Episode 3 – Southern Tier – Warking! – (Part 2)

The second part of Episode 3 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. Ken and I continue our conversation about Southern Tier’s Pumking and Warlock by combining them in the same glass for a taste-splosion of pumpkin beer.

As this is not a sanctioned beer from the brewer, i.e. it is not a quality controlled beer released by Southern Tier, we don’t review it per say. Instead, we provide our impressions and let you know if it’s worth trying out. If you want a better analysis of Pumking or Warlock, you should check out part 1 and get off my back.

Episode 3 – Southern Tier – Pumking vs. Warlock (Part 1)

Episode 3 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. In this one, I’m joined by my friend Ken and we put Southern Tier’s Pumking head-to-head against the newly released Warlock in a battle royale (sans murderous Japanese teens). I’m trying a different format, so this ends up being more a comparison than a review. We do give our opinions on the beers, but the depth is lacking to keep the overall time lean.

Episode 2 – Brooklyn Brewery – Post Road

Episode 2 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. I try the seasonal release of Post Road from Brooklyn Brewery and lay down a little info about colonial pumpkin beers. Tis the season for spiced amber pumpkin beers for only a few more days, so get ’em while you can.

Episode 1 – Stone/10 Barrel/Blue Jacket – Suede

Episode 1 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. I try the October 2013 released imperial porter, Suede, from Stone and friends. Still ironing out the show flow and this is a little chopped up, but it’s all about the quick. I’ll try to be more succinct and informative in the future.

Starr Hill – Little Red Roostar (Coffee Creme Stout) Review

photo 2All You Need to Know

Brewery: Starr Hill Brewery
Style: Milk Stout
ABV: 5.8%
Cost: $8.78 (22 oz)
Glassware: Pint, Snifter
Temp: 50°F-55°F
Availability: Limited Release
Purchased @: Shenandoah Hops

Quick Take: Very solid coffee beer that is let down by the thin mouth feel. If you are looking for a near sessionable stout that has some of the best coffee flavor I have had in a beer for a very reasonable price, this is it. It should be noted that I am a coffee lay person with little to no coffee swigging experience.
