Year of New Beer: Table Beer, Westbrook Brewing Co (SC)

Written By: Dion on 02/28/2014

Taking advantage of a few free moments on a brisk, sunny day, I wander in to one of Lexington's premier locations for craft beer and ponder the tap selection. Doing something I rarely do, I opt for the pilsner. The nose is light, slightly bready with a touch of sweetness. On the tongue, sweetness and a bit of apple peel give way to a sharper, spicy hop bite that dries out toward the finish. Lemon zest and a touch of seltzer round things out. Not normally available in KY, Westbrook is a brewery that makes some really good beers, and I hope we'll see more of them soon. — with Kevin Patterson and Brett Behr at The Beer Trappe.
