Matt Krogstad (seen at right as Gene Frenkel) swung through Allentown on his East Coast adventure and good times were had by all. I mention his visit here because if we and Krog are hanging out, there's going to be good beer close by. And damn, was there ever.
Here's the greatest hits of his visit:
Great Divide's Hades Ale - An awesome, yet American-made Belgian pale ale. American brewers usually seem to go too heavy on the added sugar and lose the subtlties, but this beer rocks.
Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale - Find this limited release IPA while you can. It's got a great hop complexity (grapefruit, apricot, orange) but without a killer bitterness. Easy to drink and tasty.
Allentown Brew Works' Pigtail Ale - A slightly bolder take on the English ESB (extra special bitter) style. The malt profile hits some great caramel and toffee flavors and is topped off by a bit of citrus hops.
