Beer Review #3: Harpoon Brewery's Rec. League (hazy pale ale)
As a runner training for marathons, I naturally developed the 'post-workout beer drinking' habit. Beer always quenched my thirst quickly, and it has been a perfect reward for my hard, strenuous run.
When I began to be more mindful of what beer I should drink after work-outs, I learned about the performance beers at trendhunter.com. So, I grabbed the Rec. League hazy pale ale from Harpoon Brewery because it is a popular performance beer.
Overall, the beer is refreshing and a bit salty, hinting the beer's surplus of minerals. The light, crispy taste at the first gulp forced my throat to open for more beer. The smooth texture coated the interior of my mouth, tranquilizing my taste buds. It is perfect for the post-workout drink because of its low ABV and calories. The beer's high-mineral contents help the runners recover electrolytes lost via sweating , thereby preventing hyponatremia. Also, chia seeds and buckwheat included in the beer delivers a rich supply of nutrients, including omega-3, vitamin Bs, and antioxidants.
