Continuing my work on the Ithaca Brewing Company’s variety pack that Shane and I purchased, I pulled out a great spring brew. The Apricot Wheat is the signature brew from Ithaca. It is available year round but I consider it a great spring tasting beer. The apricot sits at a mild 5% ABV, making it a solid sessionable beer.
While browsing my local distributor this weekend I came across a variety pack that was just shrink wrapped six packs for a reasonable price. After checking out the pack ,it turned out it was a Belgian variety of beers now produced by the craft brewer, Michigan Brewing Company.
I was feeling a little adventurous when I grabbed a bottle of Raspberry Ale from the Thirsty Dog Brewing Company. As part of a mixed six-pack from one of my favorite little spots (Craft Ale House), I decided that it was worthy enough for a review. This beer was better than I expected with its smell and taste but the 3.9% ABV was a little disappointing.
When I bought the bottle of Three Philosophers for a previous review, the guy at the store told me that I should also try out Kasteel Rouge, from Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck in Belgium. Being the adventurous type I decided to try it out as well.
