About
During the dawn of micro-brewing in the Bay Area Roger Lind started Lind Brewing Company, which would later become Drake's Brewing. Lind was a brewer at Triple Rock in Berkeley, one of the first brewpubs in America, and set off on his own to brew draft-only English-style ales. In 1998 Roger Lind sold the brewery to a local coffee company, which continued to brew Drake's beer. A new era started in 2008 John Martin and Roy Kirkorian, purchased the brewery. Over the ensuing 10 years, they've expanded brewing capacity, distribution, and started producing West Coast style ales using an abundance of high quality hops and malt. A new 60-barrel brewhouse and fermentation tanks to match, boosted our brewing capacity, ensuring more people could find and enjoy Drake's beer was opened in 2016.

12 Oz can at Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is big malt, citrus fruits and alcohol. The flavour is over moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, juicy citrus, warm alcohol, big hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average carbonation. A solid, well balanced DIPA.

Very, very chocolatey to balance out the bourbon. Very different BBA stout but delicious.
