very yeasty, enough to remind me of a homebrew.<br />
<br />
<b>Berkley IPA, 4</b><br />
i had not heard of this new nano-brewer until i saw it on the shelves. unfortunately it was watery and contained an off-note. i will give them another chance soon.<br />
<br />
<b>Blue Hills Bunker Buster IPA, 5</b><br />
not as flavorful as had hoped. nice to see them rolling out another hoppy offering though.<br />
<br />
<b>Cape Ann Fisherman’s Ale, 5</b><br />
i opt for fisherman's brew over the ale every time.<br />
<br />
<b>Clown Shoes Hoppy Feet, 7</b><br />
a little heavier than i would like but overall a solid american black ale.<br />
<br />
<b>Jack's Abby Hoponius Union, 7</b><br />
sold to me as an ipa, but not an ale at all. not a bad hoppy lager though.<br />
<br />

another new boston brewer! very dry but good take on french farmhouse style.<br />
<br />
<b>Pretty Things Meadowlark IPA, 8</b><br />
another great beer, but can't see myself shelling out $7 for this bomber too often.<br />
<br />
<b>Slumbrew My Better Half, 5</b><br />
an "imperial cream ale." a unique attempt for sure, but too sweet for my liking.<br />
<br />
<b>Slumbrew Trekker Tripel, 8</b><br />
an impressive tripel. authentic yet drinkable.<br />
<br />
<b>The Tap Three Graces, 4</b><br />
a pretty unpolished tripel.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-23422086806616173122012-11-24T16:22:00.000-05:002012-11-25T16:26:52.069-05:00Latin Foods and Local BrewsIn the Boston area at least, there seems to be some sort of beer festival taking place most every weekend. This is not a complaint.<br />
<br />
One that caught my eye though was "Latin Foods and Local Brews" this past weekend. Taking place at the Somerville armory, the festival offered area brewers, Mexican food, live music, and all the proceeds went to a charity called <a href="http://www.casaconnection.org/index.html" target="_blank">Casa Connection</a>! Now how can you beat that?<br />
<br />
With a low key atmosphere, very cool venue, and some excellent food and drink, I can give this one my full endorsement. Here come the ratings!<br />
<br />
<b>Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero, 8</b><br />
imperial stout with a beautiful pour. roasty chocolate does come through. was never blown away by clown shoes but i think a lot more of them after this one.<br />
<br />
<b>Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp, 8</b><br />
belgian ipa with burst of grapefruit flavor. another best in show nominee.<br />
<br />

dubbed a "Farmhouse IPA," which is fitting since it is both Belgian and American... aggressive hops cut by yeast... even better than their Biere de Champagne.<br />
<br />
<b>High & Mighty XPA, 3</b><br />
nothing to see here. again.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>John Harvard's Yellow Belly IPA, 6</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
not bad but a light ipa.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>John Harvard's Porter, 5</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
watery.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Rapscallion Concord Grape, 1</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
grape water.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>White Birch Farmhouse Red, 4</b><br />
plenty of brewers are hopping on the farmhouse bandwagon. but calling a muddled red a farmhouse is going too far.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>White Birch Hop Session, 7</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
a hoppy red. and solid. the best white birch beer i have tried yet.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>White Birch Oude Timey, 6</b><br />
a murky brown wild ale with decent sour bite up front. interesting.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-74100923303010185502012-10-15T20:56:00.001-04:002012-10-15T20:56:48.097-04:00Belgian Post, Part IIIObviously, we had more than 10 good beers on our trip.

bright color, sweet, with tangy wild yeast.<br />
<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Cantillon Bruocsella 100% Grand Cru, 6</b><br />
a straight lambic, the base for the other beers. more interesting than a well-composed beer. <br />
<br />
<b>Cantillon Faro, 7</b><br />
amber, low-carbonation and watery, flavor of caramel apple.<b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, 5</b><br />
cooked vegetables and sweet cherries battle in aroma and flavor. little off-putting, as you might imagine.<br />

well-hidden alcohol, potent yeast, flavorful.<b> </b><br />

Traveling throughout West Flanders, Kelly and I sampled a number of Flanders Red Ale's on our trip. My favorite came at Brugges' Cambrinus Restaurant. This was a classy place with very nice ambiance but unfortunately the staff were very pushy in an apparent effort to turn over tables. Both the beer and dinner menu were pretty classic and we went with a nice cheese board. Beautiful purple color to beer with light body. Fruity, sweet, sour -- bursting with flavor. Delicious and quenching.<br />

One of the activities I was most looking forward to was our tour of Cantillon. The world's highest rated Lambic brewer, to say Cantillon was a traditional brewer was a massive understatement. Our tour of the facility showed the lengths to which Cantillon would go to keep their beers wild -- ancient equipment, holes in the roof, spider webs throughout. This was a fascinating tour and equally cool, low-key setting to have a couple of beers. The Kriek is bright like Kool Aid and the cherries provide both sweet and sour elements. Wine-like base to beer is still present. As great a beer experience as you can have. <br />
<br />

't Brugs Bear is one of Belgium's truly elite beer bars alongside Brussels' Delerium Cafe (which we visited) and Antwerp's Kulminator (which we did not.) Best memorabilia we encountered and had that old pub feel I was looking for. Service was less impressive, but that was hardly unique. Sharp taste that is sour and tart. Most impressed with smooth feel and pitch perfect carbonation. This Gueuze managed to seem both aged and fresh. One of the best, no doubt.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Drie Fonteinen Kriek, 10</b><br />
On day two of our trip we took public transportation out to beautiful Beersel on the outskirts of Brussels. It was a hike but well worth the trip considering we also got a chance to see the impressive Beersel Castle. Drie Fonteinen is a close second to Cantillon in Lambic quality and operates a popular upscale yet homey family restaurant adjacent to its brewery. The best meal of our trip, I ordered the mussels and was not disappointed. We tried several excellent beers but my favorite was the Kriek. A beautiful purple with tinged head, tart/sour element,
and delicious sweet note. Having these world-class Lambics on tap
was incredibly special. <br />

...Which leaves us with the world's number one beer: Westvleteren 12. Westvleteren is a Trappist abbey well off the beaten path, so much so we had to rent a car to get there. While the brewery isn't open to the public, I had read that you could enter by joining this silent order of monks for prayer. Our visit revealed a very simple, tranquil spot... and even allowed us to leave with chocolate truffles made with the mythical 12! Across the street at the brewery's surprisingly modern In De Verde cafe we sat on a patio overlooking the hop
fields. A beautiful spot but for the exceptionally slow service, even for Belgium. We had panini's, salad, and ice
cream with fresh strawberries. The 12 pours a dark brown and comes in a beautiful chalice glass. Aroma is rich and creamy and anchored by sweet
malt. Tastes of raisin and toffee, malt lingers
on pallet, and only perceive hint of alcohol at the back. Very smooth and you could read complexity in this beer if you wanted, but in actuality
quite simple. Reputation is deserved and so good, I had to order another. The best beer, from the best brewer, on the best beer trip I have ever been on.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-72327534693414985052012-09-30T21:26:00.000-04:002012-10-13T20:51:26.563-04:00Belgium Beer Trip, Part IThis past August, Kelly and I took a vacation to Belgium and the Netherlands, a once in a lifetime trip. As a beer lover, there is no better place to find great beer than in Belgium. With eight days, three cities, and 59 beers sampled, we made the most of it. <br />
<br />
It has taken a while to get this post up since I really didn't know where to begin. Ultimately, I opted for a top 10 list, not simply the 10 best beers of the trip, but the 10 best <i>beer experiences</i> of the trip. In a country where ambiance and glassware are as important as the quality of the beer, it only seemed right. Let's begin counting down with the first five:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGaxV1yCFwOIjilJgQTGAtZgAdH_BRJFkwMAe8rzU9Zgoz7C9cyo5mR3yDixdsl3mblsi_-svrPJCp_WhR-wJssPMZ8_jJZDjO9JZk9OSh7Wv9PDU7qcIsY-fnkyYojkMi5ipVXcFOSLI/s1600/Belgium+and+the+Netherlands!+August+2012+381.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGaxV1yCFwOIjilJgQTGAtZgAdH_BRJFkwMAe8rzU9Zgoz7C9cyo5mR3yDixdsl3mblsi_-svrPJCp_WhR-wJssPMZ8_jJZDjO9JZk9OSh7Wv9PDU7qcIsY-fnkyYojkMi5ipVXcFOSLI/s200/Belgium+and+the+Netherlands!+August+2012+381.JPG" width="150" /></a><b>10) 't IJ I.P.A., 9</b><br />
't IJ was the best of the three brewpubs we visited in Amsterdam. Spectacular location with the outdoor patio's communal picnic tables spread out underneath a historic windmill. The brewery employs a seldom seen (but thoroughly practical) serve yourself counter, with heaping plates of local meats and cheeses available to nosh on. And as good as the beers were in Belgium, this hop head was definitely craving some IBU's. Hoppy nose, flavor, and very drinkable, this was the best IPA of the trip.<br />
<br />

Interestingly, my favorite of the ancient Saison-style came at Brussel's most modern beer bar, Moeder Lambic. Impressive bar and selection, and plenty of sidewalk seating (which is good since it was flipping hot inside...) We ordered the goat cheese plate which was one of the best appetizers of our trip. IV features a huge head with plenty of lacing, fresh nose, and the flavor of yeast and grassy hops.Very nice.<br />
<br />

Perhaps the biggest surprise of our trip because we were stopping at La Becasse (hidden far down a Brussel's alleyway) more for the ambiance than anything else. And that didn't disappoint either as I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the bar hadn't changed a bit in the last couple of centuries. I imagine the beer was served just the same way too, in a pitcher called a "panache." This sweetened lambic was absolutely delicious: flavorful, quenching, and drinkable. A great total experience.<br />
<br />

I was going to skip Amsterdam's American beer bar, Beer Temple, since we didn't travel 3,500 miles for a Sierra Nevada. However, I am glad I didn't, because they even managed to get some American microbrews that I have not been able to find in Mass! Seating on the street was a wonderful spot for people watching. Kelly and I shared a bottle of Evil Twin from Denmark, thus named as the brewer is the brother of Mikkeller's head brewer. But here is the amazing part -- they actually copied the concept for my Naughty or Nice homebrew by making it either an IPA or Black IPA! We got the Black one, which is what we were hoping for. Burnt malt comes through first, then hops. Robust by BIPA standards with a medium body. Will buy another if I ever see it again in hopes of trying IPA counterpart.<br />
<br />

Maybe my favorite place of the trip was Brugge's Cafe Rose Red. It reminded me of Portland, Oregon in a way with a low-key, off-beat feel. We sat in a delightful enclosed patio, ensconced in ivy and classy Belgian beer memorabilia. The bottle list was very good, and the two nights we were there I focused on their lambic offerings, which were always served in the traditional basket. Gueuze itself comes in at 6%, with a sharp tang that conjures up images of Sweet Tarts. Keep an eye out for this at elite American bottle stores.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-11483526949256982892012-08-17T07:53:00.000-04:002012-08-17T07:53:09.121-04:00My Complete Beer Ratings<br />

