Beer of the Week: La Roja
Flemish. Dexter. Pumpkin. Three words you wouldn’t typically associate with great beer, but this week, The Hopleaf’s Michael Roper is looking to his native state of Michigan – specifically, the town of Dexter – where the Jolly Pumpkin Brewery is producing some really interesting beers, all of which are barrel-fermented and barrel-aged (incidentally, they also have cafes and breweries in Ann Arbor and Traverse City). Today’s BOTW is a Flemish amber style beer that Roper says pairs really well with just about any kind of main course. Cheers.
