I give Bosque Porter a B. I'm doing a beer tasting test.
I'm trying out one new beer every night. This stuff comes out
of Waco, Texas. You'd never expect. Kind of sweet.

The type of beer depends on the food. And the time of day. Some of the dark beers almost feel/taste like dessert to me. SOme of my friends haul me out to local breweries (get a life, they say) and pour the good stuff in to me. I can handle about 1/2 a glass. Lots of the micropubs are starting to have good food, which is a saving grace for me.

Last night I had a Red Hook. Decent beer. I'm still reeling over how much I
enjoyed the Guiness this time. Refrigeration makes a HUGE difference. In Estes Park they have the Estes Park brewery -- good microbrews that have recently started in a broader market. The Wynkoop in downtown Denver also makes a couple
really good micros -- Railyard Ale is one of my faves. But every month they tap a specialty brew. Last year they tapped one in honor of Kurt Vonnegut.

Discovered on the most happening beer joints in Austin, it's called Fado. It's
and Irish pub and they have great Guiness Stout on tap. I went there Friday for
dinner and had fish and chips (very good) with some Stout. I met some folks for
the first time and we had a blast. One of the guys was a former ranked tennis
pro who needed a website (guess who might be building it?) and there were
some women from SWT who were partyin' like it was 1999.
Fado is sandwiched in between the Cedar Street jazz joint and a coffeehouse on
Fourth Street.

Lot of brewpub suds! It was a gorgeous day in Austin and most folks seemed to be in a great mood with their mugs in hand and some pretty decent bands playing.
No soundtrack yet, but we're working on a real audio solution to bring you the sounds of these events that we've been videotaping.
I had a very peaceful morning, took a long walk, had a great lunch, and capped it off with fish 'n chips, a beer (of course), and a brandy soaked mini-cigar.
One of my periodic vice ridden forays into debauchery.
Luckenbach beer, Shiner, Celis, the Texas Brewers Fest had 'em all. You
can see Mezzaluna in the background. and some of the Austin skyline.

I visited a man once who built his whole house out of different colored
glass bottles. And the house was mostly underground, excpet the ceiling
which was like a stained glass window. He polished all the bottoms of
the bottles which made up his walls. It only took a few tiny sticks to
heat the place in his miniscule fireplace. On the surface was a
greenhouse. This was on a trip to a hot springs in Mendocino county.

Redhook Ale went an extra mile recently. The craft brewery received
kosher certification from the Orthodox Union (OU), which oversees
thousands of products for certification around the world.
Why did Redhook with its nine branded beers seek it? Kosher certification
signals to consumers that a product adheres to guidelines of quality,
purity and use of natural products, says Nelson Jay, marketing manager
of Redhook Brewery. Many non-Jewish consumers know kosher products
contain fewer preservatives and additives and adhere to stringent
manufacturing standards.

It's True, Beer Is Good For You!
Hops Used For Beer Is An Anti-Bacterial Agent
Learn More About On Your Side
CLEVELAND, Posted 1:56 p.m. September
28, 1999 -- It could be the best words a beer
drinker has heard since 'open bar.'
Is beer good for you?
NewsChannel5 reports one scientist says the
hops that make up beer are.
A Miller Brewing Company scientist has patented the use of acid
hops as an anti-bacterial agent.
Miller is even negotiating with a number of companies to use the
hops as a germ killer.
The researcher says it could be used in everything from toothpaste
and mouthwash to preservatives in hot dogs. But there's no word if
gargling with beer has the same effect.

Good health! Brewers toast study on beer
http://www.themercury.com.au/nie/mathguys/articles/1996/960612a1.htm
PEOPLE who drink beer in moderation live longer and are less likely to have heart
problems, according to a review of research on the links between alcohol and health.
There is a widespread view that moderate consumption of wine, not of beer, is good for the heart. But the authors of
the review say they found strong evidence that consumption of any alcoholic beverage was linked to a lower
risk of heart disease.
The Australian Brewers' Foundation medical research advisory committee has reviewed about 30 published
research papers from around the world on the link between alcohol and heart disease.
"Beer can be regarded as the drink of moderation be cause it has half the alcohol content of wine," the chairman
of the Brewers' Foundation medical research advisory committee, Professor Ross Kalucy, said.
"There is now an overwhelming consensus of medical opinion that moderate alcohol intake is protective
against heart disease in both men and women."
Consumption of no more than four glasses of beer a day for men, and two for women, is considered moderate.
Professor Kalucy, professor of psychiatry at Flinders University, said it had been shown that moderate drinkers
lived longer than people who did not drink at all.
Alcohol is known to boost a substance in the blood, known as higher density lipoprotein which protects blood vessels
against clotting and the buildup of plaque on artery walls due to cholesterol.
It was for this reason moderate consumption of alcohol was good for cardiac health, he said.
Brewers' Foundation chairman Professor Kwong Lee Dow said in a statement that this did not mean, however
that abstainers should be encouraged to take up drinking.
"Health authorities and educators need to acknowledge the role of alcohol in our society and develop policies
that minimise the potential physical, social and emotional harms that result from its use," he said.

