As most of you know, I'm an ardent supporter or corn in craft beer. I don't view adjuncts as these unworthy ingredients in beer. I think if done well adjuncts like corn and rice in a beer can catch on. The only problem is that there aren't many in the craft beer community.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that East End Brewing just outside of Pittsburgh was planning on putting a Cream Ale on tap at the brewery location in Larimer. I finally got a hold of some of said Cream Ale and must admit that it's fantastic. Sweet, but not too sweet. Nice and malty. Perfect if you're worn out and/or thirsty. This gets the job done.
It doesn't look like the strongest beer in the world, but it doesn't have to be that way to get the job done. These types of brews need to catch on. Especially in the Pittsburgh market. Maybe the East End offering can be the one to ignite the flame?
I sure as hell will do my best to spread the word about how good this beer is with an ingredient(s) that are usually frowned upon. I also think it's worth mentioning once again that East End is making a habit out of using corn in beer and thus making me happy. Corn was also used in the Pennsyltucky Uncommon special brew that was released during the 2013 edition of Pittsburgh Craft Beer week.
