The Tin Roof Brewing Company is ready to roll out their first selections to draft beer starting tomorrow (Thursday, November 18, 2010), so naturally I got a sneak peak at what is in store for craft beer fans in Baton Rouge. Setting up shop off of Nicholson Drive between LSU and Downtown, Tin Roof is starting with two brews to give us a thirst-quenching taste of local flavors. The Voodoo Bengal Pale Ale is the beer that I'm most excited about. It is a slightly hoppy American pale ale that is brewed with Louisiana's own Steen's Cane Syrup. The beer has an excellent mild fruit nose and a beautiful balance between the malt, hops, and cane syrup taste. For those who may not be as much of a hops enthusiast as I am, the Perfect Tin Amber provides a solid amber style beer with a nice malt presence. Either way, you shouldn't be disappointed!

Many of those featured times and places will also have specials like $3 pints (very good price for such small-batch local craft beer), free jambalaya, and more. Check it out, bring a friend, drink plenty, and support a new Baton Rouge business! CHEERS!

ReplyDeleteNiche bar and grill, another new local business, is hosting a five course beer tasting with a pint of tin roof with each course in early December. You should probably check it out.
