Craft Beer Review: Simpler Times Lager

Minhas Brewery Description:
There are times when an
ice-cold beer fits the bill. This is an easy-drinking brew that’s
reliably tasty without being fussy.  It’s a straightforward beer with
good hop flavor without it being over the top. This speaks of a simpler
time when you could order a beer, and they wouldn’t bring you a full
menu. They’d just bring a good beer at a good price. Life can be
complicated, but your beer does not have to be. Enjoy the taste of
Simpler Times. 

Craft Beer Review: Horny Blonde For You

From Horny Goat Brewing: This beer is brewed to be clean and crisp with
the hops slightly edging out the malt on the taste. A generous addition
of German hops will leave the finish quite dry which is accentuated by
the softness on the palate given by the white wheat.  Horny Blonde took
Silver in the Premium Lager category at the 2012 Great International
Beer Festival.

Craft Beer Review: Crystal Pale Ale

From Samuel Adams: This crisp pale ale is named after Crystal hops grown
in Oregon, which give the beer its distinctive American hop character. 
That classic aroma and citrusy, floral flavor that the Crystal hops
provide is accented by the subtle earthiness of UK hops and balanced by a
deep yet subtle malt sweetness with notes of toffee.

Tasting Anderson Valley Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice® is our take on the classic style of “winter warmer.”
Boasting a deep amber hue and rich mouthfeel, its creamy finish will
lift your spirits. Hints of toffee, spice, and caramel tease the senses
making this the perfect ale to share with friends and family during the
cold days and long nights of winter.
