Goose Island IPA Review from the Weekender

 

Goose Island is another great brewery coming to the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival and this review was first published March 20,2013.  Not 100% sure if they are pouring this at the fest, but here's hoping they are because this would be a nice thirst quencher on a warm summer afternoon!


Cheers




Chimay Blue Review from the Weekender



Continuing in the build up to the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival... here is my previous review of Chimay Grande Reserve... commonly known as Chimay Blue... from the Weekender.  This review was first published January 2, 2013... however the fact that it is delicious and worth trying still rings true.  Even more amazingly is that Chimay will be at the festival a fact that I am amazed by and can't wait to try a few!

Sam Adams Oak Aged Porter




Armetta's Pizza in Clarks Summit has this nice brew on tap for very reasonable prices.  I had one today and its very 
tasty! It's a nice porter with vanilla, caramel, and oak highlights throughout. I have a feeling this one won't last long so do yourself a favor and stop by and have a glass!

Stone Ruination Garlic and Cheddar Soup

In my recent review in the Weekender of Stone's Ruination IPA I mentioned a recipe for a wonderful soup.  I have included a link to the recipe for this soup here.  If you make it please leave some feedback.  I made it awhile ago and it is truly amazing.  It is also very filling.  If you have a loved one that enjoys all things cheesy than you simply HAVE to make them this soup!  Enjoy!!

Also, if you want some other AMAZING beer recipes than you need to pick up The Craft of Stone Brewing within is a wonderful list of a variety of recipes, all using Stone's variety of beers.  I have loved everything I made using these recipes!

Cheers!

Ommegang Hennepin Review from the Weekender



I am going to continue to re-list previous beer reviews over the next few days, no not because I am lazy, but I feel they may be useful for those heading to the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival on June 15.  The reviews I am going to be listing are beers from breweries that will be attending the event. 

So in continuing with this, here is my review from February of Brewery Ommegang's Hennepin, a wonderful saison.  Enjoy!

Canned Watermelon

 

In lieu of the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival I am re-posting some of my previous reviews from the Weekender.  Namely the beers and/or breweries that will be at the festival.  This re-post is of 21st Amendment's Hell of High Watermelon wheat beer.  A nice refreshing summer beer


Steamtown Beer and Music Festival





We are now one week away from the Steamtown Beer and Music Festival.  The lineup of breweries is incredible and I am truly blown away by the sheer amount of participants.  It seems like every time I go back to check the line up more breweries have been added.  Haven't seen the line up yet? Check it out here
