Curtis the bartender — who looks like Gary Busey — says there's a local beer festival here this Friday night...but of course I'm leaving town Friday morning. Steamworks' new packaging facility was in the planning process in September 2006.

Light body, creamy. Lots of caramel malt. Feels like a nitro beer, but it's not. Big grassy hop flavor, mildly bitter — like a Samuel Smith's beer.Overall Impression (1½)

Medium body, really creamy. Chocolatey, roasty, and smooth. Finishes maybe a little too clean — possibly due to the nitro pour — a shot of East Kent Goldings at the end would be nice.Overall Impression (2½)
