312 Urban Wheat Ale
Another fine beer from the Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago, IL). It’s described as “Citrus hop aromas, a fruity ale flavor, and a creamy body make 312 as satisfying as it is refreshing.” This is a smooth beer that I find very enjoyable. And for those who don’t know or didn’t guess… 312 is one… → Read More
Goose Island Honker’s Ale
Another sampling from the great city of Chicago. Previously posted by Ed, this is a Honker’s Ale, brewed by Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago, IL). In their own words Honker’s Ale is “an English style bitter that strikes perfect balance between fruity hop notes and biscuity malt flavor, Honker’s Ale delivers a classic taste in… → Read More
Carlsberg in Norway
Our first official stop while Drinking Around the World was La Cava del Tequila where I started off with a tequila flight. I’ll skip that review and just move right along to Norway! Stopped off at the beer kiosk and we all grabbed a Carlsberg. Apparently Carlsberg is actually from Denmark, and NOT Norway. No… → Read More
Harp Lager
While I was at the store today, I picked up a six-pack of Harp. Knowing that it’s one of Ryan’s favorite beers, I was hoping for good things. It poured a nice golden color with a head that dissipated fairly quickly. However, on my first sip I could only think of one thing: Bud Light…. → Read More
Black and Tan
Enjoying a fabulous Black and Tan at a dive bar in NYC 🙂 Almost as good as a Black Velvet!
Warsteiner, Blue Moon, Strongbow and Longboard
Tonight’s selections from the Taco Mac? I began with a Warsteiner, a fine lager with a hint of bitter, while the wife stuck with Ol’ Reliable, her favorite Blue Moon. Second? She decided on a Strongbow Cider. Me? I went with a longtime fave from the Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian – Longboard! It’s a… → Read More
Taco Mac – Beer Lovers Heaven
Just down the street from my house, and in locations across the wide expanse of metro Atlanta lies Taco Mac. It is a beer lover’s paradise. Here’s a picture of only the draught beer menu. There’s nearly 100 beers on tap. Try double that available in bottles. And people wonder why we love coming here…. → Read More
Birra Moretti La Rossa
Before officially starting to Drink Around the World, lunch at Via Napoli was necessary… as was a little La Rossa! Had a stronger hoppy flavor than what I was expecting, but we liked it. It went really well with the pizza. Since I mainly had only light apps though, it was slightly too heavy with… → Read More
Abita Restoration Pale Ale
Abita Restoration Pale Ale holds a special place in my heart. It’s a good beer but the reason behind it is even better. In 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita barreled into the southeast and southwest coasts of Louisiana respectively. With this beer, Abita raised over $500,000 for hurricane relief. Since then it’s become a regularly… → Read More
Abita Purple Haze and an Announcement
Tonight’s beer of choice is Abita Purple Haze. It’s a raspberry wheat beer; the scent and the front end of the taste definitely lets you know raspberries were added to the beer. The back end has a wheaty, grainy taste. Purple Haze is very cloudy with an almost grapefruit-like color. Honestly, this isn’t my favorite… → Read More
