New Magnolia Brewing Company

 

 

 

A brand new brewery, and I'm giving them a bit of slack. Hopefully they can fine tune some things. Inside is a big open warehouse with plenty of seating and a patio in the back. This seems like a place that would be very loud, but the music is quiet and they seem to have good sound dampening. It looks like service is still training, with an older couple that is running everything. Though they still need to figure out the POS system and how to pour beer better. No worries, they are sweat as can be.

They do low ABV and subtle styles, and some are hard to find around. Like a Grodziskie. Which had the typical hefe flavors, but really light and then all BBQ smoke...this might be the best beer they make right now if going by the style, just not to my tastes. The Pils is buttery diacetyl, and think I was tasting DMS in some other beers (a cooked corn/veggie, sometimes comes off as Sulfur flavor). The session porter is good, but not nearly up to Holler's Pub Crusher level. I love the styles they are doing as it is not the over hyped NEIPA's/murky beers, or the overly sweet pastry stouts all the new guys want to do. Though I'm definitely getting off flavors so far. If they can clean those up I'll gladly give an update and can see this being another great addition to the neighborhood.
