Every so often along my travels a brewery opens up during non-business hours just for me.  During this trip, the brewer at Cahaba Brewing Company in Birmingham, Alabama opened up just for me so I could taste their beer.  He also stopped his work for a while and spoke with me about the beers and the company and their plans.  What a great time.  Then I tried the beers.  The Oka Uba IPA was great to drink, not too hoppy and easy to enjoy.  I also tried the India Pale Lager.  That’s the first of it’s kind I’ve ever had.  It was full-bodied; heavier than ale.  Very good.  And finally I tried the Fraxinus Maximus Double IPA which was crisp, strong and rich.  A big shout out to Cahaba Brewing Company for letting me stop by during non-business hours.
