Homebrew – Irish Stout
Having been a fan of beer for some time now, I recently decided it was high time to stop relying on the labors of others and give homebrewing a shot. So last weekend, armed with the latest in beginner brewing kits and aided by an experienced friend, I embarked on what what would be a weekend wrought with numerous close calls and ultimately destined for catastrophic failure.
Leinenkugel’s – Fireside Nut Brown
At long last, back to the beer blog. There have been many changes in my life of late, yet sweet sweet beer has been a constant throughout my recent turmoil. An anchor, if you will; helping me to keep a foothold in reality while many significant aspects of my life shuffled around. And now that things have settled down, I feel I'm indebted to my beloved beer for helping me to keep my head clear at times, and enabling me to fuzz it up when necessary. So for this most recent jump back into the realm of bloggery, I've decided to go with Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown.
Harpoon – Summer
It's a bit late in the year for a summer beer, but I thought it may be appropriate since I'm a bit late in general in terms of my frequency of beer blogging. So for my third or fourth return to this beer blog, I've decided to go with Harpoon's Summer beer.
New Look!
It's that time of year again, where for some arbitrary reason or another I remember that I have a beer blog. As you may have noticed, it now looks different (although I'd be impressed if you actually remember what the old one looked like). So since I'm now upgraded to the latest version of wordpress and have installed a fancy new theme and made commenting easier etc... I suppose I'll start blogging about beer again. There have been some exciting new developments in my personal life with regard to beer. Specifically, the opening of a fantastic new ginormous liqueur store not too far from me with a rather large selection of outstanding beers. Also, I've recently discovered the Sam Adams Barrel Room Collection which I'll get on asap.
It's a bit early for drinking so I'll leave things here for the moment. I'll try and come back with a new beer before the Mayan calendar expires.
Widmer – Hefeweizen
Ahh Hefeweizen; sweet, often delicious, unfiltered wheat beer...
So I was picking up a 30 rack of some cheap domestic pee in a can the other day (not for me, I promise!) and I thought I may as well get something I haven't had before to keep this whole blog thing going. As you may have surmised by the title of this post, today's beer will be a hefeweizen by Widmer.
