Lion Stout Review

Brewery: Lion Brewery

Brewery Location: Sri Lanka

Alcohol: 8.8%

 

This was yet another beer my coworkers gave me as a parting gift from a long time back. This is finally the last of the ones that I wrote anything about.

I kind of goofed and drank all the beer before remembering to take a picture, so a bottle photo is all I have, unfortunately. 😀 Continue reading

Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel Review

Brewery: Andechs

Brewery Location: Andechs, Germany

Alcohol: 7.1%

 

This is simply my favorite beer in Germany. I love thicker, darker, stronger beers, and this hits every spot.

Sometimes the Reinheitsgebot (German Beer Purity Law) can be annoying, as I feel that it limits innovation and the amount of styles of beer, but then I will drink one of these on special occasions and get reminded of the silver lining to the rule.

A sharp eye might notice that this is the same glass that I use in almost all of my beer reviews done from my house. You might also notice that it itself is indeed an Andechs glass. Instead of returning it to the booth at the Cologne beer festival a couple years ago, I pocketed a couple, and almost every beer I drink is in one of these glasses.

Cannabia Beer Review

Brewery: dupetit Natural Products ?

Brewery Location: Richelbach, Germany ?

Alcohol: 5%

This was another beer my coworkers gave to me when I stopped working at my last job.

I am not entirely sure of the brewery name or location, as both the website and the bottle itself were not very clear. I suppose that does follow the theme, though, in that is felt a little half-baked…

This beer was a little more unique than most beers I have had in that it had hemp in it, which was an interesting ingredient. The company that produced this beer also seems to produce a lot of other hemp related products like perfume and other various items.

In the end, this was simply a pils with an extra ingredient.

Guinness Extra Stout Review

Brewery: Guinness
Brewery Location: Dublin, Ireland
Alcohol: 4.1%

Following my post about my visit to Ireland and the Guinness Storehouse, I thought it would be fitting to post a review about a Guinness beer. This was actually just part of my crate of beer I was given by my friends and coworkers when I quit my last job. I didn’t actually drink this while I was in Ireland, but it was fitting to post it now. Continue reading

Cave Creek Chili Beer Review

Brewery: Crazy Ed Chileen? I couldn’t really find a brewery name other than the brewer himself.
Brewery Location: Tecate, Mexico
Alcohol: 4.2%

This was another beer my coworkers gave me when I quit my last job. This was definitely one of the more unique and interesting beers I have had so far.

Complete with chili inside

Yes, that’s an actual chili inside the beer. It’s not every day that you see that! Continue reading

Leffe Brune Review

Brewery: InBev Belgium
Brewery Location: Leuven, Belgium
Alcohol: 6.5%

This was another beer that my friend got me when she went to Belgium. As I opened the beer, it practically erupted with foam, getting all over my desk and mousepad which made quite the mess. You can see in the picture that almost half of the beer went up in foam, which was a little disappointing.
