Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

At the end of my last blog, I said I was going to pick up a 4-Pack of Tank 7 to try a highly recommended brew and hope for a good comeback after the last disappointing 6-Pack. Well, I did not get a 4-Pack as I originally stated. Instead, I found a single 750mL Smokestack Bottle and picked it up for a taste that was simply wonderful.

Another week, another 6-pack. Well, more like a 5-pack considering the 6th bottle was O'Fallon's Black Hemp which I talked about last time. I enjoyed it enough to pick up another bottle in place of something new. So that left me with 5 new beers to sample; 4 Domestic and 1 International.

I finally visited our local Macadoodles for the first time to check out their beer selection and I must say I was impressed. They had a very big selection of Craft Beers from around the world (as well as a huge selection of wines). But what was even better to me was the fact that they had a "build your own" 6 pack. So, I spent some time looking over what they had and selected 6 beers I hadn't tried before.

Mother's Brewing Company

Every journey has it's beginnings. For me, that was with the Mother's Brewing Company in Springfield, Missouri.

My Brother-In-Law had invited me to take a tour of a new brewery that had just opened up in Downtown Springfield and it sounded like fun. I enjoyed a good beer every now and again. What I didn't realize was just how eye opening of an experience it was going to be. Before visiting the brewery, I had never experienced the fullness of what a beer could actually be.

That was almost a year ago now. Hard to believe. Mother's hold a special place in my heart, and my fridge, since they are the brewery who pulled me in. It's hard to put a finger on which of their selections is my favorite as they are all so unique and different.
