Dovetail Brewery S Tour Serves Up A Potent Look At The Art Of Making Craft Beer

 A water tasting on a brewery tour would usually seem beside the point—the point, of course, being to  drink beer. But when you’ve already got a lager in one hand and a hefeweizen is on its way, drinking a little water doesn’t sound so bad. 

 The hefeweizen is another good warm-weather beer, with plenty of citrus that balances out the sweet banana and spicy notes of clove and cinnamon. The rauchbier is full-bodied but not heavy and smells remarkably like smoky bacon—which might suggest pandering to the undying bacon trend if rauchbier weren’t a couple thousand years old.
