Beer #23 - McSorley's Irish Pale Ale

Style: Irish Ale
Purchased at: Vintage Cellar
What makes this beer different: Spicy, Earthy flavor!
Will I be drinking this again: Yes.
Grade: B+

Recommendations:
Just like its big brother, the black lager, this pale ale is a winner! Smooth & crisp tones accent this hoppy ale. McSorley's Pale Ale is a mix between an English Ale and an Irish Red Ale. Word to the wise: You will find this brew quite drinkable, so don't lose track of how many you put back!


Recommendations:
Try pairing with a nice cut of prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes :) YUM

Beer #42 - Sapporo Premium Beer

Style: Japanese Rice Lager Purchased at: Sakura Japanese Steakhouse & World Market What makes this beer different: Japanese Will I be drinking this again: Yup Grade: C+ Comments: This brew is a carbonated, frothy, medium bodied lager with a dry finish and possesses hints of bitter hops  Beer pours egg yolk yellow with a creamy white head; sweet malts and soft grains lie in the undertones of this subtle smelling lager. Unfortunately nothing really sets this beer apart from the crowd, other than it being a Japanese Lager. Don't get me wrong, it is very good and quite drinkable! It just isn't a game changer for me, which is why my score isn't higher. Go out and give this one a try, it is definitely worth it ... ESPECIALLY for my light beer lovers out there! Recommendations: Pair with Shrimp Tempura and Edamame Soy Beans is perfect!

Beer #39 - The River Company Resturant and Brewery Fairlawn’s Finest Cream Lager

Style: Cream Lager Purchased at: BrewDo Fest What makes this beer different: Honey Will I be drinking this again: Definitely Grade: A Comments: This was one of the many brews I chose to sample at the BrewDo Fest this past weekend in Blacksburg, VA at First & Main. This beer was hands down my favorite overall. It had excellent complexion, lacing, smell, head, and taste. My two favorite things about this beer is the amarillo hops and the wonderful blend/tone of honey. This restaurant/brewery is conveniently located down the road in Radford, VA. I plan to make a trip down soon to pair a dish with this beer; will update once I do so! Recommendations: Liz got us some of the tempura battered onion rings, made with red onions and spicy batter ... they were AMAZING and I would pair this brew with them anytime!
