Downtown Joe'sThis brewpub was just a few blocks from the B&B. We stopped by on our last trip and got a tour of the brewing area, so when we decided to come back to Napa this stop was a must! |

India Pale AleIPA's aren't our favorite, and this one lived up to our expectations. Overhopped, with a very light malt flavor. We didn't even bother to finish the sampler glass. |

India Pale Ale (from the beer engine)A true enigma - this beer was reportedly the same as the one above, but it tasted completely different. The warmer temperature seemed to balance to overall flavor, and made this a genuinely enjoyable brew. |

|
Lickety Split LagerThis beer was extremely light with no hop finish. It may be a good lawn-mower beer, but probably isn't good for anything else. |
|
|
Tale Waggin' AleThis light/medium ale was lightly hopped, and was an enjoyable drink. A good beer for the summer months. |
|
|
Past Due Dark AleVery malty, good body, perfectly balanced hop flavor. This complex beer was one of our favorites. |
|
|
Golden Thistle BitterTo our taste, this was severly overhopped for a bitter. The hops detracted from whatever bitter style was present, and we couldn't even finish the sampler glass. |

|
Slipknot StoutThis dark beer had a nice, roasted barley flavor and nose. It was prepared in the classic stout style. |
