Had some of the 'new' Bluegrass Brewing Company - Bourbon Barrel Stout. Apparently it is no longer "Jefferson's Reserve" brand, just some unnamed bourbon barrels to age in. A slight difference in taste, not as much vanilla or cherry, but the same, correct, perfect, amount of wood and smoke flavor at the end.

Instead of a 4.5/5 for the Jefferson's Reserve, I'll give this one a 4.3/5

 

Had some more Jolly Pumpkin the other night - pretty good as expected. Like a sour Flemish stout.

Madrugada Obscura "Dark Dawn" – A Belgian inspired stout that is as dark as a moonless midnight, brimming of roasted malts and bitter hops. It will keep you good company in all places, be thay light or dark. 8.1% Alc./Vol.

MMM I must try the Wild One Ale - that's right up my alley.

 

Introduced my wife to Newcastle Brown Ale. I'm a fan and she "really" liked it. She also said it tasted a bit like Corona; anyone else think so?

 

LOL, WHAT?

Not even close! lmao this is funny.

 

She even mentioned trying it with a lime...honest.

 

dear God.....


please, people, no more fruits in beer!

The bottle comes with a cork or sorts, because it's more of a tasting experience than "drinking a beer."

No orange slice in your Blue Moon?

 

New Belgium Hoptober.

kind of impressed, as I usually don't like a) New Belgium beers, b) hoppy beers, or c) beers with stupid names. but this one works!

Let's keep tradition here, fellas.

My friend bought me a 6er of this as a house warming gift. I agree, I like it.

Not bad; a bit sweet for me.

I recently moved into a different neighborhood and the Publix down the street has quite the selection; picked up some this for the weekend

Nice and crisp, especially during the heat of the day.

No Moly Ex distributed here in Michigan... and it is my favorite North country brew.
It has such a crisp-now flavor, followed by an aftertaste that just smacks right.

 

It is one of the few Canadian beers I like.
My friend has a nice co2 setup at a perfect 34 degrees

 

6 pack of Wernesgruner Pils in the fridge. Picked it up for $5 at Aldi's...
Billed as one of the worlds oldest breweries.

All in all pretty good pils, nothing too special but a solid beer. Great value, recommend it.

 

I'll be in Dusseldorf for Oktoberfest. I'm scared.

 

I bought a "Bavarian man" costume for Oktoberfest this year.
It rocks!
