Good day to you, Avid Reader; in an effort to showcase more beers from cans, I decided to break into a variety pack I’ve had sitting for a few months. I was just waiting for the right time of year to unleash the contents upon you and figured now would be as good a time as any. This week we are checking out some brews by the Butternuts folks from upstate New York. I should mention to you this is not my first encounter with these beers -- but we’ll get to that later on. To the tasting!

Robert Cain Brewery, Dark Mild
by J Frazzetta on May 7th, 2012 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Can
Last week I spoke about a canned beer that was not your run of the mill canned beer, oh no, it had some class to it -- and I’m going to further dispel the myth of canned beers by talking about another one. That’s right, Avid Reader, this week we’re taking a sample of a beer I’d never seen before and figured I should indulge while I could. Even though the weather is getting warmer it doesn’t mean I’ll stop drinking darker beers, I’ll just drink them less often, because you have to bend the rules sometimes.

Newcastle, Founder’s Ale

As you know, Avid Reader, I’m always on the lookout for unique or "one off" brews to sample and tell you about. I find them to be more rewarding than a typical beer you can find in vast quantity at any store. Case in point, I present to you a deviation from those folks at Newcastle; you may know them for their standard brown ale but have you heard of their Founder’s Ale? That’s what I thought, allow me to introduce you.
With any good beer I pick up to sample, I always allow for a little quality

Sierra Nevada, Ruthless Rye IPA

Before we start this excursion, Avid Reader, I should preface that I do not drive a Chevy, nor do I reside by a levee and the rye we are sampling this week is in a beer instead of whisky. You can still sing about the day the music died if you’d like to; I’ll be telling you about my new favorite spring time IPA courtesy of the folks at Sierra Nevada.
Back in 2009 I fell victim to the amazing Torpedo Extra IPA. Then in 2010 it was the Glissade that did me in, and for

Nepenthe Ales, East Coast Pale

In keeping with the theme of staying local, I wanted to talk about another beer that was brewed not too far from my current residence. This particular brewer is a subsidiary of The Candia Road Brewing Company, right in Manchester NH, and I might have to check them out in person one day. The label drew me in and so did the name, since it took me a few minutes to figure out how to pronounce it. Either way, the slogan on the side reads "post-modern takes on an ancient tradition"; how can you go wrong?
