\"Belching<\/a>
Belching Beaver Brewery Tavern & Grill’s Peaches Be Crazy pale ale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>It took me a while to get up to Belching Beaver Brewery Tavern & Grill<\/strong><\/a>, but the delay served me well in that, by the time I came in, a good number of beers from Thomas Peters<\/strong> (BB’s director of quality assurance and master of the brewpub’s 10-barrel system) were up for grabs. Peters’ goal is to brew one-offs that are both traditional and unique. On the to-style front, a Helles is everything one would want from that refreshing Germanic lager. But I was most taken with Belching Beaver Peaches Be Crazy<\/strong>, a 5.2% alcohol-by-volume pale ale brewed with copious amounts of peach pur\u00e9e and Galaxy hops. After coming in from our current heat-wave, this beer welcomed me and downed my core-temp in the most refreshing and delicious manner possible. It also did a nice job washing down the Tavern’s fair-like fried squash and andouille corn-dog appetizers. Next up on Peters’ brew schedule are an Ameican IPA brewed for the Deftones, a sour Belgian-style wit with hibiscus, rose-hips and chamomile, and the Pilsner recipe from West Coaster<\/strong><\/em><\/a> columnist Ryan Reschan<\/strong> that just took gold at this year’s National Homebrew Competition<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>“Peaches Be Crazy is an easy-drinking pale ale brewed for the hot summer months. The goal was to complement the big stone fruit qualities of Australian Galaxy hops with the bright flavors of pur\u00e9ed peaches. I used a very soft water profile to keep the beer clean with a crisp finish. The peach flavor is enough to balance the flavor of the hops and does not overwhelm, making this beer very drinkable and a perfect sipper for our outdoor patio at the Tavern.”\u2014Thomas Peters, Director of Quality Assurance, Belching Beaver Brewery<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
