Normally I would review each beer individually, but since I tried them all in a sampler, I figured I’d pass along the review in the same fashion. Now for those of you who don’t know where or what the f#*k Brewbakers is, don’t feel bad…… In fact feel good that you haven’t spent any considerable time in Visalia, CA. Now, for a brewery in the middle of nowhere, I was rather impressed. They had six beers on tap and 3 homemade sodas. Now being the father of frugality, I noticed that a pint of beer was $4 or I could get the sampler paddle ( Not platter, PADDLE!) with 5oz samples of all 6 beers and all 3 sodas for only $6. Now about the paddle. The beer was served on what I can only describe as the paddle that my parents used to spank each other with. (they really must have been naughty, cause they spanked each other way more than they ever spanked me)But we are here to talk about beer, not my childhood. so here’s what they had.3 of the beers were exactly what you would expect them to be. The hefewiezen, the apple “beer” and the raspberry apple were all very predictable.The others were a bit more exciting.Brewbakers’ Honey Wheat Ale made me feel as though I was prancing in a field of daisies. If there was ever a quintessential Spring beer, this was it.They also had an IPA worth mentioning. So I am mentioning it. Brewbakers has an IPA.Now….. On to the flagship of the Brewbakers family. The Sequoia Red was one of the easiest drinking reds that I have had in a very long time. It renewed my faith in red ales, and reminded me why I love my job. It drank almost like a brown but with that very distinct roasted red feel and taste.So….. If you find yourself driving through or for some god awful reason living in Visalia, check out Brewbakers and try a paddle of your own.
