Review: Samuel Adams Boston Lager

This is the flagship of the Sam Adams lineup. Not always my personal first choice, but a great beer and glad that Samuel Adams has persevered against the big brewing corporations. One the best example of American craft brews. I don't think I can add to all the awards and reviews out there other than to agree. I was amazed to find out that this was the first American Beer to pass the Reinheisgebot German Purity Law of 1516.

Review: Michelob Hefe Weizen, Honey Lager, Pale Ale, Black & Tan and Amber Bock.

My mother always said if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all, BUT.... Michelob decided to jump on the Microbrew bandwagon with a number of beers. They are but pale ( pardon the beer pun) comparisons to the beers they are emulating. Let me list just a few of the problems I have. Black & Tan ( in a bottle?? ). The Honey Lager has none of the sweet finish of a Honey brew. A Pale Ale that is a weak, watery mess. I am appalled at the number of restaurants and bars that have Amber Bock on tap as their token "specialty brew".
For the record I think the standard Michelob Premium beer is fine.

Review: Jefferson Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout

Great Bourbon flavor with hints of chocolate and coffee. Smooth taste, flavor is rich and stays consistent from start to finish.
