Capitol City Brewing

On Thursday, I met with my college buddy Robert and his friend Matt at Capitol City Brewing. We met there for happy hour, and while I have had their four standard beers before, I had not tried at least one of their seasonal brews. The dilemma as I later found out: the seasonal brews were not the happy hour price of $2 a pint! Nonetheless, I did settle down with a cheap, familiar pint after tasting something new. The service was a little slow, but Thursday night tends to be the busy night for Happy Hour.

Capitol City Brown Ale: This was the seasonal brew that I tried. I thought it was a rather par for the course Amber Ale. For those who are unfamiliar with Brown Ales, I would say that the standard to go from is Newcastle Brown Ale. I thought CapCity did a quality job with this, and I surely enjoyed my pint.

Capitol City Prohibition Porter: This beer is already on my list, but I thought I would mention it. I tend to like porters (understatement). I think this porter is fairly well done. It's got the roasted/burnt malt flavor that one looks for with a porter. I thought it washed away my work day quite easily.

The scorecard:
Colleen: 205
Paul: 201

Cheers,
