The Love

Now, you could probably take a guest in the direction that this blog is taking; these beers are found nowhere in Western PA, which is true for the Love. The Love is a wheat beer by Starr Hill Brewery out of Charlottesville, Va. The Love is a wheat beer very reminiscent to Blue Moon or Shock Top with the orange color of the beer and a slight head except it has a little taste of banana that mixes nicely with the traditional citrus taste. It does have a slightly bitter after taste, but it is a nice beer to drink while outside at a concert or festival. I had my first taste at the Virgin Mobile Free Fest in Columbia, Maryland and enjoyed several throughout the concert. Looks like I'll be making several trips across the state-line to get some good beer.

Spotted Cow

Possibly one of my favorite beers that I have had the pleasure to enjoy is the Spotted Cow Ale from New Glarus Brewery in Wisconsin. It is a cream style ale that also has a pleasant fruity aroma and taste to it. It is a nice light Amber color with a nice foamy head, but not too much. Towards the end of the beer, there is some bitterness but it is not as pronounce compared to other ales. I had my first taste of Spotted Cow at the Wisconsin State Fair and consider it to be one of my favorite beers to date. Unfortunately, I only have a few bottles remaining until my next trip to Wisconsin :(

Introduction

Greetings,
Welcome to my blog, the Tour of Beers (and the occasional brewpub), where each post will focus on a different craft beer or a micro brew that typically is not available at every bar, restaurant, or beer distributor. There will be a beer of the week feature and a beer of the month that will be the favorite of the beer of the week. I will also visit several brewpubs during the course of the next two months to get an idea on the type of beer they serve, the environment of the venue, and of course the food. I encourage you to follow along as I bring to light several beers that many may never enjoy and I welcome feed back on the beer that I sample and would like recommendations on new beers to try.

Ganbei,

Tiny Uncle Buck
