Episode 010 – Elephants, Blackberries, and Paul Revere!
So this is it true believers, our milestone tenth episode!
In this elixir filled episode we look at the Anchor Brewing Company’s Liberty Ale, commemorating the historic ride of Paul Revere. Such a well balanced brew with candied hops and a real satisfying taste. We also tackle Carlsberg’s Elephant Ale, a fantastic tasting malt brew from one of the leaders in fine beers worldwide. Our final beer of the day is Leinenkugels Berry Weiss, a surprisingly tasty beer that should have been stocked in the wine cooler aisle.
