I was surprised to receive an extra special goodie in the form of Atlanta Brewing Co.'s Red Brick Winter Brew: Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter. How about some more Christmas in July!!

Atlanta Brewing Co. Red Brick Winter Brew - Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter - 12 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium beer glass. 7.5% abv.

Appearance: Root beer brown with white foamy suds.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/review-atlanta-brewing-red-brick-winter-brew/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/review-anchor-our-special-ale-2007 http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/review-anchor-our-special-ale-2007#comments Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:17:17 +0000 admin http://thefullpint.com/?p=983 While I do not have many Christmas beers in my reserve, I thought it would be nice to review Anchor Our Special Ale 2007 aka Anchor Christmas in July. This beer has been made each year by Anchor, since 1975. While this beer isn't particularly high in alcohol, it has been widely reported that this brew can be aged for many years, and will go on quite the flavor journey in the process.

Anchor Our Special Ale 2007 / Anchor Christmas 2007 - 6 months later - 12 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium glass.

Appearance: Midnight cranberry red with a tight, frothy head.

Aroma: Cranberries, raspberries, cloves, and fresh cut female holly.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/review-anchor-our-special-ale-2007/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/boulder-beer-co-anniversary-party-benefits-community-food-share http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/boulder-beer-co-anniversary-party-benefits-community-food-share#comments Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:42:20 +0000 Jon http://thefullpint.com/?p=1019 Boulder, CO – To celebrate their heritage and help to raise money for Community Food Share of Boulder County, Boulder Beer Company invites one and all to the GOATSHED REVIVAL on Saturday, August 23rd, from 12 – 7pm. The Goatshed Revival will take place at Boulder Beer Company, 2880 Wilderness Place, Boulder, Colorado.

In 1979, two homebrewing CU professors were granted the 43rd brewing license in U.S. history and a brewing revolution began in Colorado. They set up the original brewhouse in a goatshed north of Boulder, so to commemorate their heritage in the goatshed and to celebrate how far the brewery has come, Boulder Beer wants to toast its 29th year of craft brewing with style. And what better way to do so than to spread the love and help out local people in need!]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/24/boulder-beer-co-anniversary-party-benefits-community-food-share/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-weyerbacher-hops-infusion http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-weyerbacher-hops-infusion#comments Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:11:14 +0000 Evan http://thefullpint.com/?p=273 Weyerbacher Hops Infusion
6.2% abv

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled pint glass.

Appearance
Nice and clean reddish yellow color with excellent transparency. Over an inch of head that left a nice spider web lace around the top of the glass.

Aroma
Extreme is the best word. My nose engulfed the cornucopia of hops present. It was not too much though and smelled very piney and fruity.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-weyerbacher-hops-infusion/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-barley-creek-angler-black-lager http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-barley-creek-angler-black-lager#comments Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:47:07 +0000 Evan http://thefullpint.com/?p=287 Barley Creek Angler Black Lager
5.0% abv

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled pint glass.

Appearance
Medium roast coffee color with the slightest shades of burgundy and red. Pretty good clarity with lots of head at over an inch and a half sitting atop the pint glass.

Aroma
Not much aroma but what I could smell was rather nasty. Small hints of sulfur and wet dog smell consumed my nostrils.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/review-barley-creek-angler-black-lager/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/odell-brewing-releases-woodcut-no-1 http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/odell-brewing-releases-woodcut-no-1#comments Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:00:30 +0000 Jon http://thefullpint.com/?p=997 From Barrel to Bottle
Odell Brewing Releases Woodcut No. 1 Oak Aged Ale

On August 18th, 2008 Odell Brewing Company of Fort Collins, Colorado will release its Woodcut No. 1, the first in its Woodcut series of barrel-aged beers.

In the fall of 2007, Odell Brewing received its first shipment of oak barrels from Canton Cooperage in Kentucky. The barrels, cut from new American oak, were specifically crafted with a medium toast to give the beer added flavor and depth.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/23/odell-brewing-releases-woodcut-no-1/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/review-black-dog-english-style-amber-ale http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/review-black-dog-english-style-amber-ale#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:56:45 +0000 Evan http://thefullpint.com/?p=412 Black Dog English Style Amber Ale
5.2% abv

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a chilled pint glass.

Appearance
Red-brown amber color with a light tan foamy head. This beer is quite thick looking, almost like a milk shake.

Aroma
Yeast and citrus fruits. Some hints of orange and lemon are nicely balanced with the sweet bread-like qualities from the malt and yeast.]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/review-black-dog-english-style-amber-ale/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/stone-12th-anniversary-celebration http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/stone-12th-anniversary-celebration#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:27:05 +0000 Jon http://thefullpint.com/?p=986 $35 Charitable Donation

This beer was a Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winner in the American Sour Ale category in 2007, the inaugural year of the category.

Cuvee de Castleton is a Golden Ale that has been aged in French and American oak barrels with both Brettanomyces (wild yeast) and Muscat Grapes, for over a year.

It is a sour and tart beer with an intensely fruity aroma of both grapes and citrus….not for those of you who don’t like sour beer!]]> http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/22/cuvee-de-castleton-release-date/feed http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/21/review-leinenkugels-summer-shandy http://thefullpint.com/2008/07/21/review-leinenkugels-summer-shandy#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:01:54 +0000 Evan http://thefullpint.com/?p=718 Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy
