| Guinness Goes Upscale Guinness has released what they’re pitching as an “ultra-premium beer” brewed with both beer and whisky malt, made to be served in stemless champagne flutes. Launched to coincide with the holiday season and the wild popularity of craft beer in the US, Guinness The 1759 is the first in a Guinness Signature Series that will see a range of limited edition “luxury” beers. Only 90,000 bottles will be produced of The 1759, made with the same Guinness yeast that’s been used for more than 125 years. Brewed with traditional beer malt and the same peated malt whisky used in Scotch and Irish whiskies, the result is an amber ale that delivers a butterscotch aroma with subtle hop notes, mellow caramel flavors and fruity sweetness. The 25oz (740ml) bottle of beer serves four and has a suggested retail price of US$35 (RM115). It’s also recommended to serve the ale in stemless champagne flutes to maximise the flavour. Stout Only Glass Glassware maker Spiegelau had collaborated with Left Hand and Rogue breweries, both known for making excellent stouts to lanuch the first ever stout-specified beerglass. The glass supposedly enhances the flavor and smell of stouts though they don't provide evidence of the claim or details on the glass construction. |
| You don't say..... Most people have at least one bottle of beer around their fridge for months. This unintentional "cellaring" is okay for heavy stouts, Trappist beers, and barleywines. But not for a hop monsters since the beer's aromatic qualities die off quickly with age. For hop centric beer drink it fresh! --------------------------------. Skunking starts within minutes of a beer being exposed to light, yes, even fluorescent lights in your fridge can damage brews!For outdoor drinking, consider using an opaque cup. ------------------------ Maybe that vision you saw after a few beers at your local pub really was a ghost. Here's al list to worry about: America's Most Haunted Bars -------------------- And while we're on the subject bars, here's a list of The Ooldest Bars in the USA ----------------- A new device allows you to brew in your car! Sorry, it's not beer, it's coffee. However BeerNexus contributor Brian Lynch has a few issues with the invention:"If you java minute, I'd like to just espresso my views on making coffee in your car. I think it could cause a latte problems. There would probably also be grounds for a traffic citation." ------------------- According to the Washington Post the NFL's Washington Redskins are still selling expired Budweisers at FedEx Field. This isn't the first time the Redskins hawked old concessions; the team once sold peanuts from an out-of-business airline. |
