Beer Review! St. Bernardus Pater 6
Another day, another beer review! This Belgian beer comes from the St. Bernardus brewery. The beer pours very well, with a good pillowed head, and a soft brown color. Take a whiff, and you’ll already smell a bit of the nuttiness that to come. It’s a dubbel style beer, with 6.7% alcohol. The first sip [...]

Beer Review – Echt Kriekenbier
Another beer sampled on our recent Asheville trip was Echt Kriekenbier, brewed by Brouwerik Verhaeghe. This beer was definitely the most unique of the bunch and too my knowledge was the first Sour Ale I have ever tried. The ABV of this drink is 6.8% and, as the picture above shows, the beer has a [...]

Beer Review! – Buffalo Belgian Stout
Continuing the beer sampling that took place this past weekend at the Thirsty Monk, next up is a dark one, the Buffalo Belgian Stout- and it pours and looks just like a good stout should. And a sip of this beer will hit you hard at first, and has a good bite right on the tip of [...]

Samuel Adams Beer Lover’s Choice

Beer Review! Sierra Nevada’s Brown Saison
Made my way out to Pizza Peel tonight for what they said was 1 of 12 kegs in the state of North Carolina filled with Sierra Nevada’s Brown Saison. Before the review, let me say that I like Sierra Nevada’s brews, but I’ve never been a huge fan. Also, I’ve never heard of Saison-style before, [...]
