Good to Be Home

Well, after a few hours on the road, it is nice to be able to post on my own couch and enjoy one of the best brews that Georgia has to offer. Today we're headed to Athens to have a Terrapin Rye Pale Ale. Well, just me. And I'm not physically going anywhere.

This american pale ale has so many thing that I like about it. Not too overpowering with any of the flavors and characteristics. It's almost like Goldilocks: not too bitter, not too sweet, not too hoppy, not too malty. And it has a rich golden color. When you take a sip of this beer you are able to really enjoy it, and the aftertaste doesn't linger so that you want to go in for another sip. A few of these around a tailgate with some spicy food or burgers, and you'd be set.

Terrapin has a really intriguing line up of beers; of which many I will feature throughout the year. They are a recent addition to the craft beer world [started in 2002] but from the start they were brewing excellent beer. In fact, with only one beer to their name, they took a Gold Medal home from the Great American Beer Festival. Now that's how you turn some heads. For more info on the GABF you can visit the site [here]. But really the only thing you need to know is that it is "listed as one of the top 1,000 places in the US to visit before you die."

Anyone want to split a hotel?

As you can probably gather, this beer is awesome. And it is really easy to find. If you are in Georgia, Florida, and most of the Southeast you can get this at the large grocery stores like Publix or Kroger. Do yourself a favor and pick up a 6-pack of this one.