With eight days in Belgium and the Netherlands we are certain to have a number of once in a lifetime beer experiences. Westvleteren, De Struise, Cantillon, and Drie Fonteinen are all on the docket! I look forward to reporting back but until then, here are the results of my summer research:<br />
<br />
<b>Abbaye des Rocs Brune, 8</b><br />
a touch too sweet for my taste but very nice.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIovx37XrqlVxoQ3gICPDeD4tL8KgIiQ1vIHw5y70Ar_aADm7ekXl8PZOcFYSvkjrWaydEhg7MUpP9iE-k2-D5YKeOQzNNwrCYIUOcV2_sEm66DyJQO3oN8kPddJgqW3lIH5giZJ0IGU/s1600/jacobins.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIovx37XrqlVxoQ3gICPDeD4tL8KgIiQ1vIHw5y70Ar_aADm7ekXl8PZOcFYSvkjrWaydEhg7MUpP9iE-k2-D5YKeOQzNNwrCYIUOcV2_sEm66DyJQO3oN8kPddJgqW3lIH5giZJ0IGU/s200/jacobins.png" width="200" /></a><b>Bockor Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge, 9</b><br />
tasty!<br />
<br />
<b>De Glazen Toren Saison D'Erpe-Mere, 8</b><br />
paper packaging designates beer as one of top 25 in the world. smooth, crisp, and flavorful. <br />
<br />
<b>De Halve Maan Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel, 7</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>De Molen Engels, 6</b><br />
first netherlands beer. kind of disjointed effort though. <br />
<br />
<b>De Ranke Cuvee de Ranke, 8 </b><br />
good taste, but not a good value at $16 a bottle. <br />
<br />
<b>De Struise Elliot Brew, 8</b><br />
the hoppiest Belgian ever made at 216 IBU's! <br />
<br />
<b>Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze, 9</b><br />
i'll match this up head to head with any wine you've got.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>La Trappe Tripel, 8</b><br />
my first beer from the netherlands. darker than normal but alcohol doesn't overpower.<br />
<br />
<b>Liefmans Cuvee-Brut, 8</b><br />
sweet but light.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Lindemans Faro Lambic, 7</b><br />
my first in the style. very sweet but good. looking forward to trying more.<br />
<br />
<b>Maredsous 10, 6</b><br />
at 10% abv, bordering on harsh.<br />
<br />
<b>St. Bernardus Tripel, 9</b><br />
loved every st. b beer i've tried.<br />
<br />
<b>Trappist Achel 8% Blond, 6 </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Westmalle Trappist Dubbel, 8</b><br />
reputation as classic trappist dubbel earned.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-89411453245020766462012-07-17T22:01:00.000-04:002012-08-11T14:10:45.477-04:00Shipyard joins ranks of canners<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

surprisingly, this is the first time i have tried this. a serious beer at 9%. well put together, as always.<br />
<br />
<b>Anchorage Whiteout Wit, 6</b><br />
hazy and dry but uneven. not bad but definitely overpriced.<br />
<br />
<b>Baxter Celsius Summer Ale, 5</b><br />
bitterness not altogether pleasant. too bad too, since i am always looking for a good sessionable beer in a can.<br />
<br />
<b>Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, 2</b><br />
maybe i got a bad bottle but this was a no doubter drain pour.<br />
<br />
<b>Jolly Pumpkin E.S. Bam, 6</b><br />
this spring seasonal is a bigger version of the bam but still only 4.7%. still not my favorite though.<br />

<br />
<b>Mikkeller Grassroots Wheat Is The New Hops, 9</b><br />
hoppy, clean, delicious.<br />
<br />
<b>Onion Pub Jack Stout, 4</b> <br />
took a shot on this unknown illinois canner. sometimes you swing and miss.<br />
<br />
<b>Sixpoint Spice of Life Crystal, 7</b><br />
first
i have tried of series. or crystal hops for that matter (a derivative
of hallertau made in oregon...) makes for a flavorful, if not overly
polished, ipa.<br />
<br />
<b>The Alchemist Celia Saison, 3</b><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Despite
our countless night outs, brewery tours, weekend pub crawls, and
obscenely expensive liquor store runs, last weekend marked only the
second time that Josh and I were together for an actual beer
festival. The last one was several years ago in Providence, Rhode
Island and, while enjoyable, was nowhere near the level that the
Boston Beer Festival in beautiful Seaport was. This one was the real
deal. This was a serious beer sampling for serious beer drinkers. If
Providence was the minor leagues, this was like the call up to
Varsity.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And
what better way to break down the big Varsity game than with an
official beer tournament? So for my contribution here, I will be
seeing over the "Frito Lays Presents Josh's Beer Blog's First

