Drinking Beer at Noon on Tuesday (or… Brewery Update, Part 3)

Of course, we spent some time in Boise seeking out the local craft breweries:

  • Sockeye Brewing – tasty IPAs and $2.50 Tuesdays!  Not bad for a first stop…
  • Highlands Hallow – nothing to shout about beer-wise, but your first beer was only $1.50 with the Hoppy Meal lunch, and our lunches came with bread “stick”.  Note this is more like a bread “log”.
  • Table Rock – Excellent beer, and at happy hour prices, to boot! Crazy IBUs (maybe inflated a bit much on their end), but great IPA, double IPA and Black IPA, and Erin enjoyed the OBS (Orange Blossom Special – orange and coriander spiced wheat with orange-blossom honey).

Previous:

  • Deschutes – Bend, Or
  • Silver Moon  – Bend, Or (try the pilsner!)
  • Bend Brewing – Bend, Or
  • 10 Barrel – Bend, Or (awesome food, awesome beer!)
  • McMenamin’s – Bend, Or
  • Sierra Nevada – Chico, Ca
  • Moab Brewery – decent, though they were out of  several specialty beers (double black IPA!)
  • Eddie McStiff’s – uninspired beer, but they made a decent mojito (with 2.5 shots of rum, none-the-less)
  • Spanish Valley Vineyards – a surprise!  We went to the winery not expecting much, but were impressed by the 100% estate-grown grapes on their 5 acres.  We came away with a bottle of Gewurztraminer, Merlot, and a Cherry wine.  By the way, the place is for sale – turn-key operation, plus a residence, for $825K!
