My roommate works at a brewery called Rising Silo, so when we saw that we could visit a brewery for a grade, we got very excited. We were able to tour the facility outside of business hours, and we got a beer flight to taste. We tasted four beers: Apple 'Atcha, Udder Chaos Milkshake IPA, That Bucking Tractor DIPA, and Thunder Snow Stout.
We were able to tour the back of the brewery, where we were shown the kegs, fermentation vessels, and boil kettles among others. After our tour, we ordered a flight and tried those beers. Apple 'Atcha tasted somewhat watery to me, but it was very light and crisp, and I was really able to pick up on the apple notes. Out of all of the beers, this one was my favorite. The Udder Chaos Milkshake IPA was thicker, almost creamy, with slight hints of vanilla and orange. I am not very keen to ordering IPAs, so this one was not my favorite, but it also wasn't the worst. The third beer, That Bucking Tractor IPA, tasted bitter, hoppy, and smooth with a very strong hop aftertaste. This was my least favorite beer of all four. The final beer was the Thunder Snow Stout, which surprisingly not my least favorite. It heavily tasted like coffee, was very smooth, and gave off a chocolate aftertaste.
Visiting the brewery was a great experience, and seeing all of the equipment in the back was enlightening and entertaining.
