Roaring Table (2022)

Trying the Kölsch this afternoon -- quite nice.

Of interest, I had the Kölsch, Keller, and Helles at RT the other night. All very similar ingredients and characters in their styles. I have to say that I was impressed at how RT has brewed them all to be unique (and tasty) in their own rights. Prosit! to the RT gang.

And FWIW: my friend is so enamored with the brewery that he splurged and bought a 4-pack of each available style to take home. When he told me he was going to "buy the menu" I thought he was joking -- not at all. Guy at the bar cheered him, he told him, "This ought'a get me through the weekend."

And I still haven't tried their IPAs... but the Beth Saison was very good.

 

I'll keep an eye out, but RT has my full attention with their German and Czech-style beers right now.

 

@Number1Framer -- you enjoying a Helles or Keller at RT?

 

@Number1Framer -- is the "rustic lager" you're referring to the Holiday Romance?

I took a chance with a 4-pack of that one and enjoyed the first can. I equate it to a German Pale Ale -- with the right blend of German-style hops without going overboard.

And FWIW, I took a chance on the older Kolsch cans and they've held up well.

Glad your adventure was a success!

 

Any idea if it's following a certain style?

RT also brewed a collab with Mikerphone, but I haven't heard what it is.

 

Hurt me on both counts.

 

Okay, I admit I'm a fan-boy for RT, but I'm also a fair judge and wouldn't rave unless I thought their beers were good (to my assessment -- which is most often a to-style judgment).

To which, I reviewed style guides for the Kolsch-style beer before I focused on RT's rendition and... man, did they nail this beer.

What a really nice, pour it down and say, "Aaaahhh." Beer.

Good on ya RT, Prosit!

 

On the lookout.

 

4.5 -- local Binny's didn't have any of the new 3 yet, but they're expecting them this week.

 

A day early and a dollar heavy.
