A Bretter Day- Biere De Mars Ale: Two Brothers Brewing Company
The Two Brothers Brewing Company is a family-run microbrewery
Now I’ve sampled my fair share of craft beer man & boy, this is one of the best Summer Artisinals I’ve had the pleasure to drink! She poured clear yellow amber with a lacey white head. The scent is belgianie, maybe a dry Resling with hints of peaches and fresh cut grass. The taste between Belgian twang and sweet malt. Smooth earthy finish I missed when it was gone. Mouthfeel is light with good carbonation. Seek it out. Get him a case! Get ME a case! Your Beer Snob Geek Dad will love you for it! Check thier site for local distribution in your area!
