The final review of the four beers from Penobscot Bay Brewery is the Half Moon Stout, a 5.5% ABV Stout in, what else, a 220z bottle. The brewery’s website says that the Half Moon Stout is based on an old Porter recipe described as brave, proud, or “stout.” The beer is named after the vessel that Henry Hudson was in when he entered the Penobscot Bay in 1609. Enough history, time for the beer.
My tour of the beers from Penobscot Bay Brewery in Winterport Maine continues with the Meadow Road Wheat Beer. The brewery bills this beer as being a true Hefeweizen, so I’m expecting a some nice banana and citrus flavors with a good bready yeast and wheat backbone.
For craft beer lovers, it may be one thing you wish never happens. You’re out to eat at a restaurant, or out at a pub with your friends and there is no craft beer available. Here’s what to do, so that you can enjoy yourself and your company without looking like a snob.
Summer, though it may not feel like it, is slowly coming to an end. This means that summer seasonal beers are on their way out at the fall seasonals are on their way in. I, for one, am not ready to admit that the seasonal change is upon us, so today I have the Southern Tier Farmer’s Tan Imperial Pale Lager, the summer seasonal of Southern Tier’s Imperial series.
Founder’s Brewing Company has always offered, in my opinion, top notch beers consistently across many different styles. I was at Canal Street with Shane and saw that they just received the Founder’s Devil Dancer IPA. Being a fan of IPAs, I jumped at the opportunity. This 12oz bottle cost $8.00 and stands tall for a labeled “Triple IPA” at 12% ABV.
