details on what the new site will entail beyond the blog i ve had a lot of various ideas for it but i need to get them on paper and put together something that makes sense and that will be informative and fun to visit so please change your blogroll links or bookmarks or any links you might have anywhere to point to http www thebeersnob com i ll be keeping this blog up here for at least the next few months but will be updating over at the new site instead thank you and cheers the beer snob posted in beer reviews 4 comments beer review goose island s matilda march 27 2010 the bottle and the cool wood packaging in which it was sent goose island is not a brewery i am very familiar with i reviewed their bourbon county stout last year and it was a great nuanced beer with neverending depth of flavor recently they sent me a press release about matilda being available in the west and they followed it up with a bottle of matilda herself to be reviewed on this blog about the brewery when the first goose island brewpub opened its doors in 1988 domestic mass produced beer was deeply ingrained in midwestern culture the craft beer industry was still in its infancy with only a handful of brewpubs in existence in the midwest in his travels across europe beer lover john hall had enjoyed a distinctive local brew in each region he visited hall was convinced that midwesterners could produce beers as good or better than those he d tasted in his travels living on the shore of the largest system of fresh water on the planet earth in a city with rapidly evolving tastes john decided that his hometown chicago would be the ideal place to do just that source gooseisland com the beer according to the press release since 2005 matilda has garnered accolades from food and beer critics around the world medaling in both the prestigious world beer cup and great american beer festival with an alcohol by volume of 7 and a shelf life of 5 years the finished product is true to belgium s tradition of brewing with spicy yeasts harkening rich aromas such as coriander and allspice matilda is brewed with a rare yeast strain that also lends a slightly fruity flavor the pour this poured semi thickly into the glass an orangey amber color this beer was quite hazy from the yeast that remains in the bottle the tiny head it poured to dissipated very quickly i was writing notes on the color of the beer itself when i looked back and the head was already gone i pour the first half of a beer with the glass at 45 degrees then pour the rest at 90 degrees to try to generate a decent head without overflowing the glass the nose this beer has a great yeasty and fruity nose it almost has some of the characteristics of a hefeweizen in the nose as well the fruitiness behind the yeasty bready notes may be mango or some other less common fruit the taste upfront crispness sweetness and bready flavors give way to a fantastic spicy peppery if you ask me flavor on the back of the palate and lingering through the finish the finish also lets loose some slightly bitter hoppiness mingling with nice yeast i would say this is a slightly full bodied beer with a slightly cloying mouthfeel though the first drink seems crisp and clean overall matilda is a lady and what an interesting sophisticated lady she is she s sweet when you first meet her but her spiciness and personality really shine the more you get to know her they say women are like fine wine they just get better with age matilda is a cellaring beer suitable for cellaring for five years but even now freshly bottled she is showing signs of her future elegance recommended yes the spicy notes are terrific and this really feels like a peppery white wine though it only contains about half the alcohol price this was a sample sent by the brewery pr folks abv 7 abv according to the press release posted in ale beer beer reviews belgian style 1 comment goose island s matilda makes her way west march 25 2010 award winning

ale march 23 2010 what to say about schlafly they are a brewery i am still unsure of at this point i really enjoyed their pumpkin ale but i think i am generally just undecided about them right now about the brewery from the schlafly web site in 1991 anheuser busch had brewing plants in 12 cities and produced enough beer to fill 28 billion bottles that same year a burned out building on the corner of 21st and locust street was resurrected as the city s first new brewery in over five decades and schlafly beer was born unlike its much larger neighbor the saint louis brewery is dedicated to the notion that a local brewer can once again thrive in america s brewing capital and although the brewery has grown steadily since its inception it remains dedicated to the local market brewing a wide range of traditional beers that pay tribute to the area s great history read the rest of this entry posted in ale beer beer reviews esb seasonals 1 comment beer review founders old curmudgeon ale march 20 2010 i love doing a beer review when i have no frame of reference for the beer i got this beer as part of a silent auction package i won last year and it s been sitting in my closet ever since i had heard of founders brewing company before as well as their old curmudgeon ale but hadn t tried any of their products i hadn t read about this beer either so i was completely without expectation or preconceived notion when i first cracked this open read the rest of this entry posted in ale beer beer reviews 3 comments bravo gelato nashville and yazoo brewery two great tastes that
