    Saranac Brewing

    For those folks out there with access to Saranac's line, I tried their Pumpkin Ale this past weekend.

    Definitley taste the pumpkin. Surprisingly, nice head, and great malt taste. No bitterness that I detected either.

    My first sip said,"My god! This is pumpkin in a bottle." The finish was much smoother, and not so "pumpkin", the other flavors tended to come out as well.

    I'm not big on their other brews, but this one was two thumbs up from me.

    sounds like a nice seasonal that one might enjoy one of in front of the fireplace.

    Here is one to stay far far away from, Yuengling Porter. Good $*^#!*& %^&! This brew is total shit in a bottle! How do you screw up a PORTER?

    Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.

    An insult to wheat and cherries everywhere.

    I've never had a cherry wheat beer that was appealing by any brewer.

    I'll stick to my guns on this topic: beer should contain nothing but barley, hops, yeast and water. Any additions to or subtractions from that list is an abomination in the eyes of the LORD.

    Hock, patooie.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Wheat, rye and oats are acceptable in beer.

    In your beer perhaps. Not mine.

    You need to check out craft breweries... It will make you change your mind. If you are ever in WNY, stop by Flying Bison Brewing and get a sample of their Oatmeal Stout. Or, Buffalo Brew Pub, and sample their lines there :)
