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.
