Style: Golden Ale

Jill’s Rating:
   (Outstanding within its style.)


Comments:
Prairie Path is a beer that longs to be outdoors. A pour of pure golden sunlight, this beer has good carbonation, a small head and is slightly cloudy. The cloudiness leads to a thicker tasting beer, which is good because at first glance, I was worried that this one was going to be watery. It's got a hoppy taste, but the hops aren't overbearing, and when I like something that's hoppy, you know that it's got promise.

Overall, this is a solid ale that would be perfect for drinking in a beer garden. The only problem is that it goes down so smoothly that it's gone before you know it, and you'll be clamoring for more.

Today in 1933, Prohibition was repealed. Have a beer.

Beer Dorks News

Want to know how healthy the craft beer industry is? As always, look to Portland. Craft pioneer Bridgeport announces sudden closure, adding to a growing list of PDX casualties. Did Anheuser-Busch Chicago offer their shit beer to Cody Parkey before his missed field goal? Because that may explain why he "accidentally" biffed it. Chicago now has the most breweries of any city in the country. Other things Chicago has the most of: murders, mobsters, and Ditkas. Trying to spin it positive, BA releases end of year graphic. Only 5% growth in the craft sector when nearly 1000 new breweries opened? That's a collapse waiting to happen. R.I.P. Tallgrass... another casualty as the regional/national craft beer market continues to get squeezed. Wait... Constellation Brands cut all of the Ballast Point and Funky Buddha sales staff? They merged it with their Corona/Modelo staff?? We're SHOCKED!!! Pizza Beer founder crying about failure of company, blames everyone else. Reminder, the beer tasted like vomit. Try having better ideas or making better products so you're not a failure. It's Bud Light so doesn't really matter, but we expect this beer to be sitting around for awhile. Indiana brewery to open with controversial beer names to "get the conversation going". Translation: taking advantage of serious issues for free publicity. Hundreds of amazing beers in Wisconsin and the Cubs took back the one everyone drinks just because it exists and people have heard of it. How fitting...
