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.
