Roots and Clinton Street Brewing.......

So last night i went to Roots Brewing and to the Clinton Street Brewing. My experience at both was not what i expected. At Roots Brewing i was plesently surprised by the size of the brewery and the selections. They also appear to have a tasty menu that i was unable to try but will definetly be back for more. Tuesdays at Roots brings the night of the 2.50 imperial pint on house brews which is a excellent deal for there innovative concoctions. I tried four of there 6 house brews and they were all delicious.

Pond Turtle Pale Ale 5.3%
Nice example of an English style Pale, light amber in color, light in boidy & makes the perfect session ale.

Burghead Heather Ale 5.4%
Based on a 300 year old recipie, this awardwinning ale may be the most interesting ale you've ever had! Made with no hops but with heather tips. Really one of the best new beers i have had, a great flavor witha smooth after taste.

Woody IPA 6.0%
Not your classis NW IPA, it's Better! Dry Hopped with an abundance of whole magnum hops to get your attention-and hold it. I love IPA so this one was expecially good

Island Red 5.6
We call this a RED stout. Very full bodied complex Ale brewed with a good amount of oats which help give this red a very rich & creamy head.

They have a few other one and always come out with some sesonals that are also very tasty. Be sure to try it out on a tuesday when they have 2.50 imperial pints.
