Eagle Rock review # 2

OK, I did not deliver on the promised Eagle Rock video reviews. They will have to be pushed to February. The reason being that I have a crapton (technical craft beer term) of beer from the Southeast of this fine brewing country and I could not rationalize buying more beer whilst staring into a full ‘fridge.

It’s a great problem to have though!

Instead here is a video of some beers from Tennessee, Yazoo Brewing and Smoky Mountain

Thanks to Ayn and Gev for doing the legwork (driving) to get me these brews!

Eagle Rock review # 1

So I planned on having a review of an Eagle Rock beer in this space. But then the anniversary party for their 1st year of business got scheduled. SO now you get some photos from the event.

The beers on tap!

Jubilee, the Christmas Ale makes an appearance!

I had not tasted Jubilee before and am still mixed on it. The front end is fruity and then a spice blast hits at the back end. It is a warmer but certainly not what I expected. I also sampled the Yearling which is young Flanders Red which was tart and sour and just damn tasty. I also had the sour Solidarity. Only one sip, so no review or judgement to be passed.

A true video review will happen later. (I just got some 50 States beer so I couldn’t justify buying more beer when the ‘fridge was stocked to bursting!)

Review – Black Star lager

Thank goodness industrial water lager beers are done with. I can put that away for a few years. What better way to cleanse the palate then with a well-made lager.

This beer came to me from the efficient marketing folks at Black Star along with a nifty package of goodies. So let’s see how Black Star tastes (in can and bottle)
