Text of the page (random words):
me get a fancy glass can t wait till spring of 2013 for the real thing i know it s been a long time since i posted anything on the blog but i most definitely will be posting about this brew since it will be in my home town of macon ga we tryin to get high class and all stayed tuned and drink something different for a change posted by fourboysbrewpub at 5 40 pm 1 comment friday march 4 2011 old fizziwig ale samuel adams ok now that the flu has left the building we can get back to our weekly beer drinking um i mean reviewing this week is a beer i have seen before but never really thought to try well the cold has returned for a few days and the label on this beer really looks like it is a winter ale perfect match right let s see old fezziwig ale samuel adams it pours darker than i thought it would darker than a good brown ale but not quite as dark as a porter or stout a very dark ruby brown has a nice head sticks around nicely once it settles to a thin cap it definitely gives you a winter ale smell lots of spices hints of cinnamon and nutmeg with an alcohol backbone oh but this isn t your ordinary winter ale that gives you a burn in the belly from the alcohol no this goes down very smooth no sign of alcohol at all nice hints of the cinnamon that you got from the scent finishing with a small dose of bitterness from the hops nicely balanced and laid out now that i have tasted the beer i can look at the bottle i mistake the ginger scent for nutmeg so it is really ginger not nutmeg that you get in the scent and it is actually a christmas beer and i must say this really would be good with some pumpkin pie ala mode so be sure to keep some of those winter ales stouts and porters on hand till spring really has fully arrived cause ole mother nature likes to play tricks on us in march and april cheers beer friend fourboysbrewpub posted by fourboysbrewpub at 6 44 pm 2 comments labels samuel adams friday february 25 2011 best worst of 2010 ok since the flu has had me dragging ass this week and instead of drinking some really good craft beer i find myself pouring gatorade down my throat besides i really don t feel like i could give a good review anyway this i figured would be the perfect time for the best worst list from my little venture like i said before i don t want to simply do a top 5 bottom 5 list but also do more of a most interesting least interesting so i will probably do the top 3 in taste top 3 in complexity bottom 3 in taste and bottom 3 in interest so my top 3 in pure taste would be in no certain order 1 java stout bell s brewery this was my first coffee stout and the beer that really opened my mind to enjoying stouts 2 sch whea t sweetwater brewery this beer could just as easily been in the most surprising i normally don t like any of the sweetwater beers but this one is just a really good summer beer 3 double chocolate stout young s after my initial dislike of stouts was broken i began to really look for anything and everything stout and so it didn t hurt this beer that i also love chocolate so now the bottom 3 in taste again in no real order 1 mcsorley s black irish lager i really wanted to do st patty s day justice and find something other than guinness i guess there is a reason guinness is the best irish offering 2 wild blue lager blue dawg aka a b leave it to anhesuer busch to make a bad craft beer 3 ed hardy premium tecate brewery just like st patty s day i wanted something special out of the ordinary for cinco de mayo well the normal tecate is ok but this was just plain bad ok now that the standard best worst is out of the way let s make room for some other more exciting lists most surprising 1 drifter widmer bros i have had their normal wheat beer and it is good but i really didn t expect anything mind blowing from this beer but was treated to a nice surprise in this really good summer spring brew 2 frambozen new belgium now it really shouldn t surprise me that new belgium had a good beer but i really didn t think a raspberry beer would be to my liking it was tart without being sour and was pretty easy to drink 3 coffee oatmeal stout terrapin i probably didn t know what to expect from this but found a really smooth coffee beer combination that works almost better than java stout by bell s i might have put this one in the best 3 had java not come first and really changed my thinking of stouts most disappointing 1 celebrator doppelbock ayinger this is supposed to be one of the really great beers but i found it way to overwhelmed by alcohol i felt i was drinking a straight up whiskey bourbon scotch drink not something i want from my beers 2 vanilla java porter atwater brewery i was really looking forward to this beer it was the first java beer i found after bell s java stout and i thought wow vanilla java might actually be even better so to be fair maybe it is a good beer but i had it built up too high in my head 3 palm belgium s amber beer i mean really if you advertise as belgium s amber beer you better blow my mind this is belgium we are talking about which may possibly be the beer capitol of the world so it is their fault i had high expectations for this beer that just fell flat most interesting 1 bitches brew dogfish head even after all the build up from the debut show on discovery about this beer and the fact that macon ga only got 19 bottles and i ended up with 3 it still ranks as the most interesting beer i tried all year maybe even in my life i would still buy more if i could find it and it could just as easily be the number one beer in taste for the last year 2 allagash white allagash brewing i had heard so much about this beer i was almost afraid to try it i felt there was no way it could live up to my expectations thankfully i wasn t disappointed what a beautiful belgian white this is there is simply no need for any orange slice as it gives you plenty of citrus 3 punkin ale dogfish head like a good peach wheat i simply can t pass up a pumpkin flavored beer maybe it s because it was one of the first beers i ever tried brewing myself and so i find i must try each one to see what i need to add to my own least interesting or better yet most like water 1 la cross lager i mainly tried this cause a buddy brought it back from his annual fishing trip on lake erie and it was one of those old beers you always heard about lest just say thank you once again to jim koch fritz maytag and all the other craft brewers that knew there was more to beer than colored water 2 little kings got this from the same friend from the same trip he said one of the guys they go with used to drink this when he was in high school well i started out on natural light and busch beer so i can t really fault him but this was just plain and dull probably a little like drinking the water after boiling your corn on the cob 3 sawtooth ale lefthand i have heard good things about lefthand but haven t really experienced them yet not that this was a bad beer but more like a plain average ordinary beer not really something