What We're Drinking - Bham's Best Brews

## WHAT WE’RE DRINKING# ***BHAM’S BEST BREWS***

*<<< Ghost Train Kaleidoscope Sour**Ghost Train is one of Birmingham’s newest breweries, and they have stormed the scene with a combination of classic and up-and-coming styles, like their kettle sour fermented with wild berries. It is tart and thirst quenching, while the low IBU’s keep it easy drinking.* *<<< Avondale Miss Fancy’s Tripel**Miss Fancy’s Tripel is named after the historically beloved elephant of Avondale Zoo. Miss Fancy’s natural sweetness is a perfect complement to the floral spice from the Belgian yeast, but don’t be fooled, she packs quite a punch coming in at 9.2% ABV.* *<<< Cahaba American Blonde**Cahaba’s Blonde ale, a blend of European malt and hops, is the perfect easy-drinking beer for Alabama summers. Whether you spend them floating down the Cahaba or playing skee-ball at their brewery in Avondale is up to you.* *<<< TrimTab Bankston 88**Another summer-time sipper, Bankston 88 is a wheat-based Belgian pale ale that will offer more floral, cedar, and citrus flavors such as lemon and grapefruit.Try one out while you observe the latest local art installation in TrimTab’s Taproom.* *<<< Good People IPA**Good People is the oldest and largest brewery in the state: their beers are quintessentially ‘Birmingham.’ Their unfiltered IPA has all of the piney, hoppy character you expect, with a clean finish to balance it out. It is easy enough for sitting on the patio and complex enough to pair with dinner.*
