Times Health: The History of Beer

Times Health: The History of Beer: Today beer is a hugely popular beverage that many of us consider absolutely crucial to our way of life. It is what most men drink on nights...

30 Brews in 30 Days

I just had an epic idea. As I sit here at Rock Bottom Brewery near my home amongst a plethora of micro's (brews that is), I thought of a great way to get a documented recollection of some good beers along the way.... 30 Brews in 30 Days.  A Tasting Tribute to ME.

Rules: Must be a N American Brew.  USA and Oh, CANADA!   Locale need not be important.  I will be in a few states and 2 countries this month, so I should get a great sample size.


Here's the Rating breakdown and scales:

Malt Roast Darkness: 1-5 
     *1 being the lightest roast and 5 being the darkest.  (1 think Michelob Ultra, very transparent; 5 think Guinness)

Hoppiness: 1-5
     * 1 for low Hops, 5 for Uber Hoppiness.  (This will be my opinion, since I will not take into account the IBU scale, since many beers do not post this value on the label)


Flavor Profile
     *My general description of the flavor and tastes of the beer.  Does it remind me of an oak barrel filled with Band-Aids (a Scottish Ale I once tried) or have hints of ginger, nutmeg, etc.

Overall Rating: 1-10
     *I'll base my personal preference on a 1-10 scale.

I'll post the Ratings under the "Comments" Section (Below) for the month of February.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Here we go - Prost!
