This brewery is about 20 minutes from where I live. Not only are they close, but they brew some amazing beer. Most recently they brewed the ever elusive Saison beer.
Saison (means 'season' in French) beer is one of my new found favorites after having a bottle of a really nice one from Italy. Despite being a rare style, Saison Dupont from the Brasserie Dupont brewery in Belgium was ranked as the best beer in the world in 2005 by Men's Journal.
Since saison beers are bottle conditioned, they age very well. This is right up my alley since they can taste very 'winey' or wine-like. Brewers can also add a wide variety of herbs and spices during the fermentation process like orange peels, cinnamon, cloves, and even chamomile which creates a very unique beer.
Back to Rock Bottom, one of their brewmasters is a female (Liz Laughlin) and that is hard to come by. Thursday's are karoake nights and $2 mugs of their beer of choice (bonus).
This place gets a B+.
