The Beer Traveller

More like Hiding Bison.  This place in located on the back side of what looks like an abandoned warehouse.  I don’t believe there was a sign out front either.  Luckily Stuckey called to give me a heads-up.  It was only about the 5th time the PITA had called me in the last 20 minutes (just kidding, we love ya Stuck). Stuckey (good friend from college) had arrived early & had been giving the lay-up to Tim (brewer).  Tim was more than accommodating & a great guy as well.  He gave a tour to Stuck, Melissa, & myself. Flying Bison isn’t exactly a brewpub, but they have a mini-bar & taps in the back of the brewery & they don’t mind doling out some free samples.  Great group of regulars & completely laid back atmosphere. 
The Dawn Patrol Gold was a golden Kolsch that did not fit the mold of the Kolschs I had been drinking along the way.  It was golden in color & had a lot more flavor than my other Kolsch experiences.  The Buffalo Lager was a little plain for my tastes, but the Blizzard Bock was Exceptional.  Literally bursting with the perfect balance of flavor.  Barn Stormer Pale was a Likable pale w/o the usual bite that some Pales have.  Blackbird Oatmeal Stout was a good stout, but boilerplate with nothing truly unique about it. 
Tim gave me another surprise when he packed up a sampler 6 pack for my travels.  Thank you Tim!  Flying Bison is not exactly a place to bring the wife for dinner, but they made some good beers & it’d be a great stop after work w/ the boys.
