ied was magic hat s roxy rolles another beer that i like but that i ve had a million of this winter the color remained the same chunky red but a little more transparent this was a pleasant surprise since the severe woody hops of roxy completely choked the life out of what was left of the wattle seed ale if i may the wattle seed was the colonel from boogie nights and the roxy rolles was his large african american cellmate slapping him and telling him to shut up all told i am going to have to try cutting these terrible beers a lot more neither pairing was an improvement upon it s original non wattle seed counterpart but it saved me from having to waste precious precious alcohol posted by unknown at friday january 09 2009 3 comments labels drinkability reviews written by bill wednesday january 07 2009 a new year for three sheets if you ve never had the pleasure of viewing an episode of three sheets the globe trotting drinking show it s probably because it was only available to about 34 households nationally while exclusivity is nice it may also have something to do with the december demise of mojo hd the network that aired the first three seasons if you haven t seen the show you should it s great well maybe great is strong but it sure is fun host zane lamprey is genuinely funny and three sheets manages to be irreverent and informative without geeking out it s equal parts beer wine and liquor and all about drinking locally as if that weren t enough zane is from syracuse and went to college at suny cortland which is interesting to all of us at beerjanglin considering our various connections to central new york anyway don t take my word for it watch the damn thing the first three seasons are available for your viewing pleasure on hulu com don t worry it s free and legal season four has been shot already and is merely awaiting a good television home we ve got our fingers crossed flourishing tip of the ol cap to mr rick lyke another fella with syracuse roots for pointing out on his excellent blog that a new episode the second annual new years eve pub crawl from london is streaming on mojohd com check out the first ever show three sheets belgium below posted by bojangles at wednesday january 07 2009 2 comments labels news opinion tuesday january 06 2009 albany s old chicago closes old chicago pizza and pasta famous for offering 110 brews has closed its only new york state location the owner of this particular location had previously filed for bankruptcy protection so this move can t come as a complete shock to anybody who has been paying attention old chicago opened on wolf road in colonie which is albany as far as we re concerned amidst much fanfare in the fall of 2007 we visited on more than one occasion and were generally pleased in the chain restaurant wasteland that is the wolf road corridor at least you could get a decent bite to eat and wash it down with something other than a smithwicks or the current sam adams seasonal the problem as far as attracting the infinitesimal segment of the population that into this sort of thing is that they didn t do much in the way of rotating taps and getting something new and interesting on a regular basis i get that they are a chain and are uhh were operating under some corporate constraints but in a town in which a place like mahar s has thrived for years there might just be at least a bit of a demand for a beer selection that sets you apart from all those national chain joints surrounding you the latest offering from redhook ain t exactly gonna get it done or maybe people around here are just as happy to eat at appleby s and the olive garden and enjoy a bud light bucket special when they are lucky enough to come across one maybe it has nothing to do with local tastes or beer selection and the dude simply took on too much debt in getting the place up and running could be that pesky economy we keep hearing about whatever the cause of your demise we re sad to see you

antique cans it wasn t long ago that drinking beer that came from cans was considered something far too gauche for the drinker of finer beers but brewers such as saranac sly fox and oskar blues have been scoffed at such constraints now rather than being ignoble canned beer is considered just as acceptable as bottled beer in some cases it may even be better for transport and storage purposes plus we all pour them into a glass anyway don t we long gone is the metallic taste that used to creep into the miller lites and coorses of our youth since the can liner was pioneered by keystone we have not had to add aluminum to our tasting notes with this stigma now removed i felt little guilt about purchasing a twelve pack of four canned beers by butternuts beer and ale in garrattsville new york butternuts website describes their mission thusly it s a place where common men brew approachable beers for other common men translation no pretentious eight dollar a bottle weenieweissers allowed here the ingredients are simple and natural the brewer s art is practiced with creativity and reverence to the old code the beers are eminently drinkable and farting is funny believe it or not none of us at beerjanglin added that last line so there is a clear some might say belabored credo to appeal to the just plain folks demographic in fact the site often takes irreverent potshots at the classic english and german styles but will they apply the same irreverent whimsy to their beers the first beer i tried from the four options was the porkslap a pale ale that is also curiously labeled a farmhouse ale i later realized that all four of the beers were misleadingly labeled farmhouse ale being that they are apparently brewed in a rustic area porkslap pours a big fluffy head there is a massive amount of carbonation climbing up the yellow orange amber colors there is a decent amount of haze in the glass but still remains somewhat clear the aroma is spicy with some crystallish pale malts there is a touch of some orange peel and citrus the curious earthiness that i might expect