A very crowded, thirsty bear...
Continuing the San
Francisco Beer Run, I stopped into the Thirsty Bear Brewpub near the Moscone
Convention Center after my conference ended yesterday. And so did everyone
else! The place was packed!
After I elbowed my
way up to the bar, I checked out the beers and ales brewed on premise. There
was a pilsner, a stout, an ESB, a "Blue Moon" type orange wheat beer,
and a golden vanilla ale. Well, that last one sounded interesting - I've never
had that type of beer before.
The Golden Vanilla
was an extremely mild (not bitter) ale, clocking in at only 15 IBUs (point of
reference: Budweiser is 11 IBUs, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is 38 IBUs). The
vanilla taste was present in both the smell and taste of the beer, but not
overpowering or obnoxious.
Ok, I'll say it -
this is a girl beer. Now some girls like a fuller, more complex beer, but not
most girls. But I'd say most girls would probably enjoy this beer.
