Profile: I don't drink very often, so when I do I like it to be something that I enjoy. I'm always looking for a new favorite beer and love to support local and small companies. This seems to be the perfect way to try something new, promote the little guys and to share my thoughts. What week is root beer week?

Week 3: Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale (January 14-20) | Reviewed on January 21st, 2008

I thought that the taste of this beer was fine for a pale ale, but it had a bit too much foam. I think it was still expanding in my stomach when I went to bed. With that being said I would be interested in trying Flat Earth’s other beers and really liked that it came in a large bottle. Drinking feels more social if you share a bottle of beer, like a bottle of wine…

Better than last week.

Week 2: Gluek Honey Bock (January 7-13) | Reviewed on January 9th, 2008

I have to say, I rather enjoyed this beer. Maybe it was because I was comparing it to the last beer I had - the beer from week one.  It was quite smooth, although if I had to drink all 24 cans that they forced me to purchase, I’m pretty sure that I would never drink it again. I would consider buying it again once in a while if they offered a six pack.

Well…I’ll pass.

Week 1: Schell Snowstorm (January 1-6) | Reviewed on January 7th, 2008

I like to judge books by the cover and beer by the label. Obviously this isn’t a good idea in either case. Schell Snowstorm has a very pretty label, but the contents are boring. After drinking half the bottle I had no desire to finish it.  I typically like beers with a fruity taste, but it just wasn’t there. I won’t lose hope. Let’s see what Schell can come up with next year.
