Bosco's Review

Bosco's Beer is a midtown Memphis tradition. This is the hippie/indie slightly edgey, but not too dodgey area of the city where you can get a hand crafted pint and chill on the patio if you don't mind the heat. To really frame it up for out of towners, I once saw 10 cop cars chasing a car on very large wheels while in a karaoke joint around the corner from this bar called 'Yosemite Sam's.' Another way of putting it would be to call it a smaller, less corporate, and cooler Upstream for you Flatwater folks.

With that, I recommend the Midtown Brown, or the Hefeweizen.

Midtown Brown

(2001 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner)
A classic English-style Nut Brown Ale. Sweet and malty with the nutty flavor of chocolate malt, this beer is flavorful yet easy to drink. Pairs well with many of our menu items. Excellent with all cheeses and foods with caramelized flavors.O.G. 1056 I.B.U. 28

This Hefe' may be my favorite and certainly is my answer to not being able to consistently find Boulevard Wheat down here. But don't take my, or their, words for it, come down to the south and have some shrimp and grits for brunch and a pint while soaking in the live blues on Sunday. Or, if you attend the GABF this fall in Denver be sure to look for them and sample their brews.
