I picked up a six pack of Mission St. Blonde Ale a couple of weeks ago from Trader Joes and I just happened to find one banging around the fridge last night. The bottle says the Mission St. is brewed by Stienhaus Brewing Co. which I am pretty sure is just a front for Trader Joes.
Our award-winning beer is crafted in small batches using only the finest all-natural hops and malted barley, resulting in a classic California blonde ale with remarkable flavor and freshness.
Regardless of who makes it Mission St. is a pretty standard blonde ale. It’s packing 4.4 ALC/VOL and a clear blonde color with almost no head. It’s got a slight apple juice flavor with just a little bit of bitterness at the end.
Honestly, Mission St. isn’t anything special but if you find yourself in Trader Joes and you are looking for a cheap beer that will go down easy than Mission St. isn’t a bad choice. It tastes like a microbrew blonde but it sits in your stomach like a standard Bud Light.
