laugh.gif  been a long time i had the BOSTON ALE. i remember that being better than the lager. and who the f came up with the idea of lagers? 062802puke_prv.gif

what's the difference? i'd like to know. ok i'll go find out.

It's the type of yeast that's used, and the length of the fermentation process. Lagers use top-fermenting yeast and take longer to mature. This produces less by-products in the finished beer. Ales use bottom-fermenting yeast and mature in a short amount of time. There are by-products in ales that affect the flavor, but ale lovers find these flavors desirable.

Today was a "work from home" day, so that means the drinking started at around 1:30pm... Margaritas all afternoon.. Then it was off to BevMo for a tasty beer selection.. I bought a six pack of Red Hook IPA, one bottle of Arogant Bastard, and one bottle of Dead Guy Ale.... I drank the AB (mighty fine) and two of the IPA's, I'm saving the Dead Guy as I've never tried it before.. Probably tomorrow night I'll try it.

WOW!!! The Dead Guy is fabulous!!! What a nice clean, smooth taste.. Now I understand why this is $4.29 for a 22oz bottle... Lovely color and texture.. And still packs a punch!

*takes notes*

 

I've seen the Dead Guy Ale around in local stores, but never tried it.

 

I will obviously have to give it a try, considering the good reviews of it i have seen in this forum.

Bar Harbor "Coal Porter" (that's one hell of a cool name). As for the taste, it's got the typical porter thing going on...dark and rich tasting like a stout, but with an ale-like consistency. This particular one is very smoky tasting, with a hint of espresso. It's actually tasting better as it's warming up (typical for a good porter or stout).
