Budweiser Flag Can

Budweiser (Limited Edition Flag Can)
Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
St. Louis, Missouri
5.00% ABV
Style: American Lager

C: Clear as water
H: Straw Yellow
N: Sweet Corn, Straw

The Ferm: Well I am a few days late, as I wanted to run this review for the 4th. That said I hope that everyone had a great holiday.
Ahh the American Flag Can....how can one resist. Fireworks, BBQ, Pools/Beaches/Lakes, and a American Beer in an American Flag Can. What is more American?!? Well for starters how about drinking a beer that is American, and owned by an American Company! Yep, if you are still of the belief that A-B is American owned....well not only are you wrong, but you are also ignorant.
Regardless, I am here to talk about the beer! Does it taste better than normal Bud? NOPE....but it does make me look less educated than a normal can.  Tons of corn flavored crap.
The beer is just bland...one thing I have learned is that I can pound a ton of these, since my tolerance is built around high ABV Craft Beer. Regardless, the beer has it's place.

EvilTwin, Hunahpu, and more Shenanigans

Well as Aerosmith once sang "I'm Back in the Saddle Again".  Speaking of has anyone watched this season of American Idol?  It is typically horrible but this year is even worse!

Regardless.....This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with the most successful Guest Blogger that has ever been on DosBeerigos. EvilTwin is back and ready to go. Successful...that's right....someone found out that EvilTwin could write and is paying him to write about beer! The Examiner has EvilTwin covering The Ft. Lauderdale Area's Beer Scene! Yep...he gets paid....and I well I get to do this thing for free! (Lucky You!)

Well anyways now that Casey has hit the big time he can only review 3 beers with me....(I can't afford to pay him for any more!). So this week we will have 3 AMAZING BEER REVIEWS, and I will fill the remainder of the week in with news about events. By events I mean HUNAHPU RELEASE INFORMATION!

That's right kids Hunahpu! The beer that have people foaming at the mouth for Cigar City Brewing Stuff will be released this upcoming Saturday. There will be all kinds of crazyness going on this year! I hope to see you in Tampa.

In the meantime you can always catch up with the bi-weekly podcast on your drive over to CCB, that would be United We Drink. Find it for FREE in Itunes!

Ohh Yess and there also may be some information about a possible Imperial Maple Bacon Release at my favorite local brewery.....STAY TUNNED!

AleSmith Grand Cru

Grand Cru
AleSmith Brewing Company
San Diego, California
10.00% ABV
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale


C: Cloudy
H: Amber
N: Booze Heavy, Malt Strong, and lots of Yeast Odors

Miguel: This one is a gift that Kirk Diggler gave me for my birthday last month.  And as we opened it up we got some more knowledge dropped on us by Fresh Beer Webguy about the meaning behind the name Grand Cru.  That guy isn't a certified Cicerone for nothing.  This particular Grand Cru is of the Belgian Strong Dark persuasion.  A malty nose with hints of caramel in it and an obvious Belgian yeast character.  The taste is a lot of the same with some dark fruit added in.  There is a booziness about it that becomes even more so when it warms up.  While I think this is a solid beer I wouldn't say this is AleSmith's best effort.  They have numerous others that I believe are much more worthy of a name like Grand Cru.

Score: 3.7224

The Ferm: Holy Booze Batman.....this beer is HOTTTT! Tons of yeast in the attack followed by a large amount of dark fruit. But wait....the BOOZE comes back the tail-end of the taste is covered in Booze Burn. Very good beer even though it is hot. I could see this aging extremely well. Overall not my favorite AleSmith beer, but good!
Score: 3.802

Craft Beer - A Hobby or an Obsession?

Ok, so this topic has been kicked around my circle of friends for a bit and this weekend it came full circle to being a topic in my house.

Is this whole Craft Beer thing a hobby or an obsession?

The topic came up when I decided to take a picture of part of my cellar for a contest which is being ran by Fresh Beer Inc. I proudly lined up a majority of the beers that I had in my cellar to take a picture to submit to the contest. While I will admit I was sort of taken back by the volume, I also realize that others have just as bad of a "problem".

While the photo shoot was being conducted, The Cerveza Chica came home and saw what I was doing and said simply "YOU'RE CRAZY". Yep, she thinks this whole thing is an OBSESSION.

I disagree though, like I said on this weeks past episode of United We Drink, I think that collecting beer is no different from collecting comics, baseball cards, or even wine.

I want to hear from you about what you think.

Is this a hobby or an obsession?