a craft beer should taste like it didn t really have an identity or character so there you have it all kinds of list from my journey of 52 beers in 52 weeks i think my next journey may be something along the lines of trying one beer from each of these breweries on this map the only thing cooler than that would be to visit each state while doing it hey who s up for a road trip or two or three cheers fourboysbrewpub posted by fourboysbrewpub at 6 58 pm 2 comments labels best worst 2010 friday february 18 2011 bell s lager beer lager of the lakes good news and bad news good news is i am not reviewing a stout of any kind tonight bad news is i actually picked up a few more for future reviews for tonight i thought i would pay homage to this awesome weather we are being treated to low 70 s and clears skies feels like baseball is just around the corner ok on to the beer bell s lager beer lager of the lakes wasn t real sure if i should get this one or not but it is from bell s and it isn t a stout so i grabbed it anyway i got a good hoppy scent from the bottle before i poured it but now that it is in the glass i am almost getting the standard american lager smell let s hope it doesn t taste like that it is also very golden and crystal clear much like the american lager one difference though is the head this one is sticking around very nicely taste is very crisp and almost harsh and leaves a strong hop bitterness in the aftertaste mouthfeel is very thin but that is a plus if you are wanting a nice cold lager on a hot summer day all in all not so sure i would go out of my way for this one definitely not one of their better beers this beer comes across as an attempt to brew a beer for the masses not a good thing if you are a craft brewery oh well weather is good 3 day weekend i guess you can t have everything it also looks like my home state georgia will continue to prohibit alcohol sales on sunday our state legislature squashed the latest bill that would at least let it become a local option giving the people the power to decide i found this quote in our local paper today georgia is one of only three states that still forbids stores from selling alcohol on the sabbath i really find it hard to believe in this day and age that some people here in the south still feel this way maybe they feel they have lost control of everything else and figure this is the one thing they can hold onto and don t give me the we need at least one day a week to stay pure cause if that were the case it wouldn t be allowed in restaurants or bars on sunday ok i m off my soapbox cheers fourboysbrewpub posted by fourboysbrewpub at 2 50 pm no comments labels bell s friday february 4 2011 hazelnut brown nectar rogue ok even though it is still too dang cold to do anything useful outside i made sure i would review a non stout beer this week now it is a dark beer just not a stout or a porter but a brown ale the hazelnut brown nectar from rogue to be exact this will only be my third rogue beer the first was dead guy ale which i was none too impressed with and the other was their chocolate stout that i purchased at the same time as this brown ale don t worry it will not be in a future review although it was very very good so they are batting 500 with me hazelnut brown nectar rogue it pours a little reddish brown very similar to a glass of sweet tea sans the ice and with a nice white head i pick up some nutty flavors but not really an overwhelming hazelnut scent more of just a general roasted nuts flavor maybe i m expecting too much very interesting first taste i immediately get a sweet flavor that i assume is from the hazelnut that quickly turns bitter and then just as quickly turns to a smooth creamy finish not real sure if the bitterness is from the hops or the roasted malts checking the ibu s i would have to say it is from the malts i really can t say that i have had a beer that goes from sweet to bitter to smooth before usually the bitterness will be the last thing you get it has a very nice nutty flavor throughout though that really makes this an interesting beer for such a smooth creamy taste it s mouthfeel is a little thin not that that is a bad thing just something else very interesting about this beer so i guess now rogue is a slick 665 with me i will have to give some of their other beers a try now i was really staying away from them based on the first experience so beer friend make sure you pick up enough beer tomorrow for the superbowl unless you live in one of the cool states that allow beer to be sold on sunday we here in ga aren t so lucky and is there anyway both teams could lose not really a fan of either team maybe i should find a drinking game to play along with the game at least that would keep my attention cheers fourboysbrewpub posted by fourboysbrewpub at 5 25 pm 3 comments labels rogue friday january 28 2011 southern tier choklat chocolate stout has taken over my mind it is all i think about when trying to find new beers and as i mentioned last week it isn t going to stop this week although i do admit i really need to find a new style that i at least want to try ok so moving on i am a little late in bringing you this review because i got in a deep discussion with my brother in law about the difference in draft beer and draught beer he didn t like the answer i gave him that they are one in the same just american vs uk basically so 20 minutes later i get to try the southern tier choklat that i have been dying to try choklat southern tier brewing co it pours like you would expect em black i was disappointed in the head or rather lack thereof and i always think to myself when a beer doesn t pour with a good head is it flat is the glass not beer clean did i pour it wrong who knows i really try my best to do all of those things correctly but i will admit that pouring a beer from a 64 oz growler isn t the easiest thing to do it doesn t taste flat so maybe it is the way i had to pour it the smell is probably the chocolatiest beer i have ever smelled and yes this time i do mean chocolate as in a candy bar chocolate the taste is really smooth at first but then you get just a hint of burnt bittersweet baker s chocolate coming out the alcohol flavor doesn t really hit you in the taste but rather on your stomach like you just took a small shoot of bourbon but not nearly that heavy you know you re not drinking the standard 5 abv but it isn t like you can taste it like some of the other 10 abv beers out there so this beer poses a unique issue it hides the alcohol so well and taste so good that you want to just really chug it down but after the second or third swallow you know you are dealing with a serious beer and you better be careful so remember if anybody out there has some ideas for how i can get of this chocolate stout kick i m on well i m all ears in the mean time drink up cause there is plenty more where that came from cheers beer friend fourboysbrewpub posted by fourboysbrewpub at 6 57 pm no comments labels southern tier older posts home subscribe to