in a hefeweizen is it really a farmhouse ale the taste is a pretty typical pale malt taste but with almost zero hops there is a slight citrus taste that could be attributed to a hop but little more it s not bad but it s crystal malts or bust the feel is fizzy and bubbly it s not a great beer but for the right price it s not a bad one my second selection was the traffic light yellow snapperhead ipa it pours a nice finger of fluffy white head not exactly clear but not what you would call cloudy either it resembles a bright pilsner the aroma is of a pale ale or an english pale ale certainly not your typical american ipa some citrusy hops do come in but they are sweet and very very mild the smell is weak not bad just weak and another oddly earthy tobacco in the malt the taste is more heavily toasted malt than anything it s a surprise it ends up being bitter on the back of the tongue the hops are citrusy but very sharp tart astringent almost acidic there are two bitters the burnt kind and the grapefruity kind it actually could use more of that earthy balance in the malt that it had in the aroma the beer feels fizzy on the tongue like ginger ale it is a very sharp drink lots of bitter flavors and not enough balance for my liking it s average third on the list was the thick and milky moo thunder stout it isn t the most impressive beer i ve ever had because of the lack of head instead it has a brown film that floats atop it is a black color with a brown tinge at the edges it s about average to look at but the rest of it gets a heckuva lot better the smell is sweet raisin and black licorice granted i hate black licorice but it fits here it s not burnt or bitter it s sweet and even just a bit sour in a good way the first sip is slighly roasted stout flavors more of that sour raisin to balance the roasted malts which are very nice it s tart because of that sweet raisiny taste and really pleasant because of it comes in as it warms with toffee caramel and molasses the feel is milky smooth appropriately and just a tad bubbly it s quite good the fourth beer in the pack the weissbier really surprised me it pours a cloudy as hell banana yellow there is no head but it doesn t seem to move appears slightly illuminated the weissbier has a pungent and spicy belgian ish ale aroma also it has the sweetness and wheat base of a hefeweizen mostly it s orange peel and a hint of banana very strong and very pleasant the taste is citrusy and orange it has the flavor of belgian spice which is subdued but acts as a nice accent sweet in an appropriate way it s puckery at the end it feels milky and bubbly dry at the swallow this is a surprisingly nice wheat beer it has the sweetness of a hefeweizen with the wheaty mildness of a witbier in my ever so humble opinion the weissbier and the moo thunder are the class of the pack although the porkslap is their flagship beer here s hoping that if cans are truly the superior method of beer transport that some of our finer breweries begin making the move so maybe our beers will stay out of the light and last longer i have no idea if this is actually true posted by unknown at tuesday december 30 2008 2 comments labels new york brews reviews friday december 26 2008 ithaca excelsior white gold with all the fast moving happenings in the craft brewing world we have been remiss in being slow to ignore some of the good things that the ithaca brewing company has been doing lately i first took notice on thanksgiving weekend when i noticed that their seasonal twelve pack was absent the previously ubiquitous apricot wheat beer a popular beer of which i am not particularly fond instead the twelver has four solid offerings the decent pale ale the gloriously hoppy cascazilla the surprisingly nice oaked nut brown and my favorite winter offering gorges porter ithaca has also thrown their hat into the big beer movement by offering 22 ounce bottles of new beers in their excelsior series they have just announced the release of their new αlphαlphα double honey bitter and it has become clear that we are way behind in getting in on the ithaca action note it is going to be hard to find information about the excelsior series on ithaca beer s own website since it s not listed among their beers they may want to get on that ithaca has released a beer in the series called white gold which is labelled as a strong pale wheat ale the label describes the beer thusly a belgo american ale brewed with domestic barley and french wheat malts the finest continental and u s grown hops and fermented with belgian english and wild yeasts here s what i thought about it the look is a very clear straw yellow color it has a massive puffy head when poured into a tulip glass the liquid is anything but static quite the contrary it looks like champagne on the interior with throngs of upfloating bubbles rushing to the surface other than that it is very clear appropriately so with each sip it leaves a thick and frothy lace the aroma is of the typical wheat vardiety with only a mild spiciness that comes more from the mild hop than from any possible belgian yeasts there are fruit flavors that come through like a light accent mostly lemon orange peel and apple the malts are estery and crystalline a little spicy the flavor is primarily apples the sweet red kind and the sour green kind all this is balanced by a dry wheaty base the beer is both sweet and spicy you could call it franco belgian surprising taste of pineapple as well as a mild leafy hop the pale malts mix well with that wheaty twang as the kids are calling it these days at the end of the sip it turns slightly more sour probably due to warmth all these sweetish spicy sour flavors blend nicely with a frosty thickness on the tongue lending themselves to a feel that is both bubbly and creamy white gold is sweeter than most beers of its ilk but it s balanced enough on the other ends of the spectrum to make it very drinkable while there is a hint of sour and lots of other tree fruits that make it a good beer for girls and boys posted
