Finally had a chance to visit the brewery up there in Boonville, and damn it's awesome. They have a full-on visitor's center with a bar and maybe 15 taps. The brewery itself looks pretty sweet. Although I wasn't there at the right time for the tour, the huge windows in their brewhouse nicely show off their huge copper mash/lauter tuns and kettles. Cool. They also have disc golf, which I've never played (since I'm not a filthy, stinky hippy) but now I kinda want to because I realized it fits nicely into my favorite category of sports:

Back to the beer.
Wee Geech, I'm told, is
Boontling for
little sex, or
a quicky. I also found out that Poleeko is the Boontling word for Philo, the town up the road from Boonville. So there you go.
Wee Geech is a pale ale that could cross over into IPA territory. It's a pale yellow ale with a nice lacy head. It's got a terrific sharp spicy hop nose and some slightly clovey spice. Ther's some subtle orange oil. The light/medium bodied beer has a sharp, mouth drying hop bitterness that lingers so delightfully on the back palate. I loved this beer.
8 out of 10.
