Foods from Covered Bridge Brewing

Last week I paid another visit to fill in the gaps of my exbeerience.
The Dirty Blonde is their beer for the masses. If you were hosting a party for a diverse crowd, this would be the one to get. I found it refreshing but I look for more darkness and depth in my craft beers.
Eternally Hoptimistic was a pleasant surprise for me, as I tend to favour maltiness over hoppiness. This beer has a wonderful nuttiness and a tastefully done hop component. I think this might be my favourite beer of the bunch and I'm hoppy to say it will be my next growler purchase.
The Bridge Over the River Chai was not available for sampling, but they had a few growlers left in the fridge from the winter season. I took a chance and took one home. This is a fun spiced beer that soothed my nerves through a few World Cup games over the weekend. Nice!

I dropped in to sample some of the offerings here.
The Amber Rose (foreground in pic) is an agreeable beer, with a pronounced sweetness that is cut by a pronounced bitterness. Anyone looking for a hoppy dessert beer will be thrilled with this.
The MSB (at rear in pic) is big and malty but was too bitter for my taste. Then again, Guinness is also too bitter for my taste. Worth a try!
The Covered Bridge Double-Double is really something else. This is one of those beers that beer drinkers and non beer drinkers can both appreciate. The coffee (from Gaia Java ) is quite forward while the chocolate is subtle. I bought a growler of this and can't wait to crack it!
La Cabane à Sucre was one of the most fun beers I've ever encountered. The strong presence of woodsmoke along with the maple sweetness evoke a sense of bacon! Yes, people... this is bacon beer.
CBB is a great addition to Ottawa's craft beer scene.
