Oro Brewing is our first stop on a multiple brewery day. I was going to say "run" but I jacked up my knee yesterday so it's more like a brewery hobble today. Regardless, this is my 146th unique brewery visit!
OB has a good amount of seating both indoors and out, and yes Yelp, they are complying with all of the covid restrictions so quit asking me about it. Don't be such a nag...
Unfortunately OB wasn't doing any flights, and since I am hitting multiple breweries I'm only reviewing a couple of beers. No flights is poor form though.
I ordered up the Give Peat A Chance, a foreign extra stout with heavily peated malt. I love peat! Islay whiskys are my absolute favorite so how could I not go with this one. This was a little heavy for my first beer but was quite good. Earthy, rich, not super-peaty but then my peat palate is quite high so YMMV. It also had some coffee flavors there as well.
SWPFTD went with the Red Fury, an Irish red ale. This was a nice malty red with just a touch of hoppiness.
All in all OB was a good stop. I would have liked to try more beers but with multiple stops planned today I can only do so much.
If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!