<span style="font-size: small;">We're
going to do this March Madness bracket style, simply pitting 2 beers
against each other in each round until we have a Champion. I wasn't
quite able to get to all the 557 beers the festival had to offer but
I was able to pick out a list for a tournament of 32 (a perfect
bracket size). One of those 32 was the best beer at the event. And I
don't want to hear any complaining about certain beers not making the
field. I don't want to hear about how I skipped over some great
breweries (I've had them before and focused on mostly newer ones to
me) or that I unfairly focused on any specific styles more than
others (I did). The seeding was selected by a committee and there is
nothing that will change that until you dedicate your time to
electing a president that will take a stand against the BCS. Which
you won't, because you're sitting there reading a beer blog. Anyway,
here we go. (seedings
were random and then done bracket style)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ass
Kisser Double IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Amherst Bloody Mary Ale - Ok, so right
from the name you can gather this was an easy win for the oddly named
brewer from San Jose. Amherst and I admittedly got off to a rocky
start early in the day when I found out they were carefully
scheduling the tapping of each of their offers. I stepped up to their
stand looking to try something else but it wasn't available for
another few hours. The gentleman there aggressively sold me on their
Bloody Mary Ale instead, claiming they could only bring a small
sample. He explained it was a pale ale made with the traditional
ingredients of a bloody mary. Lets just say that beer doesn't mix
well with tomato juice and celery. Moving on.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Big
Boss Big Operator</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Idle Hands Commemoration Saison - I was
excited to try Idle Hands, one of the local offerings in Everett, MA.
But while I usually love Saisons, this one was too much fruit and not
enough yeast. Add in the fact that it was served way too cold and and
it results in an early exit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Bridge
Works Tripel </b></span><span style="font-size: small;">over Milwaukee Booyah - I feel like the guys from
Wisconsin were less interested in making a quality saison and more
into the idea of naming it after an ESPN slam dunk nick name. Booyah?
BoooooooNo is more like it! Am I right? Nailed it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Enlightenment
Brut Biere De Cahmpagn</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Martha's Exchange Citra IPA - The
losing IPA from Nashua exhibited my biggest pet peeve
regarding the style. The flavors were there. And they were good. But
the product itself was too weak and watery. It's like it was a great
IPA that just never put in the extra work in the weight room to fully
realize its potential.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Twisted
Pine Hoppy Knight India Black Ale</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Twisted Pine Ghost Faced
Killah - Our first matchup involving two beers from the same brewery.
While the winner was deliciously hoppy, the loser was a chile beer
that just didn't work. Props for the effort but the taste of spicy
habeneros was way too overpowering for something I would ever
actually order. I can't imagine it going well with anything. However,
this otherwise fine brewer from Colorado at least has a
representative in the sweet 16.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Defiant
Brewing Triple</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Samuel Adams Summer Ale - My disgust for Sam
Adams has been well documented here. I only gave them a seeding so I
could see this in print.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Uinta
Brewing Dubhe Imperial Black IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Duck-Rabbit Barrel Aged
Baltic Porter - The Baltic Porter from North Carolina was one I was
particularly excited to try. It was actually quite tasty. However,
when something is barrel aged, I expect to be wowed, and
unfortunately I wasn't. Plus, going against an Imperial anything can
be a tough matchup.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ruckus
Brewing Euphoria</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Prodigal Brewing Brother Mutt's Smoked
Marzenbier - This losing beer had the aroma of skunky bud lite. The
taste wasn't much better and deserved a quick trip to the waste
basket. I didn't even finish this one.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Haverhill
Tap Leatherlips IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Boulevard Brewing Saison Brett - Full
disclosure, I grew up in Haverhill and sneaked this one into the
field. As I've mentioned here before, I can attest to the fact that
The Tap is the only decent thing that wretched city has to offer.
Leatherlips is easily one of my favorite IPA's. While the Saison
Brett was quite good with some great yeast flavors, this beast from
the Hill will be tough to take down. Almost an upset, but fell short
in the 4th quarter.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Martha's
Exchange Triple IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Lawson's Maple Tripel - A creative blend
of a tripel with a double IPA against a cup filled with maple syrup
that may or may not have had alcohol in it. This was an easier win
than when Lebron dropped 45 on the Celtics in game 6.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Olde
Burnside Stone of Density</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Big Boss Monkey Bizz-ness - The
winners from Connecticut are another favorite of mine but this was a
slam dunk for them anyway against another brewer that was more
excited about a silly name. The girl from Big Boss didn't even
understand the style I was asking for until I explained to her that
it was the one named after a monkey. Then she giggled, flipped her
hair, asked me if i liked her shirt, and handed me a strong belgian
ale that was way too watery.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
<b>
<b>NoDa
Ghost Hop White IPA</b></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Alltech's Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale -
I'll never understand how the "experts" at Beer Advocate
rated this losing ale from Kentucky so high. An overpoweringly sweet
concoction of vanilla, coconut, and maple. A barely noticeable hint
of oak despite the fact that it's supposedly aged in new barrels.
Several ratings I've read suggest they detect flavors of bourbon. I'm
not sure if they are forcing it or just dealing with some delusions.
I'm a religious bourbon drinker. It's practically a second form of
blood for me. Trust me when I say it's nowhere to be seen in
Alltech's.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Olde
Burnside Wild Ale</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Amherst St. Valentine's Day Massatucky - A
wild ale showdown! I love this particular style so it was a shame one
of these had to bow out early. I thoroughly enjoyed the sampling of
Amherst. However, the wild from the boys in Hartford was too
deliciously tart and sour. We also learned that the tartness lends
itself to a particular bacteria that infects the barrels the beer
ages in. I mean, how cool is that? Point: Olde Burnside</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">

over </span><span style="font-size: small;">Amherst Black Friday Russian Imperial Stout - We
don't even need to address the victor in this matchup. With Amherst's
crazy random tapping schedule, their Imperial Stout ended up being a
literal no show for the first round. They didn't even dress. A shame
too. I was looking forward to trying that one....</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Lawson's
Double Sunshine IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Idle Hands Triplication - I was bummed
out by Idle Hands in general. Their tripel had some decent flavors,
but was simply too watery in the finish. Not a bad beer, but not
something I would seek out. However to be clear, there was no way in
Hell that Lawson's literal explosion of hops was going home this
early.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>DC
Brau Stone Of Arbroath </b></span><span style="font-size: small;">over

