Real Ale Devil's Backbone

It's May.  And we're in Austin.  It's only going to get hotter, so i must divert myself away from the usual dark and heavy brews i love so.  Bring on the crisp and refreshing pale ales my friends.  Texas's own Real Ale Brewing Company unleashed their yearly batch of Devil's Backbone, a Belgian style Tripel ale.  It's a wonderful mix of malts and hops with a blend of sweet sugars, and served ice cold, is wonderful for these upcoming long and sweaty days.  But, be wary.  The 8.1% alcohol by volume content can pack a wallop you were not expecting.  It is a damn good beer though, the kind of brew i start thinking about around 4PM when i'm still at work, as if it's calling me from my refrigerator.  Ahhh.

Visit the brewer.
