St. Patty's (013 & 014)

Since it was St. Patrick's Day, I couldn't go domestic, could I?

Heck, NO!

I got a Murphy's Irish Red and a Sheboygan Brat (okay, the brat was German, but they didn't have any cabbage & corned beef). I also grabbed a Horn Dog Barley Wine, which was fantastic(like I said last time, the barley wine's aren't bad at all).

Murphy's Irish Red
Container: Draught
Style: Irish Red Ale
Brewer: Ladys Well Brewery
City: Cork
Country: Ireland
Description: This amber lager is mildly fragrant with a touch of malt and slight hops. It is smooth and rounded with a lingering malt finish.


Horn Dog Barley Wine
Container: Draught
Style: Barley Wine
Brewer: Flying Dog Brewery
City: Denver,CO
Country: United States
Description: This Barley Wine is made by the fine folks in Denver Co. It has a floral hop aroma with a noticeable alcohol flavor. Very full in body with a dry lingering finish. 10.2 abv.

Making progress and having fun :)

Doug,
Two blogs!! You are the man. Good luck with your beer quest. If I still partook of the barley and hops I'd be down there with you throwing a few back. Remember the days of Cogan's and the Yuenglings Black and Tan. But know I am with you in spirit.

The crazy thing about the Horn Dog is that its over 10 ABV! That's more than two of most beers.