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sweet 16:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Lawson's Double Sunshine IPA </b>over Enlightenment Illumination Saison -- Since the deciding factor is my own personal taste, Lawson's really came through here with an IPA beating out a favorite style of mine. Enlightenment's saison had those great yeast notes that I simply love. Had the bracket worked out differently, I could easily see this sampling from the rather obscure city of Lowell, MA continuing on. But again, the hops in Lawson's Sunshine is just too much. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">NoDa Ghost Hop White IPA</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> over Olde Burnside Highland Wild Ale –
Admittedly I sometimes get annoyed when brewers try to name new
styles (I'm quite certain that there is no such thing as a White IPA)
as though they want credit for inventing something. But if the
flavors work, then more power to you. This was a new, interesting
beer and I loved it. Kelly mentioned that the after taste had some
medicinal tones to it and I agreed. However, when that flavor
presents itself in balance, it's actually a mouth-feel I tend to
enjoy. The Wild ale from Olde Burnside was great but ultimately
something I wouldn't have more than one of. The sourness can be a tad
much at times. I could easily drink several of NoDa's “White IPA”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Haverhill
Tap Leatherlips IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Ass Kisser Double IPA - The great chewy
hops are everywhere in both of these beers. However, considering one
is labeled a double, while the other simply holds it's own against
it? Call me biased, but Haverhill earned it's trip to Lansing. (The
next round is being held in Lansing).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Twisted
Pine Hoppy Knight India Black Ale</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Uinita Brewing Dubhe
Imperial Black IPA – The guys from Utah claimed that their imperial
black had a ton of hops. I mostly got the delicious chocolate and
malts. The hops were there, but didn't quite make their presence
known as much as they did in Twisted Pine's Black Ale. The winner
from Boulder had the nice base of chocolate but still allowed the
hops to come out in the perfect amount. That factor gets them the
nod.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ruckus
Brewing Euphoria</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over DC Brau Stone of Arbroath – The brewer
from New York gets the win essentially for being more complex. Sure,
that's probably a little unfair since Scottish ales are what they
are. The roasted dark malts from DC were delicious and probably would
have beaten a beer of similar style. But when it goes up against a
well crafted tripel with a wide variety of fruit and spices, it's
tough to pull off the win.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Enlightenment
Brut Biere De Champagne</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Bridge Works Tripel – We can get
more into Enlightenment later and trust me, Bridge Works makes a
great Tripel. But this was a blowout.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Martha's
Exchange Triple IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Big Boss Big Operator – To the girl
serving Big Boss at the event, Big Boss had some great hops and yes
your shirt was stunning. But flirting will get you nowhere against an
amazingly creative and complex beer from the granite state.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Olde
Burnside Stone of Density</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Defiant Brewing Tripel – My
favorite aspect of the Boston festival compared to Providence was
that most brewers brought some rare extreme stuff and didn't try to
coast by on any flagship brews. Again, tripel is a favorite style of
mine so having Defiant go down to a black and tan speaks volumes of
Stone of Density. Vanilla, chocolate, roasted malts, and
finally...............Bourbon! Tie all that into an awesome velvet
texture and Olde Burnside moves on.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Enlightenment
Brute Biere De Champagne</b> over NoDa Ghost Hop White IPA – The
boys from Lowell are going to the final 4. This beer is crisp,
fruity, perfectly yeasty, and just continues to steamroll through the
competition.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Martha's
Exchange Triple IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Ruckus Brewing Euphoria – Once again,
Martha's Exchange pulls off the win for creativity and complexity.
Taking down a great tripel is no easy feat. But when you have a
yeasty tripel with some nice hops thrown in, you win. You also win
when the guy pouring the samples suggests to Josh that maybe he
cannot handle the high alcohol content this beer has to offer. Yes
that happened and yes it was my favorite moment of the day.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Lawson's
Double Sunshine IPA</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Haverhill Tap Leatherlips IPA – The
king is dead. But this was not a 12 round fight to the death. This
was more like a powerhouse getting punched in the mouth and falling
down in round 2. Lawson's brought their overwhelming hops to the
table. And combined with more citrus flavors than Leatherlips has to
offer, simply tasted far and away better.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Olde
Burnside Stone of Density</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over Twisted Pine Hoppy Knight India
Black Ale – I'm glad I discovered Twisted Pine from Colorado. I'll
be trying to find their stuff at local bars and stores. However, Olde
Burnside took similar great flavors, brewed them to perfection, and
combined it into a perfectly smooth texture.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Enlightenment
Brute Biere De Champagne </b></span><span style="font-size: small;">over
Olde Burnside Stone of Density – The heavy black and tan from
Hartford is great. But this amazingly crisp and drinkable concoction
from Enlightenment is simply something you'll want drink and have
several more of. I could make the argument that this Champagne beer
is suitable for any of the four seasons. As suitable at a summer BBQ
with ribs as it would be at a Christmas party in mid winter with
shrimp cocktail. There is no way this wouldn't be a tremendous crowd
pleaser.</span></div>

This past weekend I got to check it off the list and, let me tell you, it was well worth the wait!<br />
<br />
With <a href="http://beeradvocate.com/acbf/beer" target="_blank">120 brewers bringing over 550 beers</a>, this was one beer festival that you definitely needed a game plan for. My focus was not only new beers, but new brewers as well. I more than succeeded on this account by checking off 14 new brewers! (Kelly and Dan were pretty happy with their haul as well, which hopefully we will get to hear a bit about in the coming weeks...)<br />
<br />
So here they are, my Top 10 beers for the festival and a list of all the new beers I sampled. No regrets, but the beers I was most sorry to have missed were Maine Beer MO Pale Ale, Bridge Brew
Works Black Lager, and Amherst Pistachio Crème Pie. There's always next year!<br />

Those malty winter beers tend to get pushed to the back of my beer shelf for some fresh hopped-up six-packs. This is what I have been sampling:<br />
<br />
<b>Berkshire Saint of Circumstance Sour Mash Whiskey Barrel Aged IPA, 9</b><br />
berkshire
decided to go for it with this gutsy idea for a beer. i thought it
worked too. hops and bourbon play nice together and its sour without
being over the top. very interesting. <br />
<br />
<b>Blue Hills Comet Tail Pale Ale, 7</b><br />
a pretty big pale ale. malty in the front and hoppy in the back.<br />
<br />
<b>Cambridge Weekapaug Gruit Ale, 7</b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRvt3plocOiztls6mGp5XvCGNcOuK0g0hIXghpZzYy5YpUQb7paKQhXILOZxAtoYk9Zi6yJNuzRtN61IcKL63NCeyoArxbz0lBhVd_TvZguGDQq1bxs86vVm2guBFiapZfW9h2a05FGU/s1600/resin_can.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRvt3plocOiztls6mGp5XvCGNcOuK0g0hIXghpZzYy5YpUQb7paKQhXILOZxAtoYk9Zi6yJNuzRtN61IcKL63NCeyoArxbz0lBhVd_TvZguGDQq1bxs86vVm2guBFiapZfW9h2a05FGU/s200/resin_can.jpg" width="128" /></a>while this is an unhopped style, the replacement spices give it a springy feel as well. points for the phish reference too.<br />
<br />
<b>Mayflower Spring Hop, 6</b><br />
solid hoppy amber.<br />
<br />
<b>Sixpoint Resin, 7</b><br />
really stands out on the shelf with its sharp green label and
skinny can. heaps of delicious piney, citrus hops. not to be confused
with a session beer however.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-73110532418374977082012-05-06T07:46:00.000-04:002012-05-06T07:46:01.271-04:00The big little guysWhen the Brewers Association -- the craft beer industry's trade group -- put out its<a href="http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/media/press-releases/show?title=brewers-association-releases-top-50-breweries-in-2011" target="_blank"> annual list of the largest craft breweries</a>, a lot of familiar names topped the list. What was interesting was the fact that 36 of the top 50 are still small and independent craft breweries, a number that will surely continue to dwindle as the macrobreweries continue to add surging craft brewers to their portfolio. <br />

