The Tudor Pub in South Lake Tahoe
Continuing my Lake Tahoe brewpub explorations I came across a prototypical British pub, dark, with one of the largest selections of craft beer I had seen in the area. The Tudor Pub, an upstairs addition to the Fremont Bistro and Wine bar, was lively with bikers and tourists who had either been frequenting the pub for years or heard about it through a Tahoe local.

The pub patrons seemed to take over the outdoor lawn/patio fitted with white tables and chairs, so my posse of beer drinkers took over the patio and had a look at their beer menu. I decided to venture inside to peek at the tap wall and made the trek upstairs into the main pub. The bar top was filled from side to side with Tahoans drinking pints of English Ale and Irish Stout.
I asked the bartender if they had any unique beers that I may not have had before in other places, so he showed me a few English Ales. The first was the Duchy Originals Organic English Ale.

The beer had a great hoppy and malty flavor with a distinctive English yeast taste. The undertones were of caramel and toffee, which I always love. The bottle had a really cool label with a very prideful logo displaying the organic barely and hops that make up this wonderful Ale. This organic ale was a great mid-day treat for sitting outside in the cool Tahoe air.

My Father-in-Law to be, a.k.a Johny Boy, joined me with a Fullers London Pride Outstanding Pale. I didn’t try it, but he definitely gave it a thumbs up and said it had a great finishing flavor. All-in-all both of these English beers were a hit and I would recommend ordering them if you ever get the chance.
