It's been a while since we last visited Two Goats, and it reminded me of a spot closer to home--one that would easily become a regular hangout. We had the chance to try some great beers, and one unique experience stood out: mixing two beers together, a concept similar to a blend in the wine world. As the bartender put it, "It's a game we like to play."
On tap, they had a solid lineup:
1. Hector Logger - A traditional lager (4.9% ABV)
2. Goatmaster Kölsch - A crisp Kölsch (5.1% ABV), which I tried and really enjoyed
3. RedBeard - A Red Ale (5% ABV), a reliable go-to beer
4. Cream Ale - A bit different at 6.7% ABV, more robust than the typical lower-ABV versions
5. Golden Crush - A hazy IPA (5.1% ABV) that had nice fruit-forward notes, but not overpowering
6. X IPA - An Imperial IPA (7.8% ABV)
Mosaic! Mosaic! - A Pale Ale (5.2% ABV) that followed the traditional pale ale profile and was very enjoyable
7. Goatmeal Stout - An Oatmeal Stout (8.1% ABV)
Then came the blends--something I hadn't seen much of before. The only one I tried was 1. Goat Juice, a 50/50 mix of Hazy IPA and Kölsch (5.1% ABV). It was bursting with amazing flavors, the best of both worlds.
Some of their other blends included:
2. Red X - A mix of Red Ale and Imperial IPA
3. Goatgasm - A Kölsch and IPA blend
4. Headbutt - A Stout and Cream Ale combo
I tend to gravitate toward Hazies, Kölsches, and Pale Ales, so this place hit all the right notes for me. I can't wait to come back and see what new creations they have on tap next time!
