Oregon: St. Rogue Red Ale, Rogue, Newport

Disarmingly complex. • Red-garnet with orange tinge ale under a creamy off-white foam and rim head. The aroma is sweetly malty with some fruit-juicey notes. A combination of soft water and low carbonation makes this particularly moreish. In the mouth, rish sweet bisubuity malty with juicy cherry …

More than a few years ago I was in a pub and saw on the chalkboard "Special: liver and onions 12.99". When the waiter arrived I asked what was so special? • I have only disliked one beer so much I was quite confused and frustrated and that was a jalopena beer made long ago - but thankfully no …

Oregon: Chocolate Stout, Rogue, Newport

I mentioned in a post below how I am amazed how the LCBO - Liquor Control Board of Ontario - cannot stock shelves better than a decent corner store in the USA. With the monopoly of 12 million people behind it, the LCBO is the greatest buyer of beer, wine and spirits in the world. The biggest used …
