New Blog Big Horn Ram No Name Imperial IPA

In this blog, we are going to talk about another brew from The Ram Brewery company called No Name Imperial IPA.  If you read my last blog, then you know this brewery.  I try this one at the Wheeling, IL location.  I do know this is available at other locations.  This is a seasonal so if you want to try.  I would say you need to act pretty fast.

When pouring this beer, the color of it is a brownish copper look with constant white head. Over time the head will go to nothing. Nice circus to earth smell to the beer. As far as taste, it is very sweet with an overpowering bitter aftertaste. For being an Imperial IPA, it is very well balance and drinkable beer.

In closing, as long as they have this beer on tap I will be getting by jug filled with it.  I can drink this beer all day without the dry mouth that I get from some normal IPAs to the overpowering Imperial IPAs.  I love this beer.  It is so much better then their normal Big Red IPA.  I realize these are two different IPA styles.  I would try this beer.  Enjoy it!  Drink it!  Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

New Blog Geary’s Pale Ale

In this blog, we are going to talk about Geary’s Pale Ale.   A little back story on this brewery first.  This brewery was founded in 1983 by David Geary in Portland, Maine.  They are the first micro brewery in Maine.  Their first beer is this Pale Ale but since they have open up to other types of beer.

Here is the description from their website, which is www.gearybrewing.com.

 Our flagship pale is a classic British pale ale with a nod to the legendary beers of Burton-on-Trent. Copper-colored, dry, clean and crisp with lots of late hope taste in an appetizing complex with ale fruitiness from imported Hampshire yeast.

This beer pours out as dark copper to light amber color with next to nothing on the head. There is a huge strong grapefruit smell to this beer.  Taste is very well balance with circus to slight grapefruit taste with nice hop finish.  It has next to nothing on the aftertaste. It also has a heavy carbonation taste going on this beer. This beer is a very very drinkable and sessional beer.

Here is where you can get information about this brewery:

In closing, I really enjoy this beer.  For a bit this brewery is now available in the Chicago Market.  However, if I am around Portland, Maine, I will be drinking up and visit their brewery.  If you are live or around Maine, go out and search for this great beer.  Please let me know what you think of it.  Enjoy it! Drink it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

Ram Brewery Wheeling IL

I love supporting great brewpub with great food.  I didn’t realize I had one in my backyard.  I am talking about the multiple locations brewpub called The Ram Brewery.  Their beer is a really good for a great value for the price.  This is a perfect place to take people that are new to craft beer world that want to sample new Craft Beers.  The other one I would say in the Chicagoland market would be the #1 craft in Chicago which is Goose Island Brewery.  They have two location in the city but if you are in the burbs of Chicago The Ram has two location in the Northwest.
