Jingle Bell Brews For 2022 #3: Anchor Brewing's Our Special Ale 3.0/5
This is very different from the usual Christmas Ale. Amaro is the adjunct which is an Italian digestif ( after dinner liqueur). I've never had it before so I cannot tell you if it is tasty but it didn't work for me in this brew.
Running 7.2% for the ABV, sob 20's for the IBUs and a best guessed 63 for the SRM it is a different experience but not something I'd look for again.
Thanks for coming by and spending some time with the doggos and I.

12.18.22 Cider Sunday: Cider Corps Blueberry Pie Pastry Style Hard Cider 3.0/5
Another cider from a local cidery, Blueberry Pie Pastry Style Hard Cider continues the string of good intentions not making it into the can. I don't know if she's just over spiced or the spice blend is off but this is another one that wont see the rotation again.

Jingle Bell Brews For 2022: Great Lakes Christmas Ale w Spices and Honey
Running 7.5 for the ABV, 30 IBUs and the SRM is a beautiful chestnut best guessed 35/100.
Very nicely crafted the spices are well balanced. She is full and rich but a bit light in the body. Still in all a tasty beverage for the holiday season.
Thanks for coming by and grabbing one with me.

Jingle Bells Brews For 2022 Abita Office Party 4.5/5
*mea culpa stout but I told you I was tired
Abita Office Party is a solid well crafted "Holiday" brew. Brewed with Cocoa nibs, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. This when done right produces a beautiful experience for the taste buds. This is a classic example of how to do it right. Running 6.8 for the AB, the IBUs are 35 and the Lovibond color scale gives her a 70 out of 100.
She is smooth and tasty with a nice gradient of flavors progressing from the initial hit to the finish.
It's going to be hard to top this one this year but I'm going to give it a try and let you know.
Thanks for coming by and sharing some holiday cheer this year.
As always be the Big 3 folks!

Drink Along 57 Trader Joes 2022 Vintage Belgian Style Spiced Ale 3.5/5
This one from Trader Joes looked more interesting than it was. Maybe she does need some cellaring.
She runs 9% for the ABV, the IBUs are sub 20 and the SRM is a dark ruby brown 90 by my eye.
Not bad for what it is but not a great representation of the style.

12.11.22 Cider Sunday Cider Corps Apple Pie Pastry Style Hard Cider 3.5/5
Another offering from a local cidery to me. Cider Corps is a hit and miss brewer. This pastry style cider does taste as advertised. Cinnamon and nutmeg are present and the sweet/tart balance is spot on. Other than that she doesn't really work for me even at 7 ABV with no IBUs and the SRM is a nice cloudy dark 22 by my eye.
Not bad, not great just fair to middlin.

Jameson runs 80 proof ( 40% ABV )
I haven't conditioned my palate to taste whiskeys so this is just literally a 1st impressions vid.
Thanks for coming by and a big thank you to Culto for the suggestion.

Another delicious brew from Upslope Brewing out of Boulder Co. This is their Japanese Rice Lager and she is Ichiban #1 good
Running 4.9 for the ABV, 13 for the IBUs and the SRM is a by my eye 4.
An excellent warm weather crusher or just a nice smooth dinner beer, either way she's a new fav.

Drink Along 55 Modern Times Orderville Hazy Mosaic IPA 4.0/5
Agave Ed came by with a nice hazy mosaic IPA from Modern Times
She runs 7.2 for the ABV, 75 IBUs and the SRM is a by my eye 5.
"Orderville is an aggressive, fragrant IPA that blends the fruit-forward character of Mosaic hops with resinous stickiness from a mélange of dank hops. The resulting beer is immensely rad, with an unmistakable bangin’ aroma and a fully saturated hop flavor and finish. The cracker-dry body keeps the focus squarely on the massive, incredibly delicious hop character, inviting your taste buds to join a drum circle of flavor in a magical forest of hops."

