Went to Churchill's in San Marcos for brunch yesterday and saw a Drake's beer on the tap list. Haven't seen a lot of their beer down here and when I noticed it was a session ale that was supposed to have 50 IBU's I figured I'd better give it a try.
I'm not sure if it was 50 IBU's or not but the hop flavor was very prominent and unlike a lot of low alcohol beers I've had this one had quite a bit of body and was really well balanced. I'd just had a Drake's 1500 a couple weeks ago and so far I'm quite impressed by what I've tried from them.
So here's a question for the HBT folks - have you had a chance to try any Drake's (especially the Alpha Session beer)? I looked for a recipe and though they have info posted on their site it is for a Tasty McDole recipe so I'm not sure if it is supposed to be a clone or just his session recipe. Anybody seen a recipe for this one? It's summer time and we all want a lawnmower beer once in a while!
