Beer 124 - Pyramid Juggernaut Red Ale

Pyramid Brewing is an interesting company. It is a group of four alehouses and a brewery in Seattle, WA. Originally a small public company with a wide range of beers, Pyramid was bought out by Independent Brewers United York in 2008 and the by North American Breweries in 2010. Wikepedia says "North American Breweries is a new parent corporation established by New York City investment firm KPS Capital Partners to manage its brewery acquisitions: Genesee Brewing Company, Dundee Brewing Company, Pyramid, Magic Hat, and MacTarnahan's." The original company - Hart Brewing, formed in 1984 - claims Pyramid Pale Ale produced in 1984 was one of the first American micro brews.

This beer is a seasonal beer brewed by Pyramid, probably in Seattle.  It was Bought at HEB Grocery and drunk at home in Katy, TX after a grocery shopping trip to Walmart.

An interesting and pleasant taste.  I guess there is a hint of red in the light brown color.  The beer has a malty caramel hint in the taste that makes it pleasant to drink and easy to enjoy with the cheese and biscuits I pulled out of the fridge.
