Rappell, Beer, in that order.

So Zech tells me a couple years back that he enjoys lead climbing and rappelling. I'm thinking to myself that would be great fun, but having no equipment and too many irons in the fire already, I figure its a dream never to be realized. While in Utah we do a little rope work up to a cave in the side of the cliffs surrounding the little glacier lake we packed up to for a couple days, this really gets me thinking. For Zech its all in a days work as a master rope tech and firefighter.
Flash forward a year. We go camping to Fall Creek Falls State Park in TN, Zech brings his gear and we do some rappelling and climbing. Drink some good beers around the campfire. One of these was Porkslap Pale Ale.

 This Pale Ale is brought to you by Butternuts Beer and Ale and is a refreshing A.P.A.. Since we were camping I drank it straight from the red cup. It had a distinct Pale Ale flavor with a bite of something else. After checking Butternuts website I found that this was fresh ginger.I truly enjoyed this paired with the Brats on a stick over the fire. Matts rating? 3.5 out of 5.

Spring another year forward we find ourselves back at Fall Creek Falls. this time taking on a 135' rappell. check out my view from halfway down the rope.

 It was a blast! After that a good refreshing beer was in order and so I went for...

It was just that. A refreshing Wheat Ale with a nice soft infusion of blueberry. I am still not a sweets fan so this beer was a pleasant taste of beer and blueberry without pushing itself to wine cooler status. I would not drink this everyday but my preference still leans toward a dark hoppy beer, with that being said, this would define what a blueberry wheat should taste like. Thanks Sea Dog you've made a believer. Matt rates it a 3 out of 5.

Yazoo Brewing Pale Ale

  Yazoo's Pale Ale is a subtle and artistic take on the IPA. Thanks to the new Amarillo hop there is a delicate and slightly sweet citrus note to the nose. I could also pick up hints of malt which I found quite pleasant. Because the hops are so well balanced, the acidic oil content is low enough that you don't feel like you just swallowed a week cough syrup. There is the clean, crisp and dry hop finish without being harsh. The head doesn't linger too long and is not overly bitter. I am not generally a fan of IPA's, but this is a refreshing brew that I will definitely drink again.
 -Zech gives Yazoo Pale Ale 3.5 out of 5-

This is a clean your palate between dark beer offering. Very crisp and clean. I purchased this in a Yazoo 12 sampler and enjoyed it after a  Dos Perros. The clean flavor of this Pale Ale is definetly mild in comparison to the other Pale Ales you may be used to. I think that this is a good summer beer and would recommend this to those who are not ready for too much hop. On the other hand if you like the really hoppy brews you may be suprised at Yazoo's version. This would make a good outdoor barbeque beer.
