Description
6 Bears & a Goat Brewing Co., LLC (6B&G) is named after its founders (and the mascots of their respective military services). The six Bears are 20-year retirees from the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Goat is a retiree from the U.S. Navy. Collectively, the 6 Bears & a Goat have served their country for over 140 years. While we are very serious about brewing beer, we want to have fun doing it, and our name is indicative of that…it is also indicative of the good-natured rivalry between the Navy and our Nation’s oldest continuous seagoing service, the United States Coast Guard.

American Pale Ale from 6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company

4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 1 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Draft: No aroma. Hazy golden, thin head. Tinny grass. Medium body, soft carbonation. Very mild flavor profile. This was one of the brewery’s early offerings. I’m sure they will get better. and I plan to revisit. For now, the beers are far too mild.
