Ale Industries

One weekend we drove up to Concord to visit a friend from high school.  Concord is home to Ale Industries. 

At the time, Ale Industries had 2 brews on tap.  The first I tried was the Orange Kush.  The Orange Kush a hybrid whit brewed with orange peel, coriander, and chamomile.  I liked this one.  It had a noticeable but not overwhelming orange flavor.  It would have been a nice beer to have on a summer day at a bbq. 

The second beer was the Rye'd Piper.  I liked this one more than Mark did.  It had a nice flavor to it and wasn't too hoppy.

The woman pouring was really nice as well.  She spent time talking to Mark and I about the history of the brewery and how the owners got it started.  She said they that currently have more brews but due to the high demand for their beer, she only had 2 we tried available on tap. 

Before we went, we bought a Yelp deal where we paid $5 and got $10 toward brewery purchases.  Then when we got there, we found out the happy hour special was $2 Orange Kush pints.  For $10, I walked away having drank 2 pints and with 2 22 oz. bottles and after my Yelp deal, it only cost $5!  Score!