Here are some of my newest samplings:<br />
<br />
<b>Backlash Declaration, 6</b><br />
7.2% belgian ipa. aggressive bitterness and sweetness make this less than drinkable.<br />
<br />
<b>Blatant IPA, 7</b><br />
a solid ipa, although a little less hppy than i would like. would buy this again though. <br />
<br />
<b>Cody No Name IPA, 5</b><br />
substandard, but i will give them another try. <br />
<br />

good hop flavor and easy drinking. recommended.<br />
<br />
<i>Takes the cake: </i><br />
<b>Mystic Saison Aged in Sauvignon Blanc, 10</b><br />
classy bottle with great description of brewers approach to saison's on
label. barley and oats provide coarse element. yeast is magnificent,
makes beer. white wine qualities come through but in correct
proportions. excellent.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-4196657466675142682012-04-22T09:35:00.001-04:002012-05-06T07:07:19.778-04:00A mixed six of first timers<b>Clown Shoes Eagle Claw Fist, 7</b><br />
found on tap at public eat + drink in north adams, a solid beer bar. this hopped up red weighs in at a healthy 8% abv.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Gulden Draak, 9</b><br />
pretty sure i have had this before but never wrote it up. dark, sweet, and sour all at once. delightful.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Harviestoun Old Engine Oil, 8</b><br />
a dark, malty 6% porter. imagine it would be even tastier on tap, or better yet, nitro.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Keegan Ales Mother's Milk Stout, 6</b><br />
one of several milk stout's floating around the states with this name. good not great.<b> </b><br />

big fruity hop flavor in a can! an excellent double, just be prepared to pay for it at $14 for 4 tallboys. much better than their GUBNA.<b> </b><br />

<b>Wandering Star Mild, 4</b><br />
4.3% porter. in my opinion, mild's should be light enough to be sessionable. this was not.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-4537061136703151912012-04-08T13:12:00.000-04:002012-04-22T09:38:53.379-04:00Worcester's bestFor my 30th birthday last weekend we were looking for someplace exciting to go for dinner. And Armsby Abbey, Massachusetts #1 beer bar, is as exciting as it gets!<br />
<br />
Only my second visit, Armsby Abbey managed to once again exceed my sky high expectations. Plenty of interesting beers I had never tried on tap, rare top-notch bottles (although you will pay for the privilege with some topping out at $50), and wonderful food. My plate of duck confit over brussel sprouts in a mustard-cream sauce was spectacular. But on to the beer!<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Beer Here Hopfix, 7</span><br />
i think this is the second brewer i have tried from denmark after mikkeller. a clean, hoppy ipa.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">d'Achouffe Biere du Soleil, 4</span><br />
the maltiest saison i have ever tried... tastes more like an amber. no hop presence, dry, dull.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Jack's Abbey Cascadian, 7</span>my first beer from this new framingham-based brewer. a very roasty schwarzbier, perhaps a little heavier than i prefer. encouraging though.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Port Mongo, 8</span>no shortage of citrusy, grapefruit hops here. nice to get port on tap.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sixpoint Spice of Life Nugget, 8</span><br />
light colored and cloudy, tangy grapefruit hops. not a bad hop to build a single hop beer around afterall.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Thornbridge Kippling Pale Ale, 6</span><br />
musty off-note was too much, even for a british pale<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Best in show:</span><br />

(glad i had some help drinking it though.) complexity you would expect in beer designed to be paired with a cigar. one of the best american sours i have had.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-84507737941473620312012-03-25T09:40:00.000-04:002012-03-25T09:57:07.581-04:00Maine Weekend, Part 2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OoBUwwmyTQXniLTdnS2jHzFvVnAqQPE4y3TzBpWYOMOpZDtd3lC7wHpjVcBuDvuENlOXN80LjO-Eg6ZPmMEFb6uBWdcH6K25pgVgSDnjpQDfbyA3eZ8K_nc_ui2ciUxHiAp-7lLXTL4/s1600/sea+dog+brewing.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OoBUwwmyTQXniLTdnS2jHzFvVnAqQPE4y3TzBpWYOMOpZDtd3lC7wHpjVcBuDvuENlOXN80LjO-Eg6ZPmMEFb6uBWdcH6K25pgVgSDnjpQDfbyA3eZ8K_nc_ui2ciUxHiAp-7lLXTL4/s200/sea+dog+brewing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723833052820782354" border="0" /></a>Our beer sampling trip to Maine didn't end Saturday night at Lion's Pride. The next morning we went to the Sea Dog Brewing brewpub in Topsham, Maine. Located in a historic mill building on the river, the brewpub has built quite a reputation for its Sunday brunch. An all you can eat buffet, this smorgasbord has everything from eggs benedict to shrimp cocktail to cheesecake. Sadly, the food is a little more memorable than the fruity-bending beers. A very worthwhile take nevertheless.<br /><br />Of the sampler tray, I had only tried two before: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale (5)</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter (4)</span>. The others are as follows:<br /><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sea Dog Cabin Fever Winter Stock Ale, 6</span><br style="font-weight: bold;">Rich, toffee malt flavor.

