Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout

Hey Hey Hey ( Like Fat Albert Say)
~Funky Brewster

I like Samuel Smith Beer! In the past, I've reviewed their:

• Oatmeal Stout and..
• Nut Brown Ale

I also like Chocolate Stouts! My biggest post, to date, is the review I did for Underworld Brewing's Chocolate Stout!

This one smells, and tastes,  like Hershey's Dark Chocolate! Very dark in color, I couldn't see my hand through the glass ( or is it that I'm Black? LOL).All jokes aside, I enjoyed this beer.

MMMMM!

Yeah, boy!

It has a sweet taste, with a dark chocolate bitter after taste.Unusually great! I had to travel to the other side of town to find this one...at a corner store nonetheless. What I like about living in San Diego County is the number of Beer Lovers.The community of beer lovers allows one to find some of the best Craft Beers at a corner store, instead of a specialty store.Not that stores like that don't exist, it's just that you don't have to go far to find a good Craft Beer!

I paired this with a Steak and Fries dinner.Watching 30 Minutes or Less back to back on Channel FX.

The Pairing: Steak and Fries

This beer gave me a helluva "buzz", too. I was only 1/4 of the way through the bottle and felt "great in spirit"! Highly recommended, if you're into a flavorful Beer!

Until next week...

Cheers!

New Belgium Brewing Fat Tire Amber Ale

Howdy!

I'm still in the process of getting a reliable camera. Please bear with me.

This week I decided to review New Belgium Brewing Fat Tire Amber Ale.

The first time I ever heard of this beer was at a pizza joint out here called Killer Pizza From Mars. They not only have "killer" pizza that's outta this world, but they serve craft beers, as well. I was with a buddy of mine and he ordered it. I wasn't into craft beers yet, so, I know for a fact I was guzzling a Heineken.

Fast forward a few years and here we are. I'm tasting and reviewing it.

 I like this beer (there's really NOT that many I don't like)!This one has a nice, light, smooth taste. Not really bitter, just goes down smoothly. No "beer face" for me ( although, that's why I usually record myself, so, you can see my reaction to the tastes)!

It has a light orange brown coloring to it..Like so..

Yummy-ness!

What amazed me was the consistent bubbling that was going on THE ENTIRE TIME it was sitting in my glass.I don't know why this was so amazing, but it was to me.

It definitely captures that Belgium-esque taste.Didn't have that "bologna" smell, though. which is okay with me. I can see pairing this with some kielbasa, or maybe even some smoked sausage, with some sauerkraut.I'm getting hungry as I type this sentence.

Gave me a nice comfortable buzz with the one bottle.A "plus" for me.Spirits MUST have "spirit" to it, as far as I'm concerned.

My suggestion: Light up the grill and put some bratwurst, kielbasa, smoke sausage on the grill and crack one of these while you burn.Finish burning and crack another one while eating your grilled fare.Highly recommended!

Until next time... Cheers!

Kona Brewing Company Big Wave Golden Ale

Helloooooooo ( in that voice they did on that episode of Seinfield)



How have ya been? I thought I'd review this beer since I did enjoy their Longboarder.
I had just gone grocery shopping with the Wife, where I picked up some Steak-Umms!
I had to have a beer with this greasy treat.I went to my trusty corner store and picked through the Kona Brewing "section" of the freezer.


After "hooking up" the homemade hoagie with all the fixings, I ran into the "studio" to begin tasting.I try to give you my "beer face".That's my niche. I think.




I dedicate this post to Brady Walen at Kona Brewing Company for responding to me the first time I tried their beer.Cheers!

My Beer Gut

Me in the gym 7.11.12

I have a beer gut.

Most of YOU have a beer gut. I know you do. Does your beer gut hurt your back? Mine does.

I’ve somewhat started a crusade to kill the gut, but I won’t STOP drinking beer. My choice. I think I’ll just have to be a little more moderate about my consumption/drinking/puggin’/guzzlin’. That’s my challenge. I’m currently weighing in at 217lbs at 5’10”.

Any suggestions?

Click the pictures below, if you like YOUR beer gut...or if your just interested in the products.
Thanks.
