This month, we’re celebrating a brew that has become a staple across Texas—Revolver Brewing’s Blood & Honey. Hailing from Granbury, Texas, this beer is much more than just a refreshing ale; it’s a testament to the local vibrant and booming craft beer scene.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a beautiful golden amber, Blood & Honey greets you with a subtle aroma of sweet honey and a hint of citrus. The first sip is a delightful surprise. While the name might suggest a heavy sweetness, it is remarkably balanced. The honey provides a smooth, soft sweetness that’s quickly followed by a gentle spiciness from the natural blood orange zest and other spices. The body is light to medium, making it incredibly drinkable.
The Perfect Pairing
This ale’s unique flavor profile makes it versatile for food pairings. The honey notes are a fantastic match for spicy dishes, like barbecue brisket or street tacos, as they help cool the heat. Its crisp finish also works well with lighter fare, such as grilled chicken or a fresh salad.
