I stopped in at Nine Band Brewing Company in Allen, Texas. i had heard about this place last night at Lockhart Smokehouse. Lockhart Red Ale is brewed by Nine Band Brewing. I also learned later this evening that the beers featured at Two Row Grill are also brewed by Nine Band Brewing. The most unique beer i had tonight was the Candy Corn Scream Ale. This is a cream ale, which can often be sweet, with extra sweetness and flavor of candy corn. It was pretty sweet but also tasty.
I stopped in at Legal Draft Beer Company in Arlington, Texas. I enjoyed a great flight of beers. Nowhere But Texas is a solid lager. Easy drinking. Smash and Grab is a solid IPA and Hazeas Corpus is a solid Hazy IPA. Amicus is a really nice Mosaic IPA. Old Fashioned Justice is a barrel aged IPA. I’ve had a lot of barrel aged beers. Yeah, this one is special. Really special. Tartfeasor is a nice Berliner Weisse. Tart. Crisp. Clean. Backberry Tart is a really nice Radler with juice and beer – reminds me of the Radler in Munich. Summer Recess is a Grapefruit Shandy – also gives me the Radler feel – yum – makes me want to cycle 20 miles and come back for more. Lawktoberfest is a vey smooth malty Oktoberfest – would be great with pretzels – etc. Legal Holiday is a dark spiced ale and feels right for cooler evenings. Exhibit M is even richer and a nice dessert replacement. Yummy Imperial Stout.
