Craft Beer of the Month Club!

So the other day I found this awesome website for a "Beer of the Month Club."


It seems pretty cool - you just pay a premium and get beer delivered to your door!  I'm thinking about trying it and then I might be able to extend my "30 Brews in 30 Days" to say, 60 Brews in 60 days?? LOL.


Well, maybe that could get a little rowdy, but I digress.  Here is a blurb from their site:


The Craft Beer Club discovers exceptional craft brews from around the country and delivers them each month direct to you or your recipient.  Every compelling selection is produced by small production, independent brewers who use only traditional brewing ingredients and time-honored brewing methods.


Brooke - I hope you're paying attention :-)
Ein Prosit!

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!
