Micro-breweries are places to gather with friends and enjoy
each other’s company along with a good specialty beer. I like beer. In Moscow,
Idaho there is a relatively new micro-brewery called Hunga Dunga Brewing
Company that has replaced an old nursery where I used to buy many of the rose
bushes I now have in my back yard. This year for Shrove Tuesday I went there
for the first time with my good friend and colleague, Doug Richards. His wife,
Shannon, met us there for the bar snacks that we turned into dinner. Some other
friends came in and we all drank beer and ate snacks from the menu. If you want
to go there you need to go for the beer. The menu is very limited and all
considered snack food to go with your beer. It can get kind of spendy and,
unless you order everything on the limited menu (like we did) you aren’t going
to get full. The beers are all great so far as I could tell. I’m an ale man and
I was impressed by a Black IPA and another IPA. I had a pale ale and samples of
Winter Ale and Pumpkin Ale all of which were quite nice. I also had samples of
an oatmeal stout and another light oatmeal beer. It seemed to me that there was
an offering of every type of beer for everyone’s palate. The atmosphere was
congenial and the crowd was eclectic. We all had a good time and I can see
myself going back soon. It fits into my category of a good micro-brewery. And
like I said, I like beer. I’m thankful for micro-breweries.
