It’s not everyday when there is so little published about a Beer. The Chatue Rogue First Growth Wet Hop Ale is just that. Nothing on the Rogue website about the beer, a couple blog posting, and some reviews on Beer Advocate. But who am I to listen to others anyway…
Our first Simply Beer Club on November 7th was a huge success. We tasted through a half dozen+ stouts and had a blast discussing the beer in a fun and very educational forum.
This week we took another trip up to Boonton NJ and met up with Kevin and Mike Malavarca from the Liquor Outlet and Wine Cellar. This is Kevin’s second appearance on our Beer Brawl and this time he selected the theme of our show, Obscure Lagers. Kevin describes this as, lagers which are new to market, difficult to find, limited production, or just plain obscure. Regardless of the who, what, where, or why, we are always down to drink some beer and hopefully open up more reads/listeners to different styles of beer!
This weeks Beer Brawl features one of my favorite styles of beer, American Porter. A bit bigger, hoppier, and/or roastier then their European predecessors. These dry beers are usually Medium to full bodied, moderately malty, and usually feature a lightly burnt taste with chocolate or coffee flavors.
