The Beer Enthusiasts of Blacksburg

Style: Imperial Stout Purchased at: St. George Brewery by DJ & Liz What makes this beer different: It's drinkability Will I be drinking this again: Definitely Grade: A- Comments: This was probably one of the top five beers I had over the summer. It is thick & rich enough to be a stout, but at the same time it is extremely drinkable. Just ask Liz: she normally hates stouts, but she ended up liking this brew. It would not be her top choice however. Medium carbonation levels, with a large pillowy head. Ever so slight detection of molasses, chocolate, cinnamon, and cloves complete this beautiful brown bomber. Bottom line: Try this Virginia breweries RIS before you knock it, I think you will enjoy it :) Recommendations: Pair this with a warm, homemade pretzel with spicy mustard for dipping ... BAM!

Style: Fruit Beer Purchased at: Vintage Cellar by DJ & Liz What makes this beer different: The Rare Blueberry & Wheat Will I be drinking this again: Definitely Grade: B+ Comments: This brew combines a wheat and a classic favorite of mine; blueberries! It smells sweeter than it tastes, and has a faint blueberry taste. So for those of you who do not prefer blueberries, I can safely say you can tolerate and enjoy this blueberry wheat beer. As with most wheat brews, this one has a fairly large head with a low amount of lacing and a surprisingly large amount of carbonation. Also, it has an average ABV of 5.50% so not a lot more than your light beers. Thumbs up to this brew; it isn't perfect (less carbonation, more hops, more blueberries, and a little malt ;) ) but shows a lot of promise in this Colorado Brewery! Enjoy! Recommendations: I'm going to recommend what I had it with, because it was phenomenal! Pair this brew with chocolate fondue; 3/4 Milk chocolate, 1
