"Whoever thought rugby & beer would go together?" - Dan Lyle
In this US Rugby Happy Hour Tap Room episode, Bill & John introduce a new beer and brewery to their listeners! Don’t worry, these breweries don’t sponsor the show… so it’s game on! I mean, if they wanted to, we’re willing to take one for the team… or many.
🍺 Featherduster by City-State Brewing
Washington, DC
7% ABV - IPA - New England / Hazy
John’s Untappd Rating: 4.0
🍺 Old Rasputin by North Coast Brewing Company
Fort Bragg, CA
9% ABV - Russian Imperial Stout, Complex
Produced in the tradition of 18th Century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia’s Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following wherever it goes. It’s a rich, intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish.
Bill’s Untappd Rating: 3.75
