Beer Festivals: Cincy Summer BeerFest 2017

Here are a few highlights and a walk around from our summer Cincy Beerfest which occurred September 8th and 9th in which we had a lot of beer and a lot of fun. We featured beer from all over the country as well as our local breweries from right here in the Cincinnati area. It was a great day for some outdoor beer drinking and a good time for all. Check out some of my footage here and Cheers!

Beer Review: Guinness Draught

The Guinness Draught from Guinness is a classic in the beer world and a staple that all beer lovers and drinkers pretty much know. The Draught version is a Dry Irish stout which I have drank many times in the past, but oddly enough it is also one that I hadn’t reviewed. So what better time than the present to do so, as it was another beer that was included in the Brewers Project from Guinness that I had previously purchased. This version of stout comes in with an alcohol content of 4.2% ABV making it a sessionable beer to which many have certainly enjoyed as such, and has also been characterized as being a great low calories option for those watching the waistline. I’m not doing that but I am drinking beer, so let’s take a look at it shall we? And please feel free to comment and share any views that you may have too. I always enjoy and encourage feedback, that being said check out the video for my take and Cheers!

Beer Review: Guinness Dublin Porter

The Dublin Porter is one more of the beers that I picked up recently with the mixed Brewers Project from Guinness. This beer comes in at a low and I mean low alcohol content, as it is only 3.8% ABV. The idea of a session beer definitely comes to mind. But it’s all part of the project, so looking forward to checking this one out and hoping it provides to be a good one. Let’s see how it goes, and check out my video here to see my thoughts on this porter ale. If you have had this one before then please feel free to comment with your thoughts as well, as I always enjoy comparing feedback. Thanks for checking out the site and review!

Cheers and remember to subscribe to get updates as they are released!

Beer Review: Guinness West Indies Porter

The Brewers Project from Guinness seems to be how Guinness is looking to introduce other beers to the market, and their West Indies Porter falls right in line. With an alcohol content of 6% ABV, the West Indies Porter comes in at a decent level for a porter. I am looking forward to taking a look at this one and as a fan of Guinness; I am hoping this beer holds up to the Guinness name. Check out my video here to see my thoughts and if this beer delivers. And if you have had this one then please feel free to also comment and share your views, I would like to know what others feel about this beer as well. Thanks for watching and Cheers!

Smuttynose Zinneke | Beer Review | 8.7% ABV

Zinneke is a Belgian-style stout that was released by Smuttynose Brewing and although it is now no longer in production, I was able to locate one during a past beer run and it is the subject of my next beer review here. This beer comes in with an alcohol content of 8.7% ABV and an IBU level of 46. Smuttynose Brewing is based out of Hampton, New Hampshire and always seem to have some pleasant beers. I am looking forward to checking this one out, so check out my video here to see what I think about this hybrid of two styles. And if you have had this one then feel free to comment and let me know any thoughts that you may have.

Beer Review: New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve: S'mores

From New Holland Brewing Company comes the Dragon’s Milk Reserve: S’mores Bourbon barrel stout and my look at this one thanks to my buddy Eric and make sure you check out his YouTube Channel EricALionsFan. He has some great beer reviews as well as some other things from around Michigan.

This beer itself has an alcohol content of 11% ABV and I am looking forward to seeing what it has to offer for sure. The beer itself is only offered in July according to the website, so glad that I was able to receive it for sure.
