I'm 21 today!, and I want to talk about one of my favorite things- Beer. Here's a few of my favorite brands, stuff that I think everyone should check out.


Guinness Extra Stout. (Ireland)
The most full bodied stout I have ever tasted, its almost like cold black coffee with a kick. This is a must pour beer, lots of aroma, carbonation and head that needs to be released. Enjoy this one on a somewhat empty stomach, its got as many carbs as half a loaf of bread in one 12 oz bottle. Pour this bad boy into a tall or tulip glass, drink it cold or if your feeling ambitious serve just below room tempature.


Shipyard Export. (USA, Maine)
If you are a fan of bitter old fashioned ales this is your drink. I like to think of it as Sam Adams Boston Ale without the price tag. This ones good in or out of the bottle, drink it cold. Shipyard is a good representation of a British ale, brewed right here in the USA. In terms of flavor this one is pretty simple, hoppy and bitter, the way beer should taste.


Anchor Steam Beer, (USA, California)
Straight out of San Fransisco this beer is truly one of a kind. Its a bit more expensive than the typical college budget but well worth it. A mixture of sharp carbonation, excellent smell and color make this American lager good either out of the bottle or poured in a tall glass. I've always found this brand particurally refreshing- something usually lacking in most beers. When it gets a bit colder, the Anchor brewing company will re release its Christmas brew, an incredible seasonal that actually smells and tastes like the holidays. no joke.







Grolsch (Holland, The Netherlands)
Don't let the color of this big bad bottle fool you, Grolsch remains the best "green" beer on the planet in my opinion, and that of my father as well; who is actually the one responsible for getting me hooked on this one. With the look of a European pilsner, and the taste of a lager, and the feeling somewhere in between, what ever it is this dutch beauty is smooooth. this beer is simply incredible- it does not break the bank either. Drink cold either right from the cool ass bottle, or pour into a tall glass. Grolsch is great pairing with food, epically sea food!








St Peters Organic English Ale (UK)
A truly one of a kind ale, And its organic! My sister bought be a pint of this on my 19th birthday, and I have been searching it out every chance I've gotten after that. This ale contains alot of sediment, which is an important part of the head, so If you get your hands on this one make sure of one thing- you pour it! be sure to end with the bottle vertical over the glass, so all of that great aroma causing hoppy sediment is the first thing you taste. This beer is bitter bitter bitter, and if you love english ales like me you will love this one. Cool bottle too!

Well thanks for checking out a few of my favorite brews, hopefully you will get a chance to try some of them sometime, enjoy.
