IdahaBlue posted review on 7/17/09 http://idablue.blogspot.com/2009/07/idaho-brewing-company.html There's a new brewpub in Idaho Falls, the Idaho Brewing Company. The
pic below is of their seven offerings, and Brewmaster Leon, who was
happy to explain in detail how he crafted the brews.  He
explained the processes, the types of malts, hops, all kinds of stuff.
Unfortunately, after trying the sampler platter, it seems my memory of
the evening is not that crisp. The Hefeweizen had a fair amount
of banana, and some clove, per Leon. I picked up the banana, not the
clove so much. My fav was entitled "Scotch." Really nice malty flavor,
and 8% alcohol. The rest were in the 4-5% range. Had a couple of good
pale ales, and had a decent stout. Leon recommended I try the stout
last, as "the malts in it will coat your mouth and affect how you taste
everything afterward." So I saved it til the end, and well worth the
wait. Aren't bottling it, yet. They don't serve food, and aren't sure whether they will. Don't want to get overwhelmed. Have a nice outdoor seating area, and a pleasnt bar, tables, couches, and a fireplace inside. Hope they do well. |
