This is brewery #195 for me. I'm rapidly closing in on 200. Who do you know who has visited that many individual breweries? No one? That's what I thought...
Thirsty Street is right next door to Angry Hanks so I can see a lot of spillover on busy nights. Having two breweries right next to each other is cool.
TS is in an old brick building and had a laid back vibe. No real food here but they do have soft pretzels, nachos, beef jerky, etc. There is plenty of seating, which is good since they have about 20 beers on tap.
I went with four starting with the Rimrock'd amber ale in honor of SWPFTD who could not be with me on this trip. I came through Billings with my family on vacation last year about this time and being here without them put me in a bit of a melancholy mood. Hopefully these beers will cheer me up!
The amber was a nice amber color of course with great caramel flavors. Yes, SWPFTD would like this one.
Next up was Hopster Doofus which I really ordered just because of the name. Yes I enjoy hazy IPA's but the name got a chuckle out of me. Very fruity on the nose with a consistent hop bitterness that lingered on my tongue.
The Vanilla Mazevo vanilla latte stout on nitro was next. And that was a mouthful. Not just the beer I mean, but the label. I had no idea what "Mazevo" was but apparently it is a local coffee company. I definitely got coffee from this but vanilla was a little harder to find. I was kind of like that gif of John Travolta wandering around looking confused in Pulp Fiction. This was still a good beer...wait, you know on about my fourth taste as I'm still typing this I found the vanilla. That just shows you I do my reviews live.
Last for today is Big Bison Stout. I appreciate that they use the term bison instead of buffalo. Roasty, chocolatey and just what I expect from a stout. Tasty all around. Just a good lip smacking stout.
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!
