Real Ale Full Moon Pale Rye Ale
Full Moon Pale Rye Ale is the third and final beer in the Real Ale sampler pack. Unexpectedly, this tastes more like an IPA than a pale ale. Spicy hops coupled with a bready rye taste make this a nice beer to drink. I enjoyed this much more than the Rio Blanco Pale Ale I… → Read More
Real Ale Rio Blanco Pale Ale
Tonight I’m drinking the second of three beers in the Real Ale sampler: Rio Blanco Pale Ale. Smooth, kinda light, the flavor is a bit lacking though. Drinkable, but nowhere near something like a Widmer Drifter. A bit disappointed with the White River.
Heavy Seas Classic Lager
When in Maryland….this is a tasty Baltimore label. Smooth drink…not too hoppy. I’d definitely pick this up again.
Coolest Car Ever!
We stopped at a local beer & wine shop in Maryland and saw this car. Not only was it my favorite color; it even has a tap built in! Shock Top beer is great too!
Real Ale Brewhouse Brown Ale
No Irish beer tonight unfortunately but I am drinking from an Irish glass (my parents got a pair of them for me when they visited Ireland). Instead I present Brewhouse Brown Ale, the first of three Real Ale brews from the sampler pack I mentioned in the Sisyphus article. I sometimes use Abita beers as… → Read More
Samuel Adams – Irish Red
On this St. Patrick’s Day I had hoped I had a left over Harp in the fridge. No go. BUT…I did have an Irish Red waiting to celebrate the day. It’s a malty ale with a caramel flavor to it.
Kronenbourg 1664
It’s been a looooooonnggg day. I have been working for months on National Bracket Day, to encourage people to fill out brackets today. Been up since 4 am today. So this Kronenbourg is my reward for a hard day, and man is it good. It’s a lighter lager, and very smooth. You can find this… → Read More
Real Ale Sisyphus 2008 and 2010
A couple of weeks ago, Lindsay, Jackie, and I took a trip to the Flying Saucer to complete our portions of a project coming soon to Beers and Ears. After doing so, we all decided to have one more; I chose Sisyphus 2008 by Real Ale Brewing Co. in Blanco, TX. This 10% ABV beer… → Read More
Bedele – Ethiopian Beer at Jiko
Katie and I ate at Jiko last night and I had a chance to try an Ethiopian beer called Bedele. It was light, smooth and had a great flavor. Give it a try if you are there on your next trip!
Abita Ale Turbodog
From the Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian. I’ve never seen this beer before so I thought I’d give it whirl. I wasn’t expecting a dark beer; I typically don’t like dark beers. This one was a pleasant surprise and goes down with a good flavor. I would get this again.
