Another note on Right Brain Brewery

I didn't write much about my favorite beers at Right Brain Brewery and they had quite a selection to choose from.  If pressed, I would say I found the Scarsborough Fair (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme) to be the most unusual and memorable - probably my favorite, though I couldn't drink it all day long.  The guy at Right Brain told me people either love it or hate it.  I would be one of those that loves it and could think of other purposes for it in cooking, too...like a reduction!?  But you have to be careful reducing beer, because the hops flavors become more intense.  It would be interesting to reduce it to a sauce though.  For best all around beer, my favorite was Ethel the Frog, which is a slightly hoppy copper ale.  This was Dan's favorite and the favorite of the bartender/brewerytender, too:)  Again, the list there is ever changing, so I think it is the kind of place I would be stopping in constantly if I lived closer than 5 hours away from Traverse City.
