Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale

Keeping this old man and old lady warm. Reminds me of a pale ale but
it's classified as an " old ale" according to Beer Advocate.

Three unfestive beers

Robeer purchased all of the Octoberfest beers carried by a local beer shop (pictured below).


We tasted in order Otter Creek Oktoberfest, Stoudts Oktober Fest, and Victory Festbier. Unfortunately, we were disappointed.  If we had to purchase one of these beers again, Robeer would choose the Otter Creek, though he found it bland.  I would not choose the Victory. Stoudts was evervescent like a cider but not as complex. Victory tasted by crushed juniper berries and I only like gin with tonic on hot and humid day. Robeer thought this beer tasted metallic.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweiss

A hefeweizen that tastes like a strong pils with a Belgian nose and
color. Note the thick head.

Two brews at Georgia's Eastside BBQ

Hush puppies for the vegetarian and pulled pork for the omnivore.  Can you guess who drank which beer?
