Drinking my favorite beer-which now I can get in Denver--Alaskan Amber-great stuff!!.. Redsfann-what local beers do you drink?
Number 2 is in the bag after a very nice bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir with grilled Swordfish and fresh, right out of my garden asparagus.
Happy Memorial Day, Hawkeye! and everyone else, too...:00hour
As far as local beers go, hawkeye, there are 4 local brewpubs here in the Quads, two on each side of the river. best one is right across the river in downtown Rock Island, and I got a growler (2 liters) of Big bad Dog English Ale.
A dark Ale, a bit on the bitter side and an alcohol content of 6.7%....
They also brew a really good Pale Ale and chocolate stout; Front Street Brewery here in Davenport has a really nice Amber Ale and a Light Lager that is great on a hot day.
Otherwise, I drink a lot of Fat Tire from out your way--its been available here in Iowa for about a year now. Was just in Albuquerque last week and drank nothing but Fat Tire.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is another regular beer of mine. Just really depends on what I feel like drinking when I head out to grab some beers, really.
As long as its not American mass-produced swill, I'll give it a try...:mj07:
Who brews that Alaskan Amber beer you are talking about?
In New Orleans there is a beer called Abita Amber, great stuff. Normally not much of a lighter style beer drinker, such as the Ambers or the Lagers, but that was really good beer. Cheers!
