Beer

[El Kabong]

I've recently been digging on a local brew here in Greensboro its called Red Oak its an amber lager. They also make a bock called Battlefield and a very nice lighter lager called Humming Bird. They are all brewed in accordance to the 1516 (I think) Bavarian purity law. You can also mix and match them, its great stuff.

I like Belgian beer good enough, Tripel Karmaliet is great stuff.

Weihenstephaner is amazing stuff. Dixie Blackened Voodoo is good, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sweetwater 420 IPA, I just love all different types of beer.

It's a Saturday night, and I've seen away a couple of Bishops Fingers, which were lovely, and now enjoying a Bateman's Victory ale, which at 6% I would normally find to be quite strong tasting, but actually is really nicely balanced, and doesn't taste as strong as it is.

I've got some Hooky Gold and a Honey Beer, along with a few bottles of Magners cider to help see through this evening. Then depending on how coherent I am, I may move on to a snifter or two of the Isle of Jura I bought myself for my birthday.

I am always keen on trying local brews when I find one. I'm sure I've had plenty of Belgium beers but Mare D'sous (sp?) is the only one that stuck in my memory. It is done by Belgian monks and is 15% alcohol if I remember. Didn't take many (2) to give me a wicked buzz. I am fond of a couple Louisiana breweries. Dixie beer makes a really good Blackened Voodoo Lager that has a good bite and Abita has a couple of good beers. I normally don't like fruity beers but Abita as a rasberry wheat called Purple Haze that is tasty and a strawberry ale that goes down great on a hot summer day. Here in Texas we have Shiner brewery which while is in no way a micro does good stuff. A Shiner Bock and Texas BBQ go together like hookers and blow. I drink a lot of Sam Adams' beer particularly the black stout and boston lager. I also really enjoy a mexican beer called Bohemia. When it comes to light and cheap I often get a six pack of Corona or Lone Star for long days on the lake.
