Happy Cinco de Mayo friends! What better way to celebrate than a world class Vienna Lager from Arches Brewing - Mexican Empire 5.2% ABV. Rated 97 by The Beer Connoisseur Magazine. This one is a personal favorite of Let Us Drink Beer! Can't go wrong. There's still time to grab some on the way home. Purchased at @jaxfinewineandspirits
Ah yes, the much maligned American Lager. Designed to be drank ice cold and in large quantity. @archesbrewing proves American Lager doesn't have to be bland, and does so in a lighter version! Lloyd's Light is a 3.8% ABV gem of a go to beer this summer. It's crisp & thirst quenching. Magnum, Hersbrucker and Callista hops provide delicate floral and spicy aromas and flavors with a restrained bitterness. At 3.8% ABV this is a highly sessionable beer. If you want to impress your non-craft beer drinking friends, bring some of this to your next gathering. I'm sure it will be a hit and may even win over a few converts. Born out of a collab with Victory Brands back in 2019. Lloyd's Light is readily available at Total Wine, bottle shops, and grocery store around metro Atlanta. Purchased mine at my local Kroger.
Beer snow cone? No slow pour pilsner! Awesome pour. Seasonal Contrast pilsner 5.1% ABV from @nofobrewco. This is a straight ahead single malt, single hop pilsner. Saaz hops is featured. Really shows off the spicy/herbal characteristics of Saaz. Light to medium body. Starts malty, finishes crisp and bitter. Well crafted beer.
Ever wonder about what beer styles were like before Prohibition? Probably not, but I'm a total beer geek, so I have. This is @nofobrewco Eagle's Beak Kentucky Common 5.8% ABV. It's a uniquely American historical beer style that Prohibition nearly killed. Found mainly around Louisville, KY, it's called Common because it was the predominant beer sold in the area up until Prohibition. It can be clear to slightly cloudy and light to medium brown color. It's a malty brew with low bitterness. You find it to be soft and silky due to a high percentage of corn used in the grain bill. Eagle's Beak is on the darker end of the color spectrum and provides some toffee-like notes along with some graininess. A very easy drinking ale. Nice departure from the hoppy beer styles for a little something different. We have a real gem of a brewery here in North GA in NoFo Brew Co, because they are not afraid to try a wide variety of styles. Very cool!
This a terrific Czech style Pilsner from Jack's Abbey Brewing. Sunny Ridge 5.2% ABV. Medium bodied. Frothy white head with great retention. Good malt complexity. It's loaded with spicy/herbal hop flavor and aroma. Moderate bitterness that balances malt sweetness well. Finish crisp and dry. It's a really enjoyable beer to drink. A real beer lover's beer. Well crafted. Purchased at @jaxfinewineandspirits
Weekend reload with some @tuckerbrewingco Tucker Lager and, inspired by @crafthandler , found @jacksabbycraftlagers Sunny Ridge Czech style Lager at Jax Fine Wines & Spirits. Something familiar and something new for me. Cheers to your weekend! 🍻
