Last Saturday’s rose scholar event was a visit to Ithaca Beer Co which is right outside downtown. It took us around 20 min to get to the company by taxi. I have been to one spirit company back in my home country but I have never paid a visit to a beer company before. I have to say this is an interesting one.

When I actually saw the building of the beer company outside, it seemed more or less just like a factory. But when we walked in, I was surprised to literally see a restaurant inside, as you can see from the the photo below. Besides beer I think they also have sandwiches and burgers. It’s a really nice restaurant and I do like the style of it.

Then we walked in the workshop. There are several big sliver containers and machines to process the beer. We were first introduced with different kinds of ingredients used to produce beer. The green one like beans (I forgot its name) has a strong smell which is like a kind of the beer that we tasted afterwards.

After shown how the beer is processed, we have a chance to taste beer. I really like the first one which is light and not so strong. Although I clearly know too much alcohol is not a good thing, sometimes I think it, however, might help to release pressure.

Finally, as the thanksgiving break is coming to an end and we will soon be back to work, wish everyone a good start after thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of the break!
