story. They seem to have such a passion for brewing beer that they have several different brews that are seasonal and a few staples that are year round. They are constantly expanding as well. I’d love to visit the Onion Pub and brewery someday.
Peace Tree Brewing is having “Brews And Muse 2021” coming October 2 in Knoxville, IA. Small town vibe with lots of culture and craft beer. This brewery is one of my favorites in the stats. I love their Red Rambler, Blonde Fatale and Cold Brew Coffee Stout, though I’ve never tried anything of theirs I didn’t like. These are just the stand-outs for me.
This should be a good time for all. Saturday, October 2 should be a perfect day, weather permitting. Beginning of Fall weather, pleasant temps, food trucks, music and plenty of beer. Presale tickets can be ordered now through this page: Brews And Muse 2021
