Birdsboro Beverage Company had a beer tasting today. It was before noon, but I won’t get into that. After some mild twisting of my arm, I decided to give it a go. They were offering some different varieties of Svytury, a Lithuanian beer company located in Klaipėda, Lithuania. They were offering: Baltas – an unfiltered …

For the third year in a row, Beck’s Oktoberfest is still one of the best brews of the season.

After having Beck’s, Stoudts, Sam Adams, Iron Hill, and a few other Oktoberfest brews, I decided to try something new this September. The beer pours a rich deep amber color with a modest white head. The first taste had me twist my head just a bit. The taste is grassy and floral as I expected, …

Finally got around to picking up a case of Stoudt’s Oktober Fest. It’s still a high quality brew that never disappoints.

Just a quick note to say that Beck’s Oktoberfest is as good this year as it was last year. I can’t wait for Stoudts to distribute theirs.

I had dinner at the Border Cafe in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA this evening with my cousin and co-workers. The food was excellent, and the beer and margaritas were refreshing. It was a rainy humid day in Boston so the restaurant was a bit on the warm side, but the lighthearted atmosphere, good friends, and …

Sol was recommended to me by my wife’s cousin, and what a great recommendation. This Mexican import is a great, light tasting lager that is easily the best Mexican beer I have had. It compares with Tecate and Dos Equis. Mild in flavor, with a crisp bite on the way down. This will make …

I regret having ordered this beer. It was pale in color with a tall, white head. It had an odd aroma and a finish that made me smack my lips and say, “What is this?” I wouldn’t wish this beer on anyone. Here’s the review at RateBeer.com.

Another beer I had at Da Vinci’s Pub was Peroni Nastro Azzuro at the advice of a colleague. It poured a clear gold color with a tall, bright white head. This beer had a definite macro brew ‘nothing special’ flavor. The only difference between this and other mass produced American lagers is that this …

While having dinner at Da Vinci’s Pub in Collegeville, PA, I browsed the beer selection, and choose a different beer each time. The first beer I decided upon was Magic Hat #9. Although I am not a big fan of fruit beers, this brew was well balanced and the citrus flavor in the beer did …
