Description
Right Brain Brewery is nestled in the SoFo District of downtown Traverse City, Michigan. Our focus is on creating artisanally made, one-of-a-kind culinary inspired brews. If you taste something in our beers, like asparagus, cherry pies, or real pig, it's because we put it there using only whole natural ingredients; after all... extracts are for sissies.

Right Brain brews can be found throughout the state of Michigan in cans, bottles, kegs, and on draft. However we're not just beer lovers, we're art lovers too. We're advocates for anything creative, innovative, or odd. We Keep Beer Curious.

Mild Peppermint Patty nose in the glass. But then some kind of lactic stuff. Brown to black body under a brief, fizzy head.
Taste is kind of sickly, I'm afraid. Can't tell the date from the stamp, but this is likely kind of old. And my experience with mint in beer is that it does not hold out too well.

12 oz can. Pours black with a tan head. Creamy roasty coffee aroma. Flavor is quite roasty and bitter, but still creamy and smooth. Not bad at all.

On tap at Right Brain. Pours a murky brown with a white head. Low aroma of peanut and chili pepper. Flavor is strong on the peanut, with some toasty malt and chili pepper that leaves a mild but lingering burn. It's tasty but the strength of the peanut makes it a bit too one-note for me.
