Hillas by Macedonian Trace Brewery
This is very mellow beer, but I like it. It is not going to make you run for another, but it is nice.
And, it is from Greece so that is cool.
Westmalle Trappist Ale
Hmm. This beer has a big rich malty flavor. The smooth mouth feel is nice.
And, it is hitting the spot especially given the yucky start of the week.
The Firehouse Brewing Co. Hefeweizen
This is Firehouse Brewing Co.’s hefeweizen. It is a very mild flavored beer with a lot of carbonation. The aromas are weak as well, which would normally be stronger.
I could have over chilled the beer.
Celebrator Dopplebock
Hmmmm! This is one of my favorite dopplebocks. And hey, you get a cute goat to take home that you can see on the left side of the bottle.
The maltiness is just perfect. The smell is rich with coffee and malt tones.
It has a very nice month feel. I could drink this beer every day, but I would have quit my day job.
First Legal High Gravity Beer in Alabama
I had Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast Brewing Co.
It is a rich full body beer with heavy chocolate and smoky malt flavors.
Rye Squared Imprial Pale Ale by Terrapin
Mmmmm! Mmmmm!
A great beer. My dad received this from the Terrapin brewery representative. He decided to get it out. He is thinking that it is time to start clearing out his beer cooler at the house to make way for all the beers that will becoming soon into the state.
The beer is double the ingredients of regular Terrapin’s Rye Pale Ale. It has nice balanced flavor, but Karen thinks the rye is too much.
Celebration Beer
We are celebrating the Alabama beer law changing to allow beer with up to 13.9% ABV. Jim Trolinger brought a great beer (Noël Baladin) to drink tonight at The Nook.
Beverly is holding the beer and announcing the great thing that Jim had done. Jim was very nice to offer this beer to everyone to try. It is representative of the kind of beer this law will allow. Almost everyone in The Nook got a sample of the beer. You could tell that Jim was proud.
Thanks Jim!
HB373 Signed by Governor Riley
My dad was interviewed tonight at The Nook about Free The Hops’ bill being signed. Everyone had a great time having WHNT 19 in the house. I know my dad has enjoyed the attention.
The story was the lead in story during the 10 o’clock news and on the morning newscast, too. The story tried to present multiple viewpoints, but some of the other viewpoint were not educated on the issues.
If you saw the story, I was the guy in the Hawaiian shirt walking throughout the video.
Winter Hook Winter Ale
What a great beer!
But, it is on it’s way out the door, because it was not selling well
at The Nook.
The Nook is clearing out slow moving beers. You get a free glass with your beer. My dad doesn’t care about glassware so I generally get extra glasses without having to drink the beers.
