Beer Review 51: Allagash Four

January 31, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

In our constant attempt to impress you, yes you… the ladies… Beer Friends branch out this we and try Allagash Brewing Companies Four.  This is a intense Belgian beer, 4 hops, 4 malts, and fermented 4 times!  All those led to a pretty big beer ranking 10 on the ABV scale!  Beer!  Portland, Maine! Belgian!

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

From Polish to another cold weather country – Canada!  Trois Pistoles is a Dark Strong Ale with a lot of Fruit flavor.  The Beer Friends have had this at one of our local watering holes and enjoyed everything that we’ve had from Unibroue.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

After enjoying a few days back in the states we head back overseas to Poland to Czech (ha) out Lezajsk 1525 Premium Beer from Zakłady Piwowarskie w Leżajsku S.A.  Although Beer Advocate (and it’s readers) doesn’t like it… it’s beer and who doesn’t like beer?

January 29, 2011

Our friends over at Uncrate.com have found another useful little Beer-Tool:

The S-Biner Ahhh from Niteize.

Sure you’ve got your key chain bottle opener from you favorite Brewery/Bar/Hello Kitty Convention, but what do you do when you don’t want to bring any keys with you?  The S-Biner Ahhh to the rescue!

With its “S” curve design it’ll clip and carry anything you want to any belt loop, back pack or fridge magnet  you want.  The best part is both sides are openers so you never have to worry about picking it up backwards.

Click here for the link and grab one for $4, that’s a pretty good price if you ask us.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

From Stoudts in Adamstown, PA to Victor, Idaho to the Grand Teton Brewing Company to try their Bitch Creek ESB.  ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter and this beer is a “sturdy testament to the American bitter tradition” according to Bob Klein who wrote the daily beer calendar we’ve been following.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

After yestersdays Russian lager we stay cold with Staropramen Premium Beer from Prague, Czech Republic.  This Bohemian Pils from Pivovary Staropramen A.S. combines honey sweet malt and haylike Saaz Hops and ends up more like a Pilsner Urquell.  Prost!
