Beer, revisited


My top 5:

1. Rogue Dead Guy Ale
2. DC Brau
3. Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster
4. Heavy Seas Loose Cannon
5. Dogfish Head 90 Minute

If anyone has any suggestions of what I should try, especially when it comes to beer from the UK, please let me know. I've always been a wine drinker so beer is a newer thing to me.

What part of the country you visiting, Liverpool? If so look out for some Mad Hatter Brewing, haven't had a bad beer so far.
 

my friend Jose, who teaches courses on brewing here in Paraguay is up in the US at the moment. he's currently in Fort Collins, Colorado and was with other SA brewers getting a tour of Odell Brewing. They make my favorite "regularly available" IPA. Love it. Great balance of hops and citrus. 7% so not a killer. Jose knows I love their beer. And sent me a video message from his phone from Doug Odell himself.

"Hey, Craig, Jose is here. When are you going to make it up here?"

Freaking awesome. The man himself laid down the gauntlet.

Just tried Rogue Dead Guy Ale last week, it's pretty nice. For UK stuff in the US, I like the Boddington's nitro.

Fuller's is really nice, although it's expensive near me. I even like Old Speckled Hen (although some might suggest that voids my suggestions.)


Fullers is beautiful beer as is Speckled Hen, but they both have to be kept properly, which a lot of places don't. The most common fault is they serve them too cold which takes away all of the flavour.

Ps - Boddingtons stopped being a decent beer when they shut down the brewery in Msnchester. It's barbecue beer at best - no offence mate.

It may be terrible, but it's got decent flavor and comes in a nitro and so provides decent mouthfeel. Not a true English hand-pulled pint, but a wonderful contrast to highly carbonated American beer. I love American beer, but it's easier for me to get than a true bitter, so Boddington's is a good alternative.
