I like red ales, but this one is not my style. I really want to like it. The whole Prohibition thing is cute. I am looking for a red ale to carry at the pub but this isn’t it! It has very little head to it & a scattered lacing that disappeared quickly. Dark amber in color, it tricks you into thinking it is going to be good. I think it may be a bit too hoppy for me. (more…)

This was recently offered to me by a sales rep & it sounded so odd how could I not get it in? So while I can’t stand oysters, their texture or taste, we tried it anyways. After all Porterhouse (Irish Micro-brew) has a pretty decent reputation. This beer is extremely dark! Has a very thick foamy head that leaves a nice lacing & takes frigging FOREVER to pour!! (more…)

I saw this beer in 1001 Beers to Try Before You Die last spring and wanted it desperately! It just sounded refreshing and yummy! It sounded like the perfect summer beer! So since I run a pub I immediately started harassing all my suppliers (and yes I did totally harass them!) for this beer. I even sent my boyfriend on a hunt for it when he was in England! So it recently got passed to be sold in VA last month (after 4 long years proving to the FDA it is organic) and we were the first pub to carry it! It comes in a half liter bottle so it’s a great deal. Now, I HATE MILLER LIGHT, and despite what some people say (BYOBates) this is a great light beer and does not taste like Miller Lt! (more…)
