I’m a little behind on posting stuff by a few weeks ago my boyfriend and I went to New York City for a long weekend. While there we got to enjoy a lot of different food and drinks, as one does in New York.
One that stood out to me was Five Boroughs Brewing Co. Summer Ale. Naturally I had to try it because not only was it local; out of Brooklyn New York, but the name was Summer Ale; perfect for the weekend that was starting off my summer!
Now let me tell you this beer was so good I ended up ordering two of the same one. The place we went also had an ipa on tap but as you’ve probably come to find out I don’t do ipas so I stuck with this beaut. It had the perfect light summery taste you would expect in its namesake.
I was instantly drawn to the can because it really embodied the spirit of the season and was simple yet beautiful.
After looking at the website I found that unfortunately this summer ale is a seasonal offering; which I should’ve guessed, but is also only available in one of their taproom locations and a few select restaurants and possibly stores. So sadly I probably will not be able to try this beer again unless I go back to New York and hunt it down.
However I am happy I got to try it. This was the first beer I’ve had in awhile that was completely new in the fact that I hadn’t had any of their other beers before or even really heard of the brewery. So for me that was exciting because that doesn’t happen that often anymore now that I literally drink beer all the time now and brewery hop all over.
So if you happen to stop this on a menu anywhere or see it in a store send it my way! Jk but definitely give it a taste if you’re in the mood for something refreshing.
