Description
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.

375ml bottle from Tavour. Opaque jet black pour. No head, just a scant tan ring around the interior of my glass. Big aromas of dark coffee, dark roasted malt and whiskey. First sip is bittersweet chocolate and espresso, quickly followed by the sensation of warming alcohol. Smooth and viscous mouthfeel. There is an underlying note of bitter espresso that lingers on the back of the tongue. This is a complex and somewhat intense brew, yet it is quite enjoyable if I do say so. Earthy, yet balanced. Yum!

0.355l can from Beer Republic. Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, herbs, honey and pine. Pours cloudy dark golden color with medium sized soapy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and herbal, following is grainy, mild tropical fruity and floral, mouthfeel is smooth but crisp, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. 1500 reasons for another one…
