This beer has a very mellow pumpkin flavor, which will not overwhelm anyone. I have enjoyed it.
Samuel Adams Irish Red
I like this beer. It starts malty and has a nice hops finish.
Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest
Karen picked up some beer today at the local Kogers. I am trying the Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest for the first time.
I am really enjoying it. It starts with a little sweetness and finishes with a mild bitterness. I think the aroma is very pleasing, too. There are nutty over tone in the taste.
Golden Revolution – Handcrafted Imperial Pilsner
Here it is Labor Day weekend in the United States and my wife and I stopped by my parents with our baby girl, Katie Beth, to make dinner for them. My dad brought out the latest beer from the beer of the month series that I got him for father’s day.
It is a Imperial Pislner from Pivovar Herold brewer. It was a great imperial pilsner. The beer had a sweet start and a rich carmel color.

Judge Baldwin’s Brewing
Karen and I are kicking back after a long day at work for me and long of herding cats for her. (I should say cat as in Katie Beth our 1 year old baby.) We are hanging out in Colorado Springs and we are enjoying our time tonight with a couple beers from Judge Baldwin's Brewing.
The Beer Advocate rating for Judge Baldwin's Brewing is way too low. I understand why some people would give a low rating. The beers are of good quality. The prices are super, because they have a daily happy hour with $2 pints and during the week days happy hours starts up again at 9:00PM for $2 pints.
Appetizers are half price during the early happy hour.
Parking is a breeze with valet parking. The staff knows me by name and I am coming in from out of town just on business travel.
My wife is enjoyed the Raspberry Wheat while I am having the Dunkel. Our beers may have been improved by us taking them back to our top floor room with balcony and view of the city and mountains.

Beer's After Work Rock Bottom Brewery
My wife, Katie Beth, and I joined my co-workers for a beer at Rock Bottom Brewery.
The beers were pretty good. But, Katie Beth was not happy.
Leirekin: Buckwheat Bruin Ale
For Father’s Day, I got my dad the “Rare Beer of Month” to share each month. Buckwheat Bruin Ale by Leireken was the first. We all enjoyed it and I am looking forward to next month.
Rogue Promotional Items and More
The Rogue Brewery representative stopped in my dad's bar this week. The representative had promotional items include stickers, t-shirts, information cards, and more. But, I had to get one of these items. I will let you figure out what it is.
It works, because I drank some Rogue beers.
