Signature Brew manage to mix great beer and live music with ease. This is the sort of brewery that people believe is impossible to run. Often when a business tries to conflate to great leisure aspects, they do both badly. Nothing could be further from the truth in this instance. Based on the motto that "Great music deserves great beer" they have collaborated with many great bands and even held gigs in their taproom. Some of the beers they produce are stunning and they have twice been SIBA's Brewery Business of the year. These guys really know what they are are doing in both fields.
This beer a Toasted Lager is probably the most "bready" I have tasted so far. On the nose it has a rich malt aspect with the tiniest hint of smoke. This body is carried through to the palate where there of overtones of enriched dough bread (brioche maybe?) and an old fashioned mouthfeel and finished. I'm about to go to the fridge and get out some blue cheese, perhaps a 2 Blue Monday (obtuse musical reference)
