Red Stripe Jamaican Lager

Published on 2012-05-25 05:36:00

As a result of the whole "Obama Beer Summit" between President Obama, Harvard Professor Louis Gates Jr, and Cambridge Mass Police Sgt. James Crowley, I decided to check my beer stash to see if I had any of the beers that were supposedly being served. It turned out that I did have a bottle of Red Stripe Jamaican Lager! > read more

Lindemans Cassis – Brouwerij Lindemans

Published on 2012-05-18 06:27:00

Lindemans Cassis, from Brouwerij Lindemans was the beer I enjoyed after preparing my taxes this year. I thought of something American to celebrate the end of my ordeal, but I was really hankering for something different. Its hard to find a beer more un-beery than a Lambic. > read more

Published on 2012-04-27 06:14:37

Both Scott and I have reviewed beers from St Peter’s Brewery in the past for The Brew Club, and St Peter’s Brewery was kind enough recently to send me samples of their two newest brews... and it is peat, and peat smoked English whisky that flavours these two new brews. > read more

Caesar Augustus Lager-IPA Hybrid Beer

Published on 2012-04-24 05:21:16

Caesar Augustus Lager-IPA Hybrid Beer. The brewery’s Sales and Marketing Director described Caesar Augustus as ‘a gateway to ales for lager drinkers’... well it’s refreshing like a pilsner, although those aromatic hops take it into the realms of those golden ales that I’ve tried for The Brewclub this summer, but with an underlying lager ‘bite’. > read more

Curious Brews Revisited

Published on 2012-04-17 05:46:48

Back in the summer of 2009 I reviewed ‘Curious Brew Brut’ from the Chapel Down Winery in Kent, for The Brew Club. At that time I was unimpressed and gave this ‘premium’ lager a single star. While I didn’t exactly feel guilty about my review, when I saw two ‘Curious’ brews in a supermarket chain whose beer buyer I respect, I figured that it was perhaps worth revisiting the brews. > read more

Thornbridge are fast gaining a reputation for brewing quality ales – not to mention shedloads of awards so, when I decided to explore Golden Ales for The Brew Club, I figured that it would be remiss of me if I didn’t include their own Golden Ale in my list. > read more

Ridgeway – Bad King John 6% ABV

Published on 2012-04-10 05:40:30

In recent weeks we’ve hit a rough patch here at The Brew Club with a few disappointing ales; so I thought I’d turn to the beer that won the Sainsbury’s Great British Beer Hunt last year.
