Flying Dog Pale Ale...Doggone good,  Sunday, 24 February 2008 I am a big fan of pale ales..and I am also a fan of this beer. Flying Dog Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale incorporates the great taste of northern and cascade hops into every sweet drop. If you let this beer sit out your tongue for just a second you can almost pull the great taste of the select hops right out of the beer. As we sat around the table sampling, discussing, and enjoying this brew; I found myself drawn away by the great hop taste. When asked what I thought of the beer...my first response was "I'm into this shit".

Go out and try one, hopefully you can share the same experience.

 Smuttynose: A Seal or a Seagul?,  Tuesday, 19 February 2008 This beer comes in a funny bottle, and seems to have raving reviews. Unfortunately, our experience with Smuttynose IPA was not extremely fun, or raving. The Smuttynose Brewing Co. warns the IPA drinkers of the settled yeast at the bottom of the bottle, however we encountered an over the top amount of particulate in our sample brew. This beers aroma entailed an intense hoppy flavor would follow, but fell short to what we would consider a run of the mill pale ale, which left something to be desired. What we encountered is slightly disappointing as this beer comes to us decorated as a
GOLD MEDAL WINNER - Best American Beer 2004 Great British Beer Festival. We will hope that we ended up with bad batch and another review or sample will reveal a "diamond in the rough".

 Kiss Me, I'm Guinness,  Tuesday, 12 February 2008 This is one of our weekly favorites here at BrewEngineer. Why do you ask? Because it tastes so delicious St. Patrick himself will come back to life and slap your grandmother. I recommend anyone and everyone to try this beer at least once, and if you don't like it, try it twice..you will learn to love it....Enjoy.

 SAMUEL ADAMS BOSTON LAGER,  Saturday, 02 February 2008 Long story short..... It doesn't matter how long you have been brewing, or that you brew your beer in a 5 gallon pot on your stove and other companies brew 5 billion gallons at a time, in a 100,000 square foot warehouse. Brew a beer that tastes good, and people will come to love and enjoy it. Jim Koch appreciates where he came from, and keeps the spirit of brewing good beer alive by giving "longshots" a chance every year. As Jim said, his beer is named after the great American patriot, Samuel Adams. I believe Jim Kock has capitalized on what we refer to as the "American Dream", and he stands for many of the same ideas and beliefs we do at Brew Engineer.

 Refreshing taste of Jamaica,  Monday, 28 January 2008 Ever been to Jamaica? 20 below outside? Doesn't matter, Red Stripe is available most anywhere and a few of these will have you feeling as "Eire" as a Kingston local, and have you screaming "Hooray Beer" in no time.
