I have thought about trying the Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer) for quite awhile since I think their Pale Ale is most excellent. I happened to be in Molly Maguire’s last Friday for a after work get-together and they had it on draft. I had a couple of pints and it was very, very …

I picked up a case of the Michelob Craft Collection a couple of weeks ago. The collection includes an Irish Red, Pale Ale, Porter, and an Oktoberfest styled Marzen. I rated the Pale Ale lower than the other beers. In comparison with other Pale Ales, Bass, Sierra Nevada, etc. The body and hoppiness of the …

My friend at the local beer distributor gave me a sample of John Labatt Signature Porter and Red Amber Lager. Both were very decent beers that I would drink again if given the opportunity. Here’s the Porter and Red Amber Lager reviews from RateBeer.com.

My buddy at the beer distributor gave me a sample of Tetley’s English Ale. The can contains a widget similar to a a Guinness Draught and pours with the same type of carbonation and frothy head. The main difference is the color; the Tetley’s is a light caramel brown with a pale yellow head. The …

I had this beer at Outback Steakhouse. Decent beer but had very little head. At least it came in a brown bottle. I would get it again. Here’s the review from RateBeer.com.

This showed up at the beverage store and I decided to try it. I am very skeptical about beers in green bottles, but there good beers in green bottles, e.g., Pilsner Urquell, so I do not avoid them completely. I poured this beer into an English pint glass. It pours a pale golden yellow with …

I had seen this beer at the beverage store and have always meant to try it. The $45/case price tag was a bit of a deterrent. I usually buy Guinness when I choose to drop that kind of coin for beer, but I figured what the hell. The beer pours a reddish copper with white …

I had this beer at Outback Steakhouse. Nothing special about it. I have not been real impressed with Australian beers. I guess every country has their own brand of Budweiser. Here’s the review from RateBeer.com.

I have had Carlsberg before, but never posted about it. It’s the best Danish beer that I have had. I enjoy drinking this beer in the spring and summer. I would recommend it to anyone. I poured it into a lager glass. It pours a beautiful golden with a great white head. Here’s the review …

Well I switched back to domestic beer for now. I picked up a case of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from Chico, CA. This is a very good and smooth Pale Ale that pours dark amber with a nice thick cream colored head. The body is light and full of hops, which leaves a clean lingering …
