Rahr Angry Goat Dobble Bock
I love my boch beer, I like the heavy flavor and I love the malt with the easy light Hopps to back it up. It’s my kind of beer. So when I had Rahr’s Angry Goat, I found another beer that I was in hog heaven for its malty flavor. I have had this beer… Continue Reading
Lakewood Punkel Dunkel
Lakewood Brewery is located near Dallas in Garland. They have an interesting seasonal I encountered at Double Wide this weekend called Punkel. This is a Dunkel (Dark) beer with a lot of Malt and Pumpkin style spices in it. It’s a smooth beer to drink, smells like Fall and taste like pumpkin with spices of ginger,cinnamon,… Continue Reading
Peticolas Wintervention
Peticolas is a new micro brewery that popped up here in Dallas in 2009. Being a Dallasite myself, I am always wanting to support my local breweries and bars to imbibe in my glutenous consumption of beer. I have run into Peticolas a few times and this time decided to do a review. Since it is January,… Continue Reading
Craft and Growler Beer Station
I don’t usually do reviews of local bars, but I was impressed with one of Dallas’ newest beer joints, Craft and Growler ( who desperately needs a website, by the way). This bar is one of the new style beer joints popping up in Dallas that are focused on local Texas microbreweries and their… Continue Reading
Trappist Beer is out and you better get your ass into gear
Considered a must have beer that has been brewed for thousands of years by Belgian monks, this incredibly rare beer is finally, and very temporarily available in a special 6 pack in select states here in the U.S. It will probably be sold out by the time you read this, which sucks. And since I… Continue Reading
Franconia Dunkel Review
I’m a Dallasite and recently a local Dallas brewer arrived on the scene to start making German inspired beers. Franconia Brewery, as they are known makes several beers, including this Dunkel. I have tried a couple of their beers to date and have been underwhelmed thus far. On their site, they call their dunkel: “Dark… Continue Reading
Cuba Libre celebrates 110 years
While I am primarily a beer and wine drinker, I do enjoy my occasional liquor and one of my favorites is Bacardi Rum. I like the rum for its smooth flavor and easy drink ability. It is one of those liquors that goes down … Continue reading ?
Sam Adams The Vixen
Sam Adams just came out with a new line of beers which come in large 22oz bottles and creative patches for the art. The bottle catches your eye with its size and looks. The beer doesn’t disappoint either. While it was high in alcohol at 8.5% it had a smooth after taste with some heat. [...]
Shock-Top Belgium White Beer
I recently bought a 12 pack of this beer on my way to Taos, NM. I was looking for something different and enjoy Blue Moon so I thought I would try another companies version of a Belgian White. Problem is the beer is bland. If someone were watering down Blue Moon, this is what it [...]
Samual Adams defective glass bottle
Not sure if anyone else has had this happen but it bothered me enough to blog about it. I opened a new bottle of Sam Adams yesterday with a bottle opener and the cap came off with no problem. The problem was so did the lip of the bottle. Ive probably opened thousands of beers [...]
Cooper’s Lager Beer
I ate at Outback Steakhouse last night ( an Australian? Steakhouse chain) and decided to have a couple of Cooper’s Lager Beers. I actually thought it was a pretty decent beer. It had mild carbonization and nice amber color. The flavor was a little on the lighter site than I prefer, but it had a [...]
Miller Chill
I usually avoid reviewing larger American beer companies beers because I don’t think much of their products. They tend to be watered down and bland. John Cleese said it best, “American beer is like having sex in a canoe, it is the next closest thing to water”. Miller Chill is no exception, it is an [...]
Saint Arnold Lawnmower
Saint Arnold Microbrewery is out of Houston, Tx, which, since I am a Texan, makes me proud. Unfortunately this particular beer doesn’t have a Texas sized taste to it. It has a lot of carbonization and a decent malty flavor to it but it lacks a real punch in the flavor area. The brew master [...]
Hofbräu Dunkel
If you haven’t made to Munich, Germany and had the opportunity to visit the Hofbräuhaus I highly recommend it. I went 20 years ago and still remember the pleasant intoxicating experience. It was a large tavern style building and the beer was flowing, flowing, flowing. Hofbräu apparently means “beer of the court”, which is to [...]
Hornsby’s Hard Cider Amber Draft
Hornby’s Hard Cider is not quite beer but I does go through a similar process. It is a pale amber color and light on carbonization with not much of a head. It is a really easy cider to drink, if you’re into that sort of thing. Its has a mildy sweet flavor of apples [...]
Fat Tire Amber Ale
Fat Tire Amber Ale is brewed by New Belgium Brewing out of Colorado. It is a light clear amber in color and has a mildly sweet smell to it. It has a decent head but not too much. The real suprise is the flavor. It is a well balanced blend of malt and hops. You [...]
Foster’s Lager Beer from Australia
Foster’s Lager is a a nice full bodied beer from Australia ( though it is brewed by the Canadians, ehh!). It has a nice mid sized head and a decent flavor with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. It is nothing to write home about, especially if you are Australian. Apparently Foster’s may be Australian [...]
