Description
At Braxton, a garage is more than a garage. It’s a place where we build our hopes and dreams, storing them on the wall neat as garden tools. Really, the garage is a hub. A reliable place from which we launch into the world, and enjoy a safe return.

We hang out in our garages. Saturday mornings, afternoons, long into the night. Sometimes hosting neighbors, family and friends, other times in blissful solitude, tinkering on projects, obsessing over a problem or making something great. Think of the garages in your past. You’ll remember your dad fixing a lawnmower or building a table, where he taught you to say “Yes, sir.” You can almost smell the oil and beer.

But more and more the family garage is an incubator, an enterprise zone. It’s part of the beautiful renaissance happening in the middle of this great country. So it was for Evan Rouse. Evan, from Union, Kentucky, was a pretty extraordinary kid. Because while other kids played video games and started garage bands, Evan fell in love with the craft of brewing beer. And he built a home brewery in the family garage. He was just 16 years old, not even of age.

For Evan, brewing beer was more than an idea, it was a revolution. Because from that humble start, Evan’s love for brewing has become his entrepreneurial obsession. He’s building the brewery of his dreams. And his entire family is on board, helping him get it done. (The truth is, it’s a pretty extraordinary family.)

So welcome to Braxton Brewing Company. You’re witnessing a dream coming to life. A place where ideas are born and fermented. It’s a great deal of work, but hell, that’s what makes a dream worth pursuing. This brewery celebrates determination, knowledge, and the humble pride we wave like a battle flag.

Can for $3 at vintage. No discernible odor. Fairly clear pale bubbly pour. Yes, first taste is bubbly as well but not as much as I was expecting. Decent flavor with certain lime effects. A little dull for a berliner, almost comes across more like a fruit beer. Pretty good sizzle in the middle. Not bad towards the end. Actually can appreciate it more in the finish. A little less than expected for a berliner. Not sure if I can pick out the vanilla or cinnamon. Oh well, next please.

Blue can. Nice clear orangy pour. Typical mild perfumy sweet beer nose. Stronger festy flavors. Yes, very marzenlike. Sweet cloying beery flavor. It feels more like 6+% dude. Gets near bad-ass in the middle, hehehehh. Bitter malt session finish. Difficult to endure at times. Got this for a buck & a half at kroger, walton kentucky. Good deal! However, this has a long way to go to match up with favorites like Climax Hoffmann, Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, Voodoo The James Brown or even Assawoman Bay MD; which are all in the same style. YEAH

Got this can from a krogers in kentucky, you gottah love those mixed sixes of local beers for $9.99!! Pretty pale yellow. Nice head. Not much nose. Taste is a little more ruff than a goldie should be, especially a creamy blond. 4.8 makes it sound easy but its not. Seems more like 5.5, hehehheh. Some processed feel in the middle. Love the description on this tho. Finishes with a rather dull ending. Satisfying in the last drop. Not bad but can be taught some manners.
