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 thanks to pepsi! Pours crystal clear burnt orange - odd color for a mild. Small beige head, dissipates quickly, some lacing. Aroma is hay, caramel, grass, nutty. Flavor is light plus sweet, caramel, grass, light bitter, nutty. Medium body, somewhat acidic. Pretty complex for 2.6%!

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a slightly muddy brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light toffee, caramel malt notes. Some raisin. Sweetness, some booze. Very smooth though. Toffee. Enjoyable.

Decent barley wine. Not too syrupy for style, and well-balanced and drinkable. Pours cloudy brown with ok head and lacing. Some sweetness in finish, and lightly floral with some raisins. Kind of halfway between a barley wine and a Belgian strong. Tap at Churchkey.

Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours black with a slight tan head. Aromas of toasty dark malt, chocolate and perhaps a touch of coffee. It’s a very pleasing aroma. Full bodied. Very. Lots of dark malt/ treacle/chocolate and arguably some coffee. Not getting any heat. Like it.
