I received an e-mail from the Lough folks and still haven’t gotten any beer. Oh well.
Thanks for the review, it satisfied my curiousity.

@Lost…the funny thing is, the conversation was taking place on twitter! Especially in an industry like craft beer, word of mouth is the best advertising…that con only happen if you can subtly get you product in the hands of the community

@Scott Thanks for the info…That is pretty interesting. I noticed that there were different ABV levels depending on whether you live in the States or the UK. Glad you like the pictures…I’m having fun taking them.

I know I’m biased, but I can’t think of a cheaper or more effective way to advertise than sending samples to us beer bloggers. (hint hint any beer makers)

Anyway, (nice to see pictures too!) I agree and liked the Legbiter better as well.

The beer itself seems to have Irish ingredients, but the ingredients are shipped here to the States where it is brewed and bottled in New York under contract. So, its sort of Irish and sort of American. Nothing wrong with that. Kona brews in New Hampshire because its cheaper than shipping beer to the East Coast from Hawaii and I suppose the same is true for this beer.

That’s a ridiculous argument. Social media is quickly becoming the most powerful marketing tool available.

I have a feeling that more and more companies will be turning to bloggers to help promote their product. If a company stands by their product and believes it to be a good product, they should have no problem promoting it this way.

Thanks Lost,
Yeah its a decent session beer.

Interestingly, I was reading an argument that said a brewery sending beer to a beer blogger is a waste of money. I don’t think so. Even if only a couple hundred people read the review, that could be the start of some very exponential growth.

Thanks for stopping by!

Man, the folks at Stragford Lough spared no expense in sending every single one of us beer bloggers a sample of this stuff. This is probably the 10th review I’ve read and all of us are saying very similar things. In general, everyone likes the Legbiter better.

Good job staying open minded!
