Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Firehouse Brewery Beers

Over the years there have been multiple brewing companies with the name Firehouse Brewery, so to be clear, I'm talking about the defunct brewery which operated out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, more than a decade ago as of this writing. Too bad they're no longer with us, because they made some pretty good beers. Below are my notes for two such beers.

Firehouse Brewery Kolsch Lager
Beer score: 8.0

Had the color, smoothness, and texture of a white ale. Pretty smooth with a slight tartness that was quite enjoyable. I tend to like "white" beers and this was one of the best, so too bad it no longer exists from this brewery, which is out of business.

Firehouse Brewery American Ale
Beer score: 5.9

Wet and smooth with a smoky bitterness that took a few drinks to get used to. Had a weak lager quality. Not bad, so again, it's unfortunate this brew is no longer around.
