One of our recent guests is a craft beer aficionado so on a trip to Port Townsend we sought out a local brewery we’d seen but not explored: Propolis Brewing.
My Danish grandmother allowed me tiny glasses of beer as a child so I’ve long enjoyed beer and ale. However, nothing quite prepared me for the Propolis beverages. Made with herbs and botanicals in an “Old World” style, the tastes were quite unlike what I’ve come to expect. The one on the left, above, was a Golden Saison brewed with lemon balm. The other was an Amber Saison brewed with sage, hyssop and thyme.
The brewery has won a number of medals for their craft brews. We took home a couple of bottles. As one who leans towards India Pale Ales – and drinks them infrequently – I can’t really say what I think of them. They’re certainly different.
I love craft beer. The table also caught my eye. It looks like it has retained the appearance of the tree trunk.
They definitely sound different but I would give it a taste. I use to drink microbrews when I was in Oregon. Some were made with blueberries, apricots, lemon. They were pretty good.
It is a nice image, Kay. But the hole in the table? That would be a concern if a guest got tipsy.
My drink of choice these days is sparkling water. I did plenty of beer when I was younger.
I was wondering what you thought of them Kay 😊 Craft breweries are so popular these days but sometimes you have to wonder if they don’t go a little over the top. I do like that they have their stylish logo on their glasses, though I’m sure that has no effect on the taste 😊
I did wonder about the hole in the table!
