Photos from Kelso Brewery Tasting

Saturday March 31st, at the specialty food and beer store Eastern District in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Kelso Brewery owners Kelly Taylor, Sonya Giacobbe, and their manager Jess spread the good word about four of their beers now available at E.D.

 Review (based on tasting):
1. IPA aged in Cab Sav. barrel : Gorgeous. Highly recommended sipping would give the Easter Bunny a hop in his step.

2. Rauchbier (smokey lager) : A fine beer if you enjoy consuming things that are smoked.

3. Industrial IPA : A terrifying poet of a beer who would steal your lunch money and use it to buy flowers for your girlfriend. Highly recommended--to be shared!

4. Pilsner: Very agreeable, pleasant light beer. Although Kelso pushes the envelope with flavor generation in its other beers, this one implies an adherence to Germany's Purity Law...

Kelso staffer Jess gave info about the beers on hand, other Kelso ventures, and brewing basics. The best beers are made by companies with a sense of adventure and humor (in addition to mastery of brewing and use of top-grade ingredients). If Kelso is not available in your neighborhood, be sure to take a subway, bus, or airplane as needed....