Two years ago this trip took us to remote Lovell, ME and the world's number one rated beer bar: Ebenezer's. This Belgian bar has been so successful they recently opened a sister restaurant called Lion's Pride in Brunswick, ME. This Belgian bar has been so successful that it is actually rated higher than Ebenezer's on BeerAdvocate.com.<br /><br />While this wasn't my first trip (<a href="http://www.joshsbeerblog.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html#3004440215689136921">http://www.joshsbeerblog.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html#3004440215689136921</a>), it was the first chance I had ever had to sit down and spend some time with the impressive beer menu. Over the course of four hours our group of worked through many of the 36 taps and some of the rare bottles as well. To top it off, the food is very good, the beer memorabilia very impressive, and the service excellent and knowledgeable. I am not sure Lion's Pride can match the experience of Ebenezer's just yet (they will let you pitch a tent in the back yard!) this unquestionably belongs in the discussion of the greatest best beer bars in the world.<br /><br />Here come the tasting notes. And I'll be coming back for the Drie Fontein Oude Guese and Lindemans Cuvee Rene.<br /><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bahnhof Brettanomyces Lambicus Berliner Style Weisse, 6</span><br />Puckering, incredibly sour, wine-like qualities. Not as drinkable as I look for in the Berliner Weisse style.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">La Rulles Triple, 8</span><br />Citrus hops (apple, pineapple), hint of medicine, with funk in back. Incredibly unique flavors.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">De Dolle Dulle Teve, 8</span><br />Hoppy, yeasty concoction. Better known as "Mad Bitch".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Oude Beersel Framboise, 7</span><br />The tap kicked so this was just a sample. I found the flavor to be more musty and dry than other fruit lambics.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RepoTerrior, 2</span><br />Collaborative brew from Dogfish Head, Allagash, Sierra Nevada, Lost Abbey, and Avery. After that list of brewers would you believe that this was terrible? They opted to brew a light cucumber beer for some reason. Cucumber flavor seemed closest to watermelon to me. Poor either way you cut it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fantome Biere Artisinale Sur Lie, 9</span><br />I loved Strange Ghost enough to give this one a try. Sour nose, lively, citrusy, yeasty. Very fun beer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel, 10</span><br />I first wrote about this beer in a column for The Providence Phoenix about beer oddities. This is about as odd as it gets too: <span class="bodyText">the beer uses coffee beans made from the droppings of a civet cat — a Vietnamese weasel!</span> Weird, I know, but man was this good. Rich, beautiful flavor that demands to be sipped. The highlight of the night -- high praise.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Birra Del Borgo Duchessic Ale, 8</span><br />Recommended by a knowledgeable stranger at the bar. Dry and fruity. The first good Italian beer I have ever had.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-47683953974957767812012-02-26T11:31:00.003-05:002012-02-26T11:37:30.149-05:00MY

One exceeded expectations, one disappointed. Next up? An oak-aged bourbon stout!<br /><br /><div><strong>Vacationland Belgian Pale Ale, Score: 9<br /></strong>Named in preparation for my summer vacation up to Maine. I<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0cmRbLfbRIO-J1_OLIPLVz66RxPpqHyJ_IBb22BSEn4a4719Yd7RmCSeb9F-Hex9EOp3NrSvOQkimc6ngB73VDCnKbK4tZoET8v2GdPeFSd0CYrK0FAv8gLUNiRfTIGOKpRYeDSzC63M/s1600/Vacationland+BPA.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0cmRbLfbRIO-J1_OLIPLVz66RxPpqHyJ_IBb22BSEn4a4719Yd7RmCSeb9F-Hex9EOp3NrSvOQkimc6ngB73VDCnKbK4tZoET8v2GdPeFSd0CYrK0FAv8gLUNiRfTIGOKpRYeDSzC63M/s200/Vacationland+BPA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702873205644453442" border="0" /></a>wasn't particularly pleased to be forced to use a Belgian Abbey yeast strain for this Pale Ale, but it did provide the desired Belgian flavor. Fantastic fresh appealing nose with multiple notes of sweetness. Translucent pour with nice head. Taste has solid malt profile but is not overly-heavy. Bitterness is light, pleasant, and on-par for a Pale Ale. Yeast imparts a wonderful musty, Belgian component and some medicinal notes on back end. Even with big flavor, Vacationland has a light mouthfeel and is very sessionable. Probably my tastiest beer yet. Could not keep it on the shelf. Working in tandem, Dan and George quickly wiped out my inventory as the Patriots season progressed. A ringing endorsement, I suppose.<br /><br /><strong>Republic of Cascadia Dark Ale, Score: 5<br /></strong>I<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZfnOahZvdbr62mRVPIcJYIuoHU9-iv8iBzpyDE54FoUuhtv5yZczZe1_5we7ieoN4huVbajNwKyFpVQpn3UtfbvsWuGITXw929Xu1magWBbIHVrMHm76cBx_n-uhvQhq6xLVmuM-MRA/s1600/Republic+of+Cascadia.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZfnOahZvdbr62mRVPIcJYIuoHU9-iv8iBzpyDE54FoUuhtv5yZczZe1_5we7ieoN4huVbajNwKyFpVQpn3UtfbvsWuGITXw929Xu1magWBbIHVrMHm76cBx_n-uhvQhq6xLVmuM-MRA/s200/Republic+of+Cascadia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702873820308283170" border="0" /></a> was hoping to produce a Pacific Northwest-style Black IPA but wound up with another Robust Porter. The body was simply too heavy, Black IPA's are lighter and more sessionable. Pours dark murky color with neat head. Sweetness and hops hit nose nearly equally. Acidic bitterness is first flavor to hit the tongue, followed by heavily roasted coffee flavored malts. Sour, off-flavor note becomes more prominent as beer ages. Warrior, Willamette, and Cascade hops did impart a tasty bitterness at least. Smooth and lively. I will take another whack at this style at some point. It is worth noting that while I scored this lower than past porters, I think my grading scale is getting tougher as time goes on. Not a bad thing.<br /></div>Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176959329060411275.post-84346291085236311852012-01-08T18:44:00.000-05:002012-01-15T19:04:19.264-05:00Maine's next great brewpubIt was another busy December at my real job. While I didn't get a chance to post on the blog, my family was hard at work reviewing the fare at Maine's newest brewpub, Mainely Brews Tavern in Waterville. Their review was more than enough to bump this pub up to the top of my to-do list. Hopefully, I will be adding my own, more beer-centric view shortly. Until then, bon appetit!<br /><h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.kjonline.com/reallife/happening/TRAVELIN-MAINERS-Good-grub-Great-pub----Who-needs-the-post-office.html">Good grub, Great pub . . .

