Berkeley Beer Review: He'Brew Genesis Ale

"This is one red sea I am down to cross."

Nationality and beer are not always synonomous, unless of course you're Irish. Either way, modern companies are making it ethnic these days, including Tsing Tao, Asahi Super Dry, Fosters, and San Francisco's He'Brew Genesis Ale

Name: Genesis Ale, by He'Brew the Chosen Beer.
Location of Brewery: San Francisco and New York
Where Can You Buy: Berkeley Bowl, Andronico's, Fred's Market,
Mini-Bio: It's an amber ale, pretty crispy, but nothing about it necessarily tastes Jewish. And it has this cute cartoon of what looks like Raffi holding two brews.

Taste: ****
Ease of getting drunk: ***
Coolness of label: **** (its like saying "Kiss Me, I'm Jewish. And wasted.")
Likelihood of finding these in Berkeley parties: * (though probably higher at AEPi)
Cultural richness factor: **** (unless you're a Gentile)
