This beer is sort of homeless in a sense. The website itself describes the beer as Dutch with a Flemish touch. Although it is technically from Belgium, it is made in a Dutch Trappist brewery. Here is the very interesting website for this beer. This beer is a monster, as far as alcohol is concerned [...]
Normally I include a link to the official website to the brewery, but this one is in German. So, I’m giving another site which gives good information about the brewer/beer. The beer itself is pretty low in alcohol content, being 3.1%. When I poured this beer it had some nice head retention. Man, was this beer [...]
We write about beer a ton on this site. You probably taste a good amount of beer if you visit our site. I’m sure you love beer. But have you ever brewed beer? We normally don’t talk about brewing beer on this site because it is not our aim to be about home brewing. Still, I want [...]
Whew…it has been a rough couple of days. Thank heaven I had the ole Burning River to see me through a couple of nights. Let’s face it…the shelves of stores that sell fine beer (especially the domestic sections) are overloaded with pale ales. It seems the cliche beer to brew is any overly hopped ales. [...]
I love a good Porter. In fact, I really like Meantime’s London Porter. I love good coffee. But are they both good together? Well, this beer combines both to see if this is the case. Meantime Brewery is located in Greenwich, England, so their name is somewhat of a funny pun. You know what is not [...]
Here is another German beer for you sample. I saw some other reviews on beeradvocate that I found pretty widely dispersed. I guess this goes to show that we must taste these beers for ourselves to give it a rating. Each of us likes and tastes stuff differently. Well, Uerige apparently makes this beer specifically for [...]
This is one of what seems to be a billion beers that is imported by the Shelton Brothers. They have a link on their site to more information about the brewer as well as to the official website of the brewers themselves. They go on to describe that the brewery is in Franconia (which has [...]
For some time now I’ve been cellaring beers. Since I don’t have an actual cellar, I’ve been keeping some beers in a fridge at cellar temps. Some beers were meant for aging, others…not so much. Since beer is an organic product (as is wine) it changes with time, unlike Rum and other distilled spirits. I’m [...]
This week’s beer is a local (nearly) favorite of mine. It hales from the respectable and award winning Cleveland, Ohio brewery, Great Lakes Brewing Company. If the name of this brewery stirs up savory memories, you may be recalling the week we tasted their ambrosial Nosferatu. Burning River Pale Ale is truly moderately priced for [...]
Citrus added to beer can taste good, be refreshing, and help you get your vitamin C. Citrus can also ruin the experience of drinking a beer. For the most part, wheats are more delicate than other beers especially in their floral (hoppy) aspects, unless you are drinking Gumballhead by Three Floyds or another anomaly among wheats. So, [...]
