g local brewery read the full announcement on dcbeer com salud 3 comments beer brews news tagged beer craft beer northern virginia va beer permalink posted by beveragebaron san francisco super bowl beers february 3 2013 i have no idea why the day after the super bowl is not a holiday we already have one day where we celebrate a murderous asshole why not make it two for ray ray although baltimore is somewhat of a local team for the baron and i do enjoy watching some of their players like ray rice and ed reed there is absolutely no way i will root for a team that employs ray lewis i think we can all agree that ray lewis at very least an attention seeking piece of shit and at the most a conniving murderer who gets off on deer antler spray another thing we can all agree on is that it completely sucks to be hungover at work what s the key to not being hungover or at least less hungover session beers for those of you who don t know session beers are pretty much any beer lower in alcohol and preferably don t suck looking at you bud black crown without further ado here are some of my favorite san francisco session beers available now speakeasy scarlett red rye speakeasy s scarlett red rye pours a dark ruby shade with a fluffy off white head slight citrus hop aroma with notes of caramel toasted malt and a hint of rye scarlett tastes hoppier than its aroma suggests the flavor is dominated by a co mingling of rye and herbal hops with the malt playing the alex smith backup role to these two the baron s really been digging the rye ales craft brewers have been putting out recently i just love the way the spiciness compliment hoppy beers scarlett s light medium body and low abv 5 5 make it one of the more interesting session beer for the sunday night food pairing it would go well with a cheese cracker platter especially something tangy like goat cheese what there s no goat cheese or rye sandwiches at your super bowl party well shit pizza i guess baron rating 85 100 anchor bock beer anchor s bock beer ours a dark murky mohagany with a thick creamy tan head aroma of roasted malt molasses chocolate brown sugar and a faint hint of hops the taste is malt driven which is typical for a dunkler bock style anchor bock beer has a mildly sweet taste of caramel toasted nuts earthy chocolate molasses and dark fruits its smooth medium body and 5 5 abv make it an excellent session beer for someone who likes a little darkness in their life food pairing the roasted malt character will pair nicely with heavier fair like pulled pork barbeque chili or a chocolatey dessert dish you at least have chili right baron rating 87 100 21st amendment bitter american 21st amendment is mostly known for their awesome brews and kickass can designs but they also produce the baron s favorite hoppy session ale bitter american 21st amendment describes it as an extra pale ale session ale it pours a hazy golden orange with a frothy white head bitter american has a very hoppy aroma that is more american ipa than pale ale with loads of citrus and resiny hops with a bit of caramel and biscuity malt aroma despite being only 4 4 abv it packs in loads of hoppy flavors with just enough sweetness to edge it more closely to a balanced beer this a great beer to drink all night it s extremely fresh as well no doubt in part to being canned a low abv hoppy ale like this just wouldn t taste the same out of a bottle food pairing burgers tacos buffalo wings spicy asian cuisine pretty much any protein to be honest no trouble finding food that goes with pale ales baron rating 88 100

red thunder review beer rock the red january 19 2013 brewery victory brewing company downingtown pa style baltic porter aged in red wine barrels abv 8 5 my review just in time for the return of hockey beer rock the red read the first beer rock the red as you regular readers know when the baron isn t scaling the world s tallest peaks or being the world s second most popular vigilante he practices an even more dangerous profession washington capitals fanatic recent studies have shown that being a capitals fan takes an average of 12 years off of average life expectancy in adults even when accounting for common factors such working for top secret government contractors or daily 20 mile 2 hour long commutes while last season ended in bitter disappointment once again we have a new coach and a few other new faces he looks like a rapper bringing a renewed sense of optimism before the season kicks off today will the caps win the division this year after a second place finish last season possibly will ovechkin return to form in a more offensive system i hope so will florida go 10 0 38 and somehow win the division again probably now to the actual beer portion of the post what s the difference between a baltic porter and a regular porter the baltic variety are invariably bottom fermented lagers while the normal versions are top fermented ales baltic porters are also usually stronger 8 vs 6 and sweeter than traditional porters victory has taken their baltic thunder and aged it in once used red wine barrels from wente vineyards creating red thunder the baron is a sucker for almost any brew aged in barrels don t even think about it budweiser and i m a huge fan of victory brewing co so i had to get my hands on this beer appearance red thunder pours a dark brown with ruby highlights its quickly dissipating tan head disappears faster than alexander semin in the playoffs oh well not our problem anymore 8 10 aroma red thunder has a nice subtle aroma of roasted malt raisins and chocolate usually barrel aged beers have a stronger aroma which i enjoy but this is quite pleasant as well 18 20 taste the flavor is enhanced by the barrel aging with loads of red wine berries tannin joining the expected vanilla cocoa and roasted malt red thunder has a dry tart finish a little more tartness would push it into a don cherry when canada loses to america level sourness so it s just right the way it is it reminded me a bit of jolly pumpkin s la roja but with an addition of roasted character very good 37 40 palate red thunder is medium bodied with ample carbonation like i mentioned earlier it is quite tart so if you re not into that flavor profile then this brew will not be quite as smooth to you don t worry i ll finish the bottle if you don t like it 8 10 value for the price of 9 99 you can enjoy this unique brew i honestly expected it to be in the 12 15 range so this is a pretty good value for the 750 ml bottle i have seen it sold for closer to 8 in other areas stupid cost of living near d c 18 20 overall 89 100 my recommendation if you re a beer nerd and you can find red thunder it s definitely worth checking out the red wine characteristics bring an interesting flavor profile to the brew but it will taste funky if you re only used to ipas stouts etc the tartness will also be off putting to those who prefer more traditional beers personally i thoroughly enjoyed red thunder it reminded me of a chocolate and red wine pairing only not as snobby and without judgmental servers sir you aren t supposed to swallow that s what she said if you enjoy barrel aged brews or any experimental beers for that matter i recommend you give victory s red thunder a look salud and go caps leave a comment beer tagged alcohol american made baltic porter beverage

godfather of the bell s winter lineup expedition practices the art of war sure some of the other beers are flashier but everyone knows expedition runs the show when expedition speaks other beers listen when expedition doesn t get what he wants a rival brewer finds a hipster s dismembered head in his bed don t mess with expedition or his family and if he makes you an offer style imperial stout