This is a fun place with a great pub atmosphere, superb micro-brews, and a surprising (and enticing) menu.</p> <p>Home for Christmas last week, our youngest daughter Hilary, who works at a high-end restaurant on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., joined us for our adventure at Mainely Brews.</p> <p>Hilary<br /><br />The atmosphere at Mainely Brews is what will bring you in — jovial, warm, and lively — but the food is what will keep bringing you back. Walking into the well-lit basement tavern with Mom and Dad just a few days before Christmas, I was surprised by how many families had chosen this place for a holiday dinner. This is not your average bar in central Maine.</p> <p>The layout of Mainely Brews is great — something for everyone, with a horseshoe bar, large wooden tables fit for large groups, and cozy leather booths scattered around the oddly shaped historic basement. You can even have a private dinner or event in the old mail vault, a separate room adjacent to the tavern.</p> <p>The history of the building makes for an authentic, charismatic restaurant with real Maine character.</p> <p>The live music from a five-piece band was upbeat and a perfect accompaniment to the meal, without overwhelming the conversation.</p> <p>The food (and beer) is what will keep you coming back for more. We were thrilled with the lobster stew and Southwest chicken rollups as appetizers, and blown away by the steak tips entrée and Mediterranean baked haddock entrée special.</p> <p>These were all washed down with $3.50 pints of Maine microbrews that the tavern pours from taps.</p> <p>My favorite was the Drop Dead red ale, high-alcohol amber that was both smoky and delicious. Dessert was not to be missed — the peanut butter pie is a real standout.</p> <p>We were too full from all of the aforementioned food to try their burgers and pizzas. I was sorry to miss the London burger with black pepper and blue cheese. It would have been great with a Post Office Porter.</p> <p>Incredibly delicious food, for surprisingly low prices, with some pretty spectacular locally brewed Maine beer. Mainely Brews is a long way from Washington, D.C., but I will be back.</p> <p>Linda</p> <p>The story behind Mainely Brews Tavern is a good one. Luke Duplessis bought this bar when he was 23 years old. I wonder if he could have even imagined how successful his restaurant would be now, eight years later.</p> <p>The first thing you’re apt to notice is the beautiful old brick walls. Sconces and hanging lights give it a warm, welcoming feeling. One might think this is just a bar, but it actually is a restaurant serving great pub food — including burgers, appetizers and pizzas — and delicious entrees.</p> <p>It was hard to choose from all those appetizers. The warm spinach dip included large pieces of artichoke, and was served with just-fried tortilla chips. Beware because those chips are addictive!</p> <p>If you want something different, and enjoy a spicy sauce, order the Southwestern chicken rollups ($6.99). These are tiny burritos filled with corn, black beans and chicken, and then fried. It was the spicy ranch sauce that made these spectacular. Next time I go, they are likely to be my dinner! Luke told us these are very popular and I see why.</p> <p>A friend was raving about the beef tips, so I knew we had to try this dish. A good portion of beef (perfectly cooked), mushrooms and onions, were served in a delicious, wild mushroom demi-glace.</p> <p>Order their great mashed potatoes with this and you have comfort food at its best. The $13.99 price included a delicious Caesar salad. This entrée was incredible.<br /><br />George</p>Hilary’s restaurant experience helped us evaluate some of the key ingredients for a good restaurant, and Mainely Brews had them all — from friendly, knowledgeable servers to appropriately timed delivery of food. <p>My perfectly cooked (flaky) haddock had a topping well-chopped so that you got all of the taste with each bite, and was served in a baking dish that kept the food hot (although I gobbled it up so fast it had little time to cool!)</p> <p>After we’d finished our desserts, our very accommodating server (and also the front-of-the-house manager) Sandra gave me paper copies of all their menus — including the “Bear Skinny” health and fitness guilt-free menu. Much to my astonishment, my haddock dish was on that menu! I asked Lin if that meant I could order another dessert. You can guess the answer!</p> <p>The micro-brews are provided by one of my favorite breweries, Black Bear in Orono, and both dark beers — the porter and the stout — are superb.</p> <p>After a bit of begging, the girls allowed me to describe the desserts, a scrumptious peanut butter pie (the soft center was amazing) and a crème brule cheesecake that combined two of my favorite things into perhaps the tastiest cheesecake I’ve ever had. Hilary agreed.</p> <p>Desserts are made by Luke’s friend at Carriage House Confections in Veazie (who makes desserts from some of our favorite restaurants including Fiddlehead in Bangor).<br /><br />Conclusion<br /></p><p>You’ll get real value here, where low prices are combined with good food served in a great pub atmosphere where everyone around us — including families with small kids — was obviously having a great time. Good grub. Great pub.

The menu was impressive and I absolutely loved the spicy, pork belly tacos with pickled red onion. With 36 rotating taps and another 80 bottles, Five Horses has all the credentials of a beer destination.<br /><br />I started off with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cape Ann Homeport Honey Pale (7)</span>. I am a sucker for any small batch made with local ingredients. Nice looking beer with balanced, subtle nose. Caramel malts and honey provide a sweetness that is pleasant, but not overbearing. Well done. Next up: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brewdog Zeitgeist Black Lager (5)</span>. Schwarzbier's are quickly climbing the rankings of my favorite styles, with that wonderful ability to provide the best of both worlds -- hoppy and dark. Once again, Brewdog fails to meet expectations but rather than going over the top, this one is a little watery. No regrets though.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00007665162110374638noreply@blogger.com1
