Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Despite what you might think, avid reader, the contents of that bottle do not resemble Red Stripe, and for that I say: hooray beer! Try as I might, no part of me enjoys Red Stripe and I have given it many a fair chance to sway me. Instead we have a well made black lager that is fine for a cool fall evening after a long day of work.
In the spring and summer months, a normal lager will always hit the spot and taste refreshing. Then, in the fall and winter months, a black lager will lift your

Saranac, Black Forest Lager

Bottle/Tap: Bottle
I picked up a Saranac variety pack a while ago and this was the only one I hadn’t tried. I thought that since it was November and it is starting to get cold in New Hampshire, a darker beer would be on track. I was right: a darker beer always tastes better in November.
Black Forest is a dark Bavarian style beer. It is jet black and has a faint aroma that might be considered sweet to some noses. I cracked it open, let it get warm and gave it a swirl or two. Upon first taste I noticed

Estrella Damm, Lager Beer

I’m still on my worldwide beer kick and this week I happened to sample a star from Barcelona. Founded in 1876 the S. A. Damm Brewery has produced a few varieties of beer and I decided to give their flagship lager a try.
Right off the bat, there was a very nice gold color as I poured this in my big glass. This beer was modeled after a pilsner style but has some lager characteristics. I noticed a slight bitter taste that was full bodied at first and smoothed out over time. I happened to be eating nachos with

Narragansett, Lager

Bottle/Can/Tap: Can
Sometimes the best things are the simple things. I know that I talk about drinking beers with ‘complex flavors’ and ‘intense aromas’ but every once in a while it is nice to kick back with a lager and relax. For such an occasion, Narragansett is selling their lager in 16 ounce tall boy cans, and trust me--16 ounce cans are the new 12 ounce cans. I happened upon a six pack and put a few in the fridge waiting for the right amount of humidity to crack them open.
Marketing their lager as ‘the official beer of the Clam’,

Beer Review: Moosbacher, Lager

A few weeks ago, I found myself in Nashua buying a few Bavarian beers. Considering I’m not too familiar with beers from this region, I picked up a few bottles to help educate myself. You learn something new everyday, right? That’s what I was thinking.
I decided to start with the lager, since I enjoy lagers and just made my own. I find lagers to be an easy beer to drink any time of year. I had this beer chilled in a big glass, and I was very happy with the golden color. I had a healthy swig and
