Goose Island – Honker’s Ale
This is a beer from a brewery in Chicago. I really enjoyed this beer as it had great flavor and wasn’t bitter. I’ve never had a Goose Island beer and won’t hesitate to try another based on the flavor and experience from this one. I highly recommend this beer if you’re able to find it… → Read More
St. Bernardus Pater 6
Presenting the fourth and final beer from the St. Bernardus four-pack: Pater 6. I wanted to drink this a lot sooner but I haven’t been feeling great this week. It’s another good one, but this one ranks third out of the four St. Bernardus beers. Abt 12 was my favorite, followed by Prior 8, Pater… → Read More
Stella Won’t You Take Me Home
I don’t have one beer that is my absolute favorite, but this beer is currently one of my all time favorites! I will never turn down a Stella. This beer has great flavor and isn’t too sweet or too bitter. If you haven’t had one, head over to the Tambu lounge at the Polynesian Resort… → Read More
Abita Jockamo IPA
Since LSU is playing in the Cotton Bowl tonight I held off from drinking the last St. Bernardus and instead picked up a Jockamo IPA from Abita. The name is based on a song called “Iko Iko” about two “tribes” of Mardi Gras Indians. “Iko Iko” has been played by many bands but The Dixie… → Read More
Hofbräu Hefe Weizen for the Win!
I’ve always wanted to try a hofbräuhaus beer and I finally got to tonight. I wasn’t disappointed. Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a big fan of hefe weizen. This is one of my favorites. It’s a pretty sweet beer and no bad after taste. It was actually kind of refreshing! I can’t wait… → Read More
St. Bernardus Tripel
Tonight I’m having the third of the St. Bernardus four-pack. It’s their Tripel, and it’s definitely the weakest of the three so far in my opinion. I also preferred the Petrus Tripel from New Year’s Eve to this one despite Petrus’ extreme foaminess. One more St. Bernardus beer to go!
St. Bernardus Abt 12
It’s shaping up to be a St. Bernardus week here. Tonight’s brew is Abt 12, and it’s dark and delicious. A wonderful beer to sip while you watch your wife’s new Roomba vacuum (that’s what I did). Abt 12 has a wheat-like scent and a great taste; sweet, bitter and a bit of an alcoholic… → Read More
Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen
Saw this in the refrigerator at Total Wine and was really hoping it would taste similar to Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I was let down. This isn’t one of my favorites.
Sea Dog Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale
I wanted to like this beer…I really did. But I just couldn’t do it. The initial taste of the beer was meh. Nothing to write home about. The aftertaste though made up for it slightly, but it tasted like I had just eaten a blueberry muffin, but not what a beer should taste like. Strange…. → Read More
St. Bernardus Prior 8
Today after work I picked up a sampler four-pack of St. Bernardus beers; the pack also included a St. Bernardus trappist glass. First up from this sampler pack is Prior 8. It’s an excellent brew with a bit of a sweet taste and very drinkable with an 8% alcohol content. Just what I need after… → Read More
