Batch 19- Coors Brewing Company

As the sounds of John Mayer filled the Pinnacle Bank Arena, I thought I would spice up the moment with a good brew. I walked into the VIP bar area assuming that they would only have the good old regulars when it comes to beer: Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light, but, to my delight, they had a few others. I decided to try Batch 19. This is a Coors Brewery beer the majority of which is brewed at their Golden, Colorado site. The full name of this great beer is Batch 19 Pre-Prohibition Style Beer.

This great brew uses Hersbrucker hops, which were used a lot during the early 1900’s. This is a very strong beer with a dark golden color. The great mixture of hops and caramel maltiness really work well with one another to make this an amazingly bold and great tasting brew. Compared to other hoppy and bold beers, Batch 19 has a crisp and clean after taste. The non-hoppy aftertaste makes this a great bold beer. If you're wanting to try this brew at a family dinner or a night out, I suggest you pair it with: steak, sausage, baked chicken, or a good bowl of mac and cheese.

As the concert continued, I found myself going back to the bar a few more times, each time grabbing a Batch 19. For all of you beer lovers out there, this is a must try. Batch 19  is one of my top bold beers of the year. Bold beers are usually not my favorite, but this one exceeded my expectations and is a clear four out of five stars. I suggest all of you beer lovers make sure and give this brew a try! Until next week, happy drinking!
