Weed Ales and Lagers (Mt. Shasta Brewing Company)

A few weeks ago I went on a road trip to see my grandmother for the weekend. On the way back I decided to find a brewery to stop at for a late lunch/early dinner so that I could push through the night to get home. What a better place than to combine my love of beer and food for a brand new brewery trial. I found the Mt Shasta Brewing Company, of Weed, CA. It is located right off of the I5 and you can't miss the place. It definitely has a vintage feel and is a unique place in Norther California. 

At first walking in I was one of three customers in the bistro and right away I was offered a beer and the staff was very friendly. There were 9 different beers there and I tasted all but 2 of them. I must say, damn good beer.

The first one I tried was their Lemurian Lager. This beer is brewed like a Bohemian Pilsner, which I do not usually like because they all taste like straw, but this beer was one of the best lagers I have ever had.Clean, refreshing and delicious.

The next beer I tried was the hefeweizen finished with hemp seeds. First off I was skeptical of trying it but it was amazing! Light and refreshing with a strong finish. The hemp seed has a unique flavor, and the seed did not over power the wheaty lightness of a German hefeweizen. The beer was also quite clear implying that it is a filtered wheat.

I then tried the Weed Amber which is one of the best ambers I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a 6 pack. It has a cool crisp finish, and not a lot of amber taste which I highly enjoy. It also has a great clear amber color.

The next one I had was the Weed Golden Ale. This one was delicious but I did not like the dry hopiness of the ale. Other than that it was damn delicious.

 This brewery I feel is amazing and the next time I pass through Weed, California, I will stop in again.
