New California Brewery

Tonight I had the pleasure of tasting some of the beers of one of California’s newest and best breweries: Redwood Curtain Brewing Company. The beers of Redwood Curtain are far more elegant than their logo suggests. These beers are sophisticated, European style beers unlike anything I have tasted brewed in California. I tried their delicious Belgian and English style ales and was surprised at not only at how authentic but also drinkable they were. If you have said “I don’t like Belgian beers”, it it time to give Redwood Curtain beers a try. Try their Belgian Pale Ale for one of the easiest drinking Belgian ales this side of Antwerp. My favorite was the Imperial Golden Ale with its classic malt forward English ale approach and mild but delicious East Kent Goldings hops. These beers are not the standard California yeast strain with Cascade hops that we have grown so used to. These are balanced, complex and assertive beers that may take a little getting used to, but oh, the training will be so pleasurable. They are serving seven beers at their tasting room in Arcata and you can find their beers on tap in many restaurants. Drake can give you more information.
