Go Big Red...Stripe

In honor of our house guests (Whit's parents) arrival, we broke out the Red Stripe beer during the Nebraska football game.  Red Stripe is a Jamaican Lager brewed by Desnoes & Geddes Limited in Kingston, Jamaica.


Unfortunately, despite our color coordination, Nebraska got their butts kicked by Wisconsin.  Maybe it's because they are red too and the football gods were confused about who we were cheering for?!?!?

Duuuuuuuuukes

While Scott was at dinner tonight with Katie to celebrate her excellent report card, I cracked a beer for myself (once Natalie was in bed).  My beer of choice: Duke of Wellington Pale Ale from Granite City Brewing Company in Monroe, Wisconsin.  I hauled this one back as part of a random mix and match 6-pack to Arizona after a recent trip to Nebraska.


Rating (on a scale of 1 to 5):
      Whit:  pretty standard Pale Ale.  Better after it warms up a bit.  Rates it a 3 of 5.

Tail Waggin Double White

After a long and stressful day, we decided to document our year in beer...starting tonight. 

So tonight we cracked open a bottle of Tail Waggin' Double White Ale (2010 Cellar Reserve) from Grand Teton Brewing Co.

Rating (scale of 1 to 5):
  The Husband: Drank this on a very empty stomach.  Gives it a 3.5.  It's a little thin.  Not wheaty.
   Me:  Lots of flavor. Doesn't really taste like beer. Gives it a 4.
