Greetings from Mobile!! I'm currently on the road for work in this charming ghost town and have had the chance to experience some local brews.
Last night a bunch of my collegues and I ventured out to Zea's Rotisserie and Grill, which had a section on the menu for its microbrewery beers, for some food. After working all day I normally would have loved a beer, but for some reason I wasn't feeling it. Someone I was with decided to have a go, but after seeing what the waitress brought out, I was glad I hadn't.
The waitress brought out a bottle of their Amber Lager. A BOTTLE! We were thouroughly confused/disapointed since it definitely positioned itself as having draft. To top it off it wasn't very good.
We decided to tryout the brew scene again, since there are surprising a lot of places down here that claim to be breweries.
Next stop Hurricane Brewery in downtown Mobile. We sat down and I was delighted to see that they had a Pumpkin Spice beer on tap. I have been craving one for awhile...
Verdict: Not much pumpkin way too much spice- RETURNED Which is something I NEVER do that's how bad it was. It kinda tasted like Worcestershire sauce with some other nasty spices.
Next up I tried their Oktoberfest
Verdict: Good bite, with a nice smooth earthy flavor. I wouldn't say it was the greatest Oktoberfest, but after the pumpkin spice I think Miller Lite would have tasted good.
Lessons Learned in Mobile-
If you are a beer drinker and want to find some great southern beer...keep looking :)
*It also didn't help that my boyfriend was in NYC at Brewtopia, one of the world's largest beer events, today.
