Berkshire Brewing Company:
Once I realized I have served about half of BBC’s products I figured I should see if I can serve them all. Here’s what I have left to put on tap from BBC:
- Russian Imperial Stout
- Czech Style Pilsner*
- Maibock* – We’re probably not going to be ordering this. We tried it in a bomber – it’s simply too sweet to put on tap. I’d rate it a D+/C- at best.
- Rasberry Barley Wine*
- Hefeweizen*
- Holidale Barley*
(* = seasonal)
