#SHOCK TOP PRETZEL BEER FULL#

The tour was very informative, interesting, and fun. Her business card states that she is “Brewer & Fermentation Wizard”. Pola is very enthusiastic about brewing, and I believe she’s a cross of your high school science teacher and a mad scientist. Not such luck, but beer and ice cream don’e exactly go together any way. I had to google slurry, especially since I thought she said Flurry, and I was thinking we were getting some ice cream. A slurry is basically dormant yeast in liquid format. She was busy cultivating more yeast from a purchased slurry.

The first thing we find, is a bunch of beakers full of Pola’s various science experiments. So the majority of us, followed Pola back to the brewing room. The record was 32 according to Sean the bartender, and I think Shoe Fly got up to 29 before giving up for the day. Which meant every couple of minutes, you’d head a loud bang of falling blocks. Once our tasting was completed, most of the Posse opted for a live tour, while Shoe Fly continued to try to beat the giant Jenga record. Basically a group to cyclists, were drinking all his beer, so he cut it with lemon soda to make it last twice as long. The Radler originated in Germany by a barkeep who created a 50/50 blend of lager and lemon soda. It is thought that this was first created for Henry VIII as a tonic for his sexual difficulties during his numerous marriages. Historically, a Shandy was a lager blended with ginger beer. Really Siri!!?!! So to bring light to your otherwise darkened education… Today there is little or no difference between a Shandy and a Radler. Whenever I ask her a taxing question, I get the standard response “That is a good question Pretzel”, and then I get no answer. I would have asked Siri, but I have the dumbest Siri on the planet. We couldn’t agree, so we had to Google it. At this point, The Rabbit, B3, and I got into a discussion on the difference is between a Shandy and a Fruit Radler. Much to The Stoutmeister’s dismay, the Major’s Irish Stout kicked just as we bellied up to the bar. The menu included a nice variety of beer types, which is nice to see as we have found many breweries to be heavily laded with IPA’s. We were pleased that there were 9 beers on tap for the day. We tend to get enough flights to cover all the beer offerings, and share them around so each of us can cover the entire beer menu in our reviews. The Posse pushed several tables together, and immediately proceeded to the bar to order a few flights. Inside you find a cozy tasting room with ample seating, a hand-painted Lower Forge logo mural, a photo mural of old Medford railroad photos, and lots of wood and tin accents. The outside of Lower Forge is very welcoming, with several small tables. As we cruised into town, we found some street parking right out front of Lower Forge, but we also noted several public (and free) parking lots very near by. A few extra guest reviewers also showed up to enjoy the afternoon with us – Shoe Fly, The Good Neighbor, and his wife Tinkler (I know, don’t ask!). In attendance were Pretzel, The Stoutmeister, Princess, B3, The Rabbit, and The Wrangler.
