Mt. Carmel Blonde Ale.My first introduction to Mt. Carmel was just 3 weeks ago, thanks to one of my coworkers. That beer was their Winter Ale, which by the way is the best winter beer that I have had this year. So after the Winter Ale, I moved on to their IPA, another fantastic choice. Very reminiscent of Sierra Nevada's Torpedo IPA. Anyway, tonight brought me the Blonde Ale. This is a very smooth beer, just like their other offerings. It seems like this is what Budweiser or Miller would taste like if they really wanted to make "good" beer. It starts off smooth, with a lager cleanness, then a taste of hops hits the palate, which finishes off this beer perfectly. I think this beer will be my go to beer in warmer times.
Another cool aspect of Mt. Carmel is that they are a local brewery here in the Cincinnati area. Started in 2005 in the basement of their house, they have now expanded and are producing more and more beer, which you are able to find a little easier nowadays. Here is a quick video from YouTube:

Next time you are strolling through your local grocery store and Mt. Carmel catches your eye, definitely pick some up and support your local brewery.
