I stopped in at Wildlife Brewing in Victor, Idaho for lunch and a quick beer.  I wish I had tried the pizza but I went with the sesame chicken salad and was not disappointed.  I hav heard their pizza is excellent.  I tried the Bear Claw Black Ale which wasn’t hoppy enough to be a black IPA and wasn’t heavy enough to be a porter.  It had great flavor and went well with the salad.

I stopped in at the Drake’s Brewing Company Barrel House back in June of 2013.  Unfortunately, I’m not sure what beer I enjoyed at that time.  However, Drake’s recently brought several of their beers to a conference social event and I enjoyed a few of them.  The first one I tried was the Denogginizer Imperial IPA.  This is a bold, hoppy and malty beer that really packs a punch.  The next one I tried is the Jolly Rodger Imperial American Black Ale.  This was both smooth and crisp.  And, finally, I tried the Drakonic Imperial Stout which was smooth and creamy with a flavor of coffee and chocolate.  A great way to end the evening.
