Native nations consider this site sacred, and tie prayer cloths to trees along the trail surrounding the tower. Visitors are asked not to touch or photograph those, and I apologize if you see any in this picture. I tried my best to avoid photographing them.
Devils Tower got its name in 1875 by a white explorer. Native nations call the site Bear's Lodge or Bear's House and do not like the name Devils Tower. Several attempts to formally change the name to Bear Lodge have been met with opposition in Congress.
We've been to Wyoming many times over the years, but this was our first trip to Devils Tower.

One of my favourite aspects of this layout was the blurred layers effect, which was achieved with graphic design (as versus in the website's code). An additional side column pops up as needed, and appears to "blur" the chicken butt behind it, as in the main section. If and when I resurrect my domain, I will use this layout again.
Devil's Canyon Brewing Company - Belmont, California USA
Bière Brut (ABV 6%)
[Suggested Glassware: Flute]
Rating: 3.1/5.0
Aroma: 6/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 13/20
The pour was a sparkling clear pale yellow with a small (less than 1 finger) white fizzy head that diminished in a matter of seconds, and had virtually no lacing at all.
The aroma was of a light grain malt, mild grassy hops and a musty horse blanket yeast with notes of citrus (lemon) and green apple.
The taste was a tad sweet and lightly grainy with a good fruity presence early on, becoming a bit yeasty and very lightly bitter with a hint of citrus and a funky fruity ending. The flavor lasted a very short time proceeding the swallow, with a funky fruity grain aftertaste lingering on for a short while longer.
Mouthfeel was extremely light in body and watery in texture with a strong fizzy champagne like carbonation.
Overall I found this to be a very interesting style of beer. It is a lot like a fizzy light ale, but not, with a nice fruity undertone. I am not a big fan of Champagne, so this is a perfect substitute to have on hand for those holiday toasts...
