Description
Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project began on a shoestring budget in 2008. We exist to allow 20 year professional brewer Dann Paquette to make an honest living while giving his imagination free reign. We brew our beers in other people's breweries because we can't afford our own. We enjoy the up-at-dawn lifestyle and the freedom to brew beers of our own imagining. We brew all our beers ourselves: Dann brews and formulates, Martha mills in. We dream up our beers together, inspired by Europe, by history, and by BEER and all it can be. We are based in Somerville, but brew mostly in Westport, MA, hence the early mornings. Cheers!

Bottle at tasting. Soft aroma of chocolate and brown malt. Taste of mocca, chocolate, hazelnut and creamy yeast. Decent brown ale, drinkable, but a bit boring.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours brown with a creamy beige/tan head. Aroma of sweetish darkish malt with notes of darkish fruits. Med + body. Flavor is sweetish slightly roasty malt with fruits suggesting raisins and plums. Far from dry, far from bitter. Pretty decent beer for a malty experience.

On tap at the Brick Store. Hazy yellow, with a thin, grey ring. Nice citrusy nose, cardamom, pine, and syrup. Sweet and grainy, with a fair bitterness. Light to medium body, fairly crisp, and syrupy. This is a nice, hoppy, but balanced saison. Not bad!
