Great Leap Banana Wheat, Porter, Stout and Pale

Never had a banana beer? This is a serious treat, a banana wheat. Sweet, strong banana flavor and a masterful balance. Yes, fruity beer is sacrilegious but in this case all is forgiven. It tastes like candy and love. Rock on!!

The porter has an excellent balance and full roasted malt character, while the pale is a robust interpretation of the type.

The beers are priced on a sliding scale based on how much they cost to produce, which also tends to arrange them in a good order for tasting. Starting with the lowest priced beers will preserve more sobriety and taste buds for the flavor onslaught provided by the excellent stout. For a beer lover in Beijing, visiting Great Leap is a must.

Everybody's Brewing

After a fun time rafting with the Wet Planet crew on the White Salmon river today, we stopped by Everybody's Brewing for lunch. This place is simply fantastic.

Out of ten beers, all were very good. Every brew showed character and incredible balance. I do enjoy audacious beers, and would love to see an Imperial IPA from EB. Until then, ten awesome brews on tap is impressive. Well worth the trip!
