Did you know that Oklahoma has several
masses? I do! And over the next few issues, I’ll
us so we can bring more visibility and support
to them and continue to help them grow and
producing great products. This month I’m enjoying
some quality brews from Choc Beer Company of
Krebs, OK. Check out their story and beer line-up
at www.chocbeer.com.
Pietro Piegari
(Amber Ale)
In case you’re
curious, Pietro
Piegari is the name
of the man responsible
for bringing Choc to life prior to
changing his name
to Pete Prichard
when he was 14yrs
old. Read more
history on their site
as it’s quite a great
story. This amber ale
pours a cloudy light
head that dissipated
slowly but eventually left leaving little lacing. Wafts
hops greet your nose. Flavors open up to more
caramelized sweetness, hints of nutty grain, and
wisps of a grapefruit like hop tartness, lending to a
hooked me as a Choc fan.

rather quick leaving some
patchy lacing behind.
The aroma is grain,
citrus notes, and
very faint spice.
Taste brings more
of the same, citrus
tartness with a light afterthought
of apple. Wheat grain
and slight sweet malt, with not too much bitter hop
become a quick favorite of mine, even though I’m
not a big wheat fan, so that’s saying something!
