It's hard to believe that summer is winding down, pumpkin ales are just on the horizon, and my oldest son starts kindergarten on Thursday. That last one is a head and heart trip that practically barrels me over. Anyway, while the getting was good, we made a quick weekend journey south to Galveston to hit the beach and the pier, and grab some local beer of course. Hitting it up every time we're in the area,
Galveston Island Brewing offers up a relaxed atmosphere, a playground for the kids, and good beer too. This last visit, i was particularly taken with the Chicken Little Saison, a tasty and refreshing little brew for these hot and humid August days. Pouring gold with a quickly dissipating head, the 5.5% ABV beer smells of spice, lemon, and coriander, those same notes making up the flavor of the brew along with some Belgian wheat hints and a crisp finish. It's the perfect beverage for a hot day, either at the beach or not.
Visit the
brewer.
