Thoughts On My First Time Attending CBC...Finally

This is a long overdue piece, but time and life always bring surprises, delays, and all kinds of unexpected curveballs. This being said, I am finally getting time to get caught up and share some of the great happenings over the last few months and the first half of the year. This piece is just that, and a big thanks to the Brewers Association for the recent Craft Brewers Conference that took place in Indianapolis from April 28-May 1st this year.

Getting My Beer On Platform High Brow Barista Beer Review

High Brow Barista from Platform Beer Company is one that I picked up a while ago and drank, but am just getting around to uploading the review. It is not an all-year-round offering but it is not one that I would not mind being so. The beer is a Coffee Rye Pale Ale that uses dried coffee beans in conjunction to the spiced rye and other ingredients. At 6.4% ABV, the beer is not boozy and the coffee and spice provide the nice crisp finish as also advertised on the can. It was very smooth and flavorful, light-bodied, aromatic, and just overall a good beer. I can only hope they bring this one back and if you like, coffee and a spice type kick then I think it is definitely worth a try. Check out the video to see and hear more on this one. In addition, if you have had this one then leave a comment in the comments area on what you thought as well.
