Look Ma, We got an A

Here is the post verbatim from the awesome site Beerschoolblog.com

So I (Brian) have this friend that home brews. I know I know….big deal…who doesn’t home brew these days?!?! Well, first of all the beer is VERY good, and they “brew good and do good” — please check out our friends at NOEL Brewing
Here’s what makes them stand out besides just really good bee. They’re mission is bigger than beer, I know that may sound shocking to some but it’s actually really cool. Until NOEL becomes a household name (which we’re pretty sure it’s going to become) they are using their brew to generate profits that they will help people in need. I attended a fund raiser to help out a friend of Michael Gilbert (co founder of NOEL) who has recently incurred some pretty hefty medical bills. So I got to try 3 different NOEL brews and my donation was going to a great cause…perfect!
THE BEER: Ellie’s Amber Ale - Originally brewed to help raise funds for Ellies’ Run For Africa. It is what an Amber Ale should be. Hints of hops that aren’t overpowering, a sweet malty finish that leaves you wanting more. Very, very good.
Byun in the Sun - this was brewed specifically for the fundraiser I attended. It’s a summer ale with a hot day in mind. There are a number of Summer Ales out there that don’t seem to think of the season! It’s HOT in the summer people, keep it refreshing. Well, NOEL brewing does exactly that. It’s lighter in color and taste, with just the right amount of hops.
The IPA - I got a small taste of NOEL’s IPA. WOW! Can’t wait to have more of this. It’s hoppy and wonderful.
One more great thing about NOEL: BREWGIGS! What’s a brewgig??? “Well, it’s like food catering, only it’s better because it’s beer.” The folks from NOEL will come to your event and provide the beer. What else could you ask for really. It’s what they do! Check out their site for more info.
