It’s this kind of beers that gives American beers a bad reputation in the rest of the world;
Lone Star Beer 12 from Lone Star Brewing Co, Forth Worth, Texas.
I had to google what the 12 stand for and I think it’s because it has 12 grams of carbohydrates per 12oz of beer.
Eeeh was my first thought as I had a sip, I can only give this a 2 out of 5.
The label says;
The national beer of Texas.
As I open todays beer I could smell the lager flavor and it reminded me of the beers my grandparents used to drink.
Czechvar Premium Czech Lager, from the Brewery B.B.N.P in Czech Republic
5% Alc./Vol.
I’m not a big fan, it’s just a bunch of bubbles to me.
I have to give it 3 out of 5, it’s not terrible, but drinkable.
The label says;
Czechvar is the special name of the world famous beer produced by the renowned brewery in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic. Benefiting from over 700 years of brewing experience of the South Bohemian region, Czechvar is the golden original, acknowledged by many connoisseurs as one of the best lagers in the world.
I was excited for today’s beer as it looked so cute wrapped in foil with a super short neck;
Winter Hook #28, Seasonal Series from Redhook Ale Brewery, Seattle
6.0% Alc./Vol,
Super good beer, it went down fast! I give it 4 out of 5, it made me burp a lot.
The label says;
Redhook likes a little nip in the air.
Very suspicious today as I open up my beer;
Hangar 24 Orange Wheat from Redlands California, not the biggest fan of wheat beer… I generally like Hangar 24 though, and this beer was not bad for being a wheat beer. I still can’t give it more than 2 out of 5 though. If I had to drink a wheat beer, this would probably be it, still a little to fizzy for my taste.
4.6% Alc./Vol.
The label says;
Crisp, Tangy & Refreshing. The citrus aroma, light airy mouthfeel and tangy finish are this unfiltered beer’s trademarks. This is accomplished by adding whole, locally grown oranges throughout the brewing process which perfectly coalesce with the wheat and barley base.
Not feeling so hot today so I am just gonna have my beer and head off to bed
Josephs Brau Brewing Co. Winter Brew Dark Duble Bock Lager, from San Jose, CA.
It’s an OK beer, maybe I am not that into it because I am not feeling so well, but I’ll give it a 3 out of 5. I would drink it again, but nothing to write home about.
7.5% Alc./Vol
The label says;
JoshephBrau Brewing Company’s WinterBrew is a rich, dark bock, inspired b the lagers Bavarian monks brewed to lift their spirits during the long fasts of Lent. The monks brewed this with dark roasted Munich and Caramel malts with flavorful results. Our WinterBrew is sure to do the same for you. 7.5% ALCOHOL BY VOLUME, 28 bitterness units.
I got an interesting beer today;
Xingu Black Beer from Brazil
3 out of 5
As I open todays beer, I saw the label saying Sioux City Sarsaparilla, the Granddaddy Of All Root Beers, made with cane sugar. I thought to myself what the… this is not even a real beer, right?
I however thought I’d give it a chance, poured it and had a sip, and it tastes like a mix of coca cola and toothpaste, pretty disgusting. I had to pour it out.
I don’t think I can rate this… It’d have to be a 0 out of 5.
Holy Crap was the my first thought, this thing is strong!
Victory Golden Monkey Triple Ale, from Victory Brewing Company, Downington, PA
9.5% alc./vol.
Never been a big fan of beers with a high alcohol content. Taste very wheaty/yeasty and I can barely taste any flavors because of the high alcohol taste. I think this would be a beer you would enjoy if you like Belgian beers, but I don’t, and I don’t even know if I will be able to finish this bottle. I am sad to say I can only give this 1 out of 5. I am sure it’s a great beer for the ones who knows better.
The bottle says;
A magical, mystical Monkey whose golden soul glows with the wisdom of ages. This warming, flavored ale is rich in the sprinted tradition of Belgian-inspired brewing. Our Golden Monkey is both playfully delightful and profoundly satisfying. Exotic spices from the East round out this global journey to joy. Get on board. This Monkey’s bound for glory!
I love when you open up a beer and you can see the smoke coming out of the bottle!
The beer of the day;
Pilsner Urquell from Plzen, Czech Republic. 4.4% Alc./Vol. Just like a regular pilsner, better for a hot summer day than a cold and dark winter day, 3 out of 5.
The bottle says;
For people over the age of 21 only.
I am happy to get some European flavors in the beer calendar! The beer for today was Spaten Oktoberfest, 5.9% Alc./Vol. From Munich, Germany
If a beer comes in a green bottle, it usually means it’s a lighter beer, like a lager or a pilsner and they are usually not what I prefer. This beer though was darker in color and had a lot of flavors! I like it! 4 out of 5!
