Northern Lights Brewing Company, Spokane



We tried 10 beers. One was OK, seven were fair to poor and two were outstandingly, horribly very bad:

The Blueberry Ale tasted like K-mart brand blueberry pop with a spoonful of baking soda added. The beertender said it was even better when mixed with the coffee stout.

We declined to destroy a good beer to make a bad beer taste OK.

. . . and the one that was so bad I let no one else taste it was a "Whiskey Sour Dunkel Bock." Take one left-over Black Velvet Whiskey Sour and mix it with a stout beer. As bad as it sounds.
Extreme brewing can go too far.

Sorry, they don't even have a web page to link to for the beer descriptions.
