Light at the end of the Beer Aisle

#346 Bells Third Coast Old Ale – MI Another good beer from Bells. The is dark ale is full of malt and hops flavor and goes down smooth. Very enjoyable.

#347 Lagunitas Pils CA – This pilsner beer is has great hoppy flavor. Very refreshing taste and a nice amber color.

#348 Laguinitas Maximus IPA – Super Hoppy beer. The flavor hits you as soon as you open the bottle. Really great taste but you must like hops!

Ho Ho Ho and away we go!

So close I can taste it. I caught a duplicate way back at number 269 so there is now two 343 to recover and may sure I have the right number of beers. This stuff happens when you drink this much!!!!

#343 Red Oval Lager – WI – This is a pretty light beer that I picked up at Trader Joes. I just liked the can and had never heard of it. Not bad flavor.

#344 Lagunitas Brown Shugga CA- As the name states this is a dark brown beer that tastes like brown sugar. It was too sweet for me.

#345 Mendocino Imperial IPA CA- A reddish brown beer with a nice hoppy flavor. The flavor can be a bit overpower though if you are looking for a more subtle flavor.

Cheers and More Beers!

Happy Thanksgiving to All

# 341 Fullers London Porter, UK - This is a nice porter with the good smokey flavor and a nice nutty taste to it. It is very dark and almost appeared flat as it had very little head to it.

#342 Bells Cheery Stout, Bells Brewing MI - This beer has a distinct cheery flavor to it that at first is nice but then becomes overpowering. By the end of the beer all I could taste was the cheeries. Not my type of stout.

#343 Widmer Drifter Pale Ale, Widmer Brewing OR - This is a nice ale with a good hoppy flavor and nice amber color.

Cheers and more Beers!

Less than 30 to go

#338 Edison Ale- New Century Brewing PA, This beer is very light and refreshing. Something for a hot summer day or after a nice hike.

#339 Leinenkugels Fireside Nut Brown, Leinenkugels WI - A nice dark brown ale with a nutty malty flavor.

#340 Winter Hook Winter Ale - Red Hook Brewing NH - This ale has a nice malty hoppy mix. It is a dark ale with very good flavor. For some reason I think this brewery is owned by one of the big beer companies but I am not 100% sure. I will look into it and report back...because I am sure you care. LOL

Cheers and more beers!

337 Bottles of beer on the wall

Oh yeah less than 30 beer to go! What will my final beer be?

#335 Monty Python Holy Ale, Black Sheep Brewing NY - This was a good beer. I bought it just because I am a Monty Python fan and was curious. It had a nice brown color with good flavor.

#336 Brookly Brewing Black Chocolate Stout, NY - This beer was consumed while eating a nice NY strip steak. The dark chocolate flavor went well with the steak. This was a smooth beer with that roasted malt flavor that every good stout has. Very enjoyable.

#337 Bells Sparkling Ale - MI This beer was not as sparkling as I thought it was going to be. It has more of a Belgian ale taste that I thought was a bit overpowering. May just be due to the fact I was not expecting that flavor in this beer.

Cheers and more beers!

Beer, beer, beer!

Here are the next three on the list

#332 La Gunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale, CA - This is a very nice dark brown beer with a great malty taste. This is another one of those small shops that consistently puts out good beers.

#333 Winter Bourbon Cask Ale, Michelob MI - I forgot to take a picture of this beer, maybe it was because I did not like it. Not sure. This had a funky taste that I can't quite narrow down. This is a large beer company trying to make a micro style beer and it does not work.

#334 Dominion Baltic Porter, DE - This was a very good porter. It must be the night of big beer manufacturers because Dominion is now ownded by Bud. Luckly they have not forgotten how to make beer or massed produced away their flavor. I just wish they hadn't shut down their little brewpub. Oh well.

Cheers and more beers!

The Longest name ever

#329 Founders Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Breakfast Stout, MI - Yes, it does taste like breakfast. If you took coffee, chocolate pancakes, along with maple and brown sugar oatmeal you would have this beer. Full of flavor and possbile the darkest beer I have ever seen. This beer is really good and need to be drank in the middle of a blizzard. It will keep you warm and full. It is a meal in a glass.

#330 River Horse Triple Belgian Style- NJ - Be careful with this one because it has a kick like a horse. 10% alcohol content and full of that great Belgian taste. They brew it with yeast from Belgium to give it the authentic taste. They state that this beer will age well. I may have to put some in the closet and check back in a year or so. This is a very good beer from NJ.

#331 Duck Rabbit Brown Ale, NC - A very good beer with a dark brown color and excellent flavor. This has the hint of a porter taste too it that I really like. Again you cannot go wrong with Duck Rabbit Brewing.

Cheers and More Beers!
