Triton Brewing Taproom Visit

Today’s tapping of Triton’s Gingerbread Brown was a great reason to finally make a visit and see what they have to offer. My mistake for waiting this long – Triton has a very impressive lineup of beers and is a great addition to the local craft beer scene. The tapping room is family-friendly and was busy with people looking to start off their holiday weekend right. We were lucky enough to snare a table and sample the following beers:

Fieldhouse Wheat – Light, refreshing American Wheat with a prominent citrus hop flavor from Amarillo hops. We’re not talking Gumballhead-level hoppy but fairly assertive for the style. Maybe it wouldn’t be considered traditional, but I’m a big fan of hoppy American Wheats.

Four Barrel Brown – Smooth and drinkable American Brown – good session beer.

Magnificent Amber – My personal favorite and worthy of the name. Toasty caramel malts blend in harmony with a well-balanced citrus hop character. Took home a growler of this one.

Deadeye Stout – Roasty malt flavor supported by a creamy mouthfeel with hints of coffee and black licorice.

Railsplitter IPA – Very well balanced showcase of classic citrus hop flavor (pineapple, grapefruit, etc.) with a dry finish and lingering bitterness. Really enjoyed this beer – a close second to the Amber.

Gingerbread Brown – Coffee notes up front followed by holiday spices and slight alcohol warming. Make sure to try this one while you can.

The taproom will be open from 11am – 10pm Friday and Saturday and 11am – 5pm on Sunday. Make good use of your long holiday weekend and pay them a visit. Do you really need to spend more time at the mall anyway?
