Custom BrewCrafters St. Patrick's Irish Ale (NY)

I'm not actually thinking about St. Patrick's Day yet, but I was looking for an easy drinking beer to share and a growler seemed to fit the bill. Honeoye Falls, NY based Customer BrewCrafters cranks out tons of styles for area bars and restaurants. Growlers are available at the brewery and in several local stores, and two of their beers are bottled (one of which I reviewed here). 


This Irish ale is pretty light in the body, but very smooth and easy drinking. Some caramel malts are balanced by earthy hops which never really reach the level of bitterness. The beer reminds me of their English Pale Ale. I don't know if it's mostly the same malts and yeast (not that this is a beer that shows off its yeast). This is what happens 

To me, St. Patrick's Irish Ale is just okay, but it serves its purpose. St. Patty's Day isn't for beer connoisseurs, it's for everyone, and they could do worse than a drinkable local brew.

I was previously unfamiliar with Custom Brewcrafters, but their business model is interesting. I will have to give them visit if I am in Honeoye Falls again. Thanks for the post, I linked to it from my blog.

Thanks for the post link. I think the reason for the name Custom Brewcrafters was that they didn't originally sell anything under their own name. Their expanding now, and hopefully will have more available in 6-packs in the future.

The writer of buttlebeer.blogspot.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: Old women with mobile phones look wrong! I will be back.
