Brewery: Crazy Mountain Brewing Company
Brewery Location: Edwards, Colorado
Alcohol: 5.25%
This was just a beer that I got at a bar when I went to Manchester. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it’s actually an American beer. I just really wanted an amber ale, which is why I ordered it.
Brewery: Leinenkugel’s
Brewery Location: Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
Alcohol: 4.9%
Fat Tire has been my favorite American beer for a long time, but this is now a strong contender. While I was in the USA a couple years ago, I tried this, and I was blown away. Continue reading
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.
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.
While I was in Iceland, I had a few different beers, and all of them were expensive!
As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the places I got some beers was a craft beer shop I had discovered.
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
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
Brewery: Iki brewery
Brewery Location: ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Alcohol: 4.5%
Another one of the beers from my coworkers. This one was brewed with green tea and yuzu, which is a Japanese citrus fruit, like a lemon, I guess. Despite the bottle’s look, it’s just an Asian-inspired beer based in the Netherlands. Continue reading
Brewery: Brauhaus Riegele
Brewery Location: Augsburg, Germany
Alcohol: 9%
A friend of mine bought this for me for my birthday. Continue reading
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.
