Small Batch Beer Co. Winston-Salem

Most breweries are kid friendly this one has been in the past but on our most recent visit...  Not so much. But hey they aren't in business to sell to kids so I'm not going to fault them. 

They brew on a 1 BBL system but have a very extensive craft and import bottle selection so they have something for everyone. They also have a nice wine selection a few specialty cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages as well.

Today I'm having their Limonhead Cutrus IPA and I'm not getting the smokey flavor and aroma that I got the first few times. This is a light bodied flavorful American IPA with a nice citrus aroma with low malt aroma. Flavor is very forward with a nice clean hop finish. A very dry citrus IPA but not bad. At 6.5% ABV this is one you need to be careful with as it could sneak up on you. 

My second one was the Downtown Abbey Ale. A smooth light bodied low hop malty beer that even a hop head like myself can enjoy. Still creamy as the style would suggest. Aromas are low and don't come out high but that's ok. Flavor is low on hop bitterness and hop flavor but the malt shines with a caramel undertone. Smooth mouth feel. 

They have a number of Saison styles available but my pallet is in no condition to tackle them on this visit. 

Small Batch is a place that invites you in with all it's southern charm for a totally different drinking experience.