Cider Sunday 11.27.22 Ciderboys Grand Mimosa Apple/Orange Hard Cider 4.75/5
I was pleasantly surprised with this cider but to be fair they are quite good at what they do. The apple orange mashup seemed destined to go the way of the Tiki Colada. Happily this isn't the case. The apple and orange compliment each other well making this a tasty and easy drinker.
5.0 for the ABV 0 IBUs and the SRM was a bright cloudy orange 17.
Well worth taking a look at if you're in need of a change of pace or just thirsty at brunch.

Great Divide Pumpkin Ale 4.5/5
The last of this years crop, this is the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Solid, well balanced and crafted with a flavor profile even the anti pumpkin spice crowd can abide. This seasonal offering from Great Divide is actually quite good. An exemplary example of making a silk purse from a sows ear.
If you need a last minute adult beverage and run into this I'd suggest grabbing a few, sitting back and enjoying them ( Responsibly Of Course)
"A toasty brown ale with notes of pumpkin, brown sugar, and spices, PUMPKIN ALE is sure to be your new favorite seasonal treat. The rich malty backbone enhances the autumnal flavors creating a delicious sensory experience without being overly sweet."
Running 6.5 for the ABV, sub 20 for the IBUs and the best guessed SRM is a Brown/Ruby 88.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers and sisters and a belated one to out Canadian cousins.

11.20.22 Cider Sunday The Gourd Tree Pumpkin Cider 3.0/5
"Made with Pumpkin Puree and Spices" a pretty standard description of most pumpkin adult beverages. This doesn't really tell you much and the proof is in the tasting. The tasting is not good unless you're still smoking clove cigarettes and love a good Virginia Ham 3 or 4 times a day. I don't know who they contracted this out to but it's just a brutal assault on the taste buds .
Running 5.1 for the ABV with no IBUs and the SRM is a clear darkish 4.

Drink Along w#beerandgear 54 : Trader Joes Simpler Times Lager 4.25/5
So I hadn't been to Trader Joes before but while I was there I grabbed a 6 of their house beer because, well why not. An employee and I were talking about it and he said it was OK but nothing special. You know me I'm a WTF Why Not kinda guy so for $4 how ad could it be.
When I went back to post this vid I was researching on line and ran into a blog post about it. Sometimes I worry that I've lost my way on this journey and become a fully blown Snobbovian asshat because I can be a bit preachy at times. Couple that with my narcissistic tendencies and superiority complex and remember I'm trying not to be that guy anymore. That review was a smack to the chops for me. The reviewer was in fully snobbo mode commenting on funky house yeasts, various esters an over lack of any quality control and cheap is bad. Fair enough critiques for his palate and life style I guess, but I'm just a guy who drinks a lot of beer, has zero formal training and that the good Lord hasn't actually gone full Snobbo Asshat.
This channel is after all just a regular guy beer drinking and shit talking vanity project. Sometime we all need to be reminded that we're just here for the beer and to not take everything so seriously.
And now for the specs:
ABV 6.2, IBUs are sub 20 and the SRM is best guessed as 19
I liked it and didn't find it as plebian as the other taster but different strokes right?
Thanks for coming by and spending some time w me.

11.13.22. Cider Sunday Ciderboys Tropical Wave 4.75/5
Sadly we are without the lovely Mili today but you can find her on her Instagram and Tiktok if you need your Mili fix ( links below)
Ciderboys has turned out to be a real winner in the craft cider world for me. This cider while listed as a veritable Carmen Miranda hat in a can it worked out beautifully for them. Tart ,tangy, fruity deliciousness packed for your enjoyment.
Running 5.0 for the AV, no IBUs and the SRM is a 3 max.
Easy drinking and best enjoyed in the lower ranges around 38-40f
Another winner for the folks from Ciderboys.

Wren House is local to me and not a bad brewery but we have differing taste profiles. She's a nice lager for the style. Not as good as the last one from up slope but acceptable none the less.
Running 4.6 for the ABV the IBUs are sub 20 and the SRM By My Eye is a clear clean 2.
A bit sweet thanks to the corn but over all she is drinkable
