As a law student on both a budget and a diet, I decided to indulge once a week in my love for craft beer. The result was a weekly ritual involving an in depth look into the specific beer I chose. The following are my picks for The Beer of The Week. I urge you to go out and support craft beer, both locally, nationally, and internationally. Most importantly, find that time during the week to sit, relax, and indulge! Cheers!
![Beer of the Week 104 - 1/18/2012: Ithaca Brewing Co. Brute
Ithaca has become quite well known for this beer, Brute. An American Wild Ale, Brute, is “[b]rewed with vintage local hops, American Barley, Wheat and Corn, Brute is fermented on Oak for many months with Brettanomyces, then finished with a blend of three Champagne yeasts.”
Really one of the finer American Wild Ales I have personally tasted. Nice funky, tart, barnyard like aromas. The taste fllows the aromas quite well adding some lemon zest and slight acidity, along with a really refreshing evervescence from the Champagne yeasts. Really nicely brewed beer and one that I would absolutely revisit.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyd7lfeB3v1rnbaqro1_1280.jpg)
