Red Rocks
Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

 

 

 

A solid Red Ale, nothing too special but quality in the overall style and taste.

 

 

 

 

 

This is very similar to the Fire Chief ale, but it's available year-round. Ask for it cask-conditioned, and if you get lucky and it happens to be one of the couple that are currently on cask, then you'll bump this rating up another few points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to the Rock Bottom in Cincinnati, though because it's a chain I am going to assume the beers carry over the same. I ordered a flight of six of their standard beers and as I tried each one I found that each was spot on to the style. The remarkable thing is how unremarkable the beers are. Don't get me wrong, they are well worth the try and certainly above average but they are produced for a mass market. So as lazy as it may be I am going to simply say that this beer was a text book example of the style without breaking out and setting itself above.
