Mmmmm, doughnut!  Mmmmm, beer! A doughnut flavored beer?  Really?? Yeah, really.

I had Bright Ale on tap at Porky's Cafe in Shelton.  It's lemony and hoppy but I thought the taste was odd and definitely a little detergent-like; perhaps the combination of lemon and bitter hops.  It was a little off putting but drinkable.

Captain Lawrence Brewery Liquid Gold is a perfect beer to refresh a dry body on a hot day.

It's remarkable how well coffee and beer mesh together.  Dark toasted malts and roasty coffee beans to go together like they were meant to be.  Brash combines the two very well in Texas Exile - an ale brewed with coffee.

Sah'tea - not my cup of tea but not a bad beer

White Birch Brewing is a small brewery in Hookset, New Hampshire.   They brew in small batches and are currently running on a 7 barrel system.



I totally appreciate a real hand crafted brew.  I've heard good things about the brewery and I picked up this…

It's not surprising  but the taste is unlike any other beer and very difficult to explain.  Birra Etrusca Bronze is something to be experienced.

Zoe was my 1st beer American Craft Beer Week

Zoe by Maine Beer Company is a very drinkable ale.  Very tasty and a good example of the style.  I wish I hadn't had to share.

I haven't met a Lagunitas brew I haven't liked. When I see a Lagunitas beer I haven't tried I'll snatch up a bottle or two and give it a go knowing I won't be disappointed. They've made me happy again with Maximus Ale.

My recommendation is that if you're visiting Willimantic Brewing Company for the first time that you focus on their house brews.  They are always fresh and consistently good. You won't be disappointed.  But once you've tried them all, there is invariably a number of good brews on the guest taps.

I just so happened to be in the vicinity of Thimble Islands Brewery so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to stop in and get a growler refill.

They are great people and they make great beer!

I received this bottle as a gift.  I don't know if it's a beer I would have selected for myself.  That is, if I saw it on the shelf at my beer store, I wouldn't have picked it up on impulse.  But after trying it, I would definitely grab a bottle or two of Buffalo Gold. It's a surprisingly tasty beer!

This ain't your gramma's apple pie! Apples soaked in beer. Crust made with beer and sharp cheddar cheese. Beerific apple pie is the result!

This pie is made with Summer Ale and Boston Lager - Cheers!…

Cool name, fun label, good beer.  

Sometimes I'm attracted to a beer specifically because it has a cool name or a creative label.  I picked up Fish Paralyzer because of both.  And, there's the added bonus of a fun little tale on the back of the label.

This is comfort food!  A hugely flavorful recipe using chicken and beer.  Easy to make, impressively delicious.  An excellent dish to prepare for a social gathering or as a nice satisfying meal.
