This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Shapiro Pale Ale.
After landing in Tel Aviv late Sunday we drove to Jerusalem where we reunited with Yael (who is studying in Israel for the year) and had dinner, but other than davening Ma'ariv we did not do much, having been on flights for most of the last day. But Monday was a new day and after visiting the Old City and the "Cry-Wall" we made our way to Shuk Machane Yehuda where I stopped in at Beer Bazaar to mix a six pack of IPAs and Pale Ales.
Of the beers that I purchased that day the Shapiro seemed the most promising, but it was the least satisfying of the four that I tried this week. Although the beer poured the right color for a Pale Ale, that was where the resemblance stopped. This beer was bready and malty and the hops were almost muted. The beer is 5% abv, but there was little alcohol flavor and the carbonation was also on the light side.
The Shapiro Pale Ale is under the Rabbanut of Bet Shemesh and there is a hashgacha on the back of the bottle. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about the Shapiro Pale Ale (yes, it is reviewed on BA), click here https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/36568/136376.
As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
