Ferro's Liquid Lunch: Foolproof Brewing Co.

Today's offering comes from the folks at Foolproof Brewing Company out of Pawtucket, RI. It's their La Ferme Urbaine Farmhouse Ale. Foolproof brews this beer in collaboration with Pawtucket's New Urban Farmers, who collects their spent grains.

This ale has beautiful color from bottle to glass on the pour, with a good standing head on top, and a very light nose. Its great golden color is slightly hazy, but this is definitely not an unfiltered brew. Now on to the fun part, let's drink some!!

Right off the bat, the flavor automatically brings me to a hot summers day, where my only reprieve from the scorching sun is this fine, ice cold beer. Crisp, clean, bit of a spicy finish slightly dry and leaves my mouth watering for the next sip.
I could see this paired with some nice fresh seafood, I'd say scallops or a big, juicy lobster. I typically like a bit more hop in my beer, but with its spicy bite in the finish, this beer doesn't fail to impress.

Check out Foolproof Brewing and their other great beers (love me some Barstool and Backyard, I'll get to writing about those soon) at www.foolproofbrewing.com or head on over for a tour Saturdays from 1-4PM at 241 Grotto Ave in Pawtucket.
