Yesterday was the nicest day of the year in Seattle, and today is supposed to even more the bomb. I went to my 2nd BBQ of the season last night and I felt the urge for something crisp and fresh, like an outdoor piss, to accompany my Hebrew National beef frank. No, Pyramid Curve Ball doesn’t taste like piss. Haven’t you ever peed outside, in the mountains perhaps, and just stretched as you took in a deep breath as the cool wind brushed across your bare… nevermind.

The Mariners weren’t playing last night so I needed something else to put me in a state of delirium as well as give me the feel of the ballpark.

“Not your straight over the plate summer brew!

Inspired by the traditional Kölsch style beers of Cologne, Germany, Curve Ball boasts a clean, crisp slightly herbal taste and a lighter body. With its sporty packaging and refreshing taste, Curve Ball is the perfect accompaniment to summer grilling and ballpark outings. Try swingin’ at it on a hot summer day!”

Pyramid Ales are brewed locally in Seattle, right across the street from Safeco Field. After tasting this fine beer, I am wondering if Ichiro sweat some of his greatness into each bottle.

This Curve Ball was the shit. With 4.9% ABV it doesn’t hit your consciousness out of the park, but it provides an excellent buzz for kickin’ it in the sun around the BBQuizzle. I, however, got plenty fucked up after 7 of these babies and was saying shit I wasn’t supposed to… breakin’ people up… no big deal. They were bad for each other anyway.

Curve Ball has a nice, sunny taste and is brewed seasonally (March-Spetember). If you prefer heavier beers, A) get over yourself and B) try a Curve Ball in the sun. You won’t be disappointed.
