Two Brothers Brewing Company: The Bitter End Pale Ale

Two Brothers Brewing Company is a local microbrewery located just west of Chicago in Warrenville, IL. Another great Midwest beer! According to their site, the two brothers, Jim and Jason Ebel, have been brewing beer since 1997. They have year round beers, some seasonal ones and some extra special beers they call artisan beers; all together they have around 10-20 different beers. They have a brewery, a restaurant and a pub. They offer tours of their brewery and extremely reasonable prices at their pub, so I’ve heard.

I’ve heard their beers were good and decided to try one, The Bitter End Pale Ale was a great beer! The appearance was that of a clear, slightly dark copper color. It smelled a bit sweet, noticeable hops. I got hints of some citrus in there as well. The taste was a little different than the smell, it was bitter. You can taste the hops and the citrus, ended up being more bitter though. Was crisp and left you with a nice taste in your mouth, very good! It’s 5.1% alc/vol so it wasn’t strong enough to taste the alcohol, to me, it was just right!

You can see the head was pretty noticeable, dissipated after I poured it. Resulted in a little coat over the beer. You can also see how the lacing formed right after I poured it, this also stayed the entire time I was drinking the beer.

All in all, I give this beer a 9/10! Two Brothers Brewing Company is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Having just tried this beer, I can guarantee you will see another one of their beers on here real soon! I suggest you try this beer, if you like pale ales it is a real treat! All around good beer.

Regards!
