Harpoon does a decent job. Sam Adams varies year to year, this year was good, but often it's just midling level. Most smaller locals don't actually do an official Oktoberfest, going instead for a harvest beer. These usually involve more complex grains like rye. Exploring is best, spend some time at the Blanchard's in JP, which has a better selection than the one by your place, and experiment!
Does it? I parked by it today but I didn't go in. It was probably closed by the time I left though anyways. I tend to prefer the smaller companies and lean towards buying those since I like to support them more. If that's all I see for a fest beer, I'll probably buy one just to try it.
Should reviews of malt liquors &/or other malt beverages go in this thread? Or be a separate thread altogether? IE: Beverages like Natty Daddy, Stack 9.9% Lager, Entc Ent al!
Exactly! That's why I was asking first. They're "beerish" to a degree, but NOT the same species. I guess if beer & ale are sharks, malt liquors & beverages would be rays.
Guinness Extra Stout tonight, I find it to be a nice creamy flavor with roasted flavor, and finishing with a hint of red wine/black cherry and a pleasant medium bitter aftertaste.
Actually they are beer, just stronger. Actually Mike's hard lemonade is beer, look at label, it says, "Flavored Beer" ..
Yep. Mike's lemonades, the Smirnoff "stuff", and even wine coolers are all (or mostly) "malt beverages".
Yeah I have had that "Steel Reserve" before, It is NASTY.. but hobo's like it and college kids cause it's 8.1% alcohol. Enough to keep a hobo warm, and a 24 ounce can is only 69 cents at Kroger.
Ahh a Miller/ Coors product.. Don't believe me,, Check Here http://www.millercoors.com/our-beers/great-beer.aspx You'll see some beers that may shock you..
Beer Review #192 (First review on the NEW board) Beer: San Miguel: Brewed Since: 1890 by Polo Brewery, Valenzuela City, Manila. Philippines Type of beer: Pilsner Color: Pale yellow Smell: Very sweet smell like cereal Taste: Sweet at first then hints of bitter Drinkability: Don't like the bitter aftertaste. Overall: If it's this beer or nothing, I guess it's ok, It leaves a weird aftertaste in your mouth. Not to cheap either, my solo bottle was 3 bucks, so I'll pass.
Found me an oldie but a goodie today, My grandpa used to drink this, he had a fridge in his garage full of this beer. YES they still make it. It's a Pabst brand now.
Beer review #193 Beer: Stiegl Goldbrau Premium Lager: Brewed Since: 1816 by Stiegl Brewing company, Salzburg, Austria Type of Beer: Golden Lager Color: Dark gold Smell: Clean, almost no smell at all Taste: Sweet grainy taste, very good Drinkability: Very smooth, my 16 ounce bottle didn't last long Overall: Beer of a bygone era, in what looked like a well used beer bottle. NOT east to get at all, and quite expensive. But worth trying, and if you can get it, worth buying.
I doubt I'll ever come across this, but I'll keep it in mind. When it comes to Austria, I prefer Bohemia.
I do have small hands, but otherwise, I'd say no. It's not as though they're manicured or anything. Also, that's a friggin' oil can, its massiveness no doubt distorts the rest of the image.
