Napa Smith Brewery

WE ARE OPEN!!!!!!!

Whew. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears, but we are finally brewing the best craft beer in the nation. With a lot of help from a lot of great people, the Napa Smith Brewery is officially up and running.

We have decided to release three types of beer for your enjoyment.

Our Amber Ale is rich and complex. It starts out slightly sweet, and progresses to a clean dry finish. It is a full bodied beer that you can serve with a hearty cut of meat, spicy barbeque or Thai food.

Our Pale Ale is medium - bodied with fragrant aromas with just a hint of caramel. Try this one with some nachos and a burger when you are watching the Super bowl with your friends.

Napa Smith Wheat beer has a light and clean taste that is characteristic of this style. We have added special ingredients to accentuate the aromas beyond the hops and malt to insure a spicy, floral aroma with a light crisp finish. Serve this with a grilled piece of fresh fish or pork chops.

As we progress, we will be introducing new styles of beer to the family, and also some seasonal releases for your trial.

We look forward to having you join the Napa Smith Family of beer enthusiasts, and will be updating you on our progress.

Please go to the membership tab on the web page to join our Beer Club, for free, and automatically receive our newsletter.

Cheers!

Recipe of the month:

Beer boiled prawns

1 lb of 16-20 prawns, shell on
1 bottle of Napa Smith Amber Ale
Juice of 1 lemon freshly squeezed (you can use the bottled stuff, but it won’t taste the same)
25 black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
5 sprigs of Italian flat leaf parsley (the curly leaf parsley is good for garnished only, and does not add flavor)

Add all of the ingredients except the shrimp to a pot, and bring it to a boil.
Add the shrimp and boil for 3-4 minutes, or until they all just turn pink. (DO NOT OVERCOOK SHRIMP, OR I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE)
Remove from heat, and immediately rinse under cold water for about 1-2 minutes.

Chill in the refrigerator until cold all the way through.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and your favorite glass of ice cold Napa Smith Beer. Enjoy life.
