47: Pappy’s Dark Ale

I’m not a huge “bourbon barrel aged” fan. I like bourbon, and I like beer, and while I respect the mix, it’s not something I seek out. But a few days before heading down to Corvallis* to visit Block 15 and a few other breweries, I was told to bring growlers, because February is “Bourbon Month.” I’m glad I did. This was tasty. Plenty of bourbon, but the thin body and caramel flavors sync well with the booze.

* Saturday night and Sunday, I was a guest of Corvallis Tourism, who were good enough to put me up for the night in the unpronounceable Salbasgeon Suites and arrange for tours of several breweries, including Block 15. I paid for the growlers, though. ;)
** Growlers are $4 off on Sundays!
