Angel City Avocado Ale

If you happened to be in Southern California during late summer, you’d have gotten a chance to sip this LA brewery’s foray into vegetal beer. The light-bodied golden Kolsch style ale was brewed with fresh California avocados harvested straight from brewmaster Dieter Forstner’s grandmother’s farm. He then added crushed red peppers, dried cilantro, garlic and lime to give it a flavor profile just like guacamole. The experiment worked — it was even more delicious than it sounds (4.7% ABV).