Cheery, Beer-y Kidneys
Those who have suffered the excruciating pain of kidney stones usually ask themselves what they could have done differently. Pirjo Pietinen and her colleagues in Finland now think they have an answer: Drink beer.
As part of an ongoing lung-cancer prevention study, Pietinen’s group collected detailed dietary information from their 27,000 male volunteers. All were smokers between the ages of 50 and 69. Within about 6 years of entering the study, 329 of the participants developed kidney stones.
Ordinarily, physicians advise people at high risk of recurring stones to drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Diluting the urine seems to slow the buildup of the stony calcium deposits that cause pain. However, all liquids are not equally beneficial. Studies have indicated that while coffee, tea, and alcohol
tend to reduce an individual’s risk of forming kidney stones, grapefruit and apple juices both foster stone
production. At least one study also indicated that soft-drink consumption might cultivate stones.
In these Finnish men, however, the researchers found no clear protection associated with water
consumption. Then again, Pietinen notes, "our measure of total water was not as good as it should be,
because the questionnaire we used didn’t ask about water drunk as such." Rather, they calculated
water intake based upon its usual contribution to other foods—such as soup or tea.
Though asking questions directly about water consumption might seem an essential first step in any
study of kidney stones, Pietinen points out that this was actually a re-crunching of numbers collected
as part of a lung-cancer study. This also explains why her group restricted participation to individuals
who smoked.
Unlike other studies, the Finnish scientists found no statistically significant link between alcohol
consumption and kidney-stone risk. "What’s interesting in our data," Pietinen told Science News
Online, "was that beer seemed to have a specific effect all its own."

Beer need either events or the right food to entice angels for me.I have not heard of Brand Beer but I shall look for someone who stocks it. Newcastle Brown Ale I have actually seen. Beatiful to see, it must be sensational to drink.
*salivating* and suddenly very thirsty! Aloha to the beer ddrinkers of the world. It is an art the Hawaiians did not create but they surely enjoy the product that others create. There are several micro breweries on the Big Island and one in Hilo. I have found no one who has actually tasted it. I may have to be the one to do it!

Review Date: 04-09-1999
Beer Id: 131 Avg User Rating: [ 4.55 / 5 ]

Beer Style: German-Style Doppelbock
Availability: year round
Presentation: 11.2 brown bottle with a foiled top and a plastic goat on the neck.
Appearance: Dark and intense looking, a big frothy tan head lays on top.
Smell: Big whiffs of toffee and caramel, slight spicy alcohol and light toasted malt
also.
Taste: Huge chewy malt of caramel and toast with a sharp twang of an even hop
bitterness and spicy alcohol. Some dried fruit comes through as well as some hop
leaf flavour. Does not dry too much in the end ... lots of residual sugars,
lingering caramel and fading grain in the end.
Notes: This is the mother of all Doppelbocks ... perfection in a bottle.
Alcohol by Volume: 6.7 %

Storm King Stout

Beer Style: Stout, Imperial
Availability: limited edition
Presentation: 12 oz brown longneck bottle, no freshness date but this beer's strength alone gives it a very long shelf life.
Appearance: Pitch black liquid with a slow motion cascading effect after a hard pouring, the hard pouring yielded a dense and rocky light tan head that faded away as fast as a glacier moves.
Smell: Fresh hop leaf similar to tobacco cigar leaves with a bitter hop oil within, black currants and fresh ground espresso in the aroma also. A very mild rummy alcohol smell is noticeable, smells of chocolate cover rum soaked cherries.
Taste: Thick and creamy with a full and flexed body, smooth with minimal carbonation from the hard pouring ... even with a normal pouring there probably would be, at most, a moderate carbonation level. Roasted bitterness flavour draws long as well as the demanding hop character. Heavy hand of sweetness from front to middle with sweetened espresso and a black berry fruitiness. Hops kick in hard and flail around flavours of citrus, earth and leaf ... as soon as it peaks the roasted gives a one two punch of charcoal and dark chocolate. Roasted flavours intensify in the finish with a hitchhiking hop bitterness that just won't let go. After taste is endless.
Notes: This one goes down as one of the greatest, not just one of the greatest Imperial Stouts but as one of the greatest beers in the world. As close to perfection as you can get.
Alcohol by Volume: 9.1 %

I have since had a about half a dozen of the Doppelbock which is available by the bottle at Whole Foods and find it to be of excellent quality. I save it for special occasions like the recent Oklahoma Colorado Big Twelve Championship game which the Sooners, unfortunately, won.

Frans, where did you get drinks of Hawaiian origin? Are you a world traveller or do you have an inventive bartender? I hope it is the former and you can duplicate it where you are now. I just MUST find a source of that beer. Perhaps our old friend who loves Amstel Beer best will tell me if it is available here.
