North Coast & Blue Moon (017 & 018)

Beers 17 & 18 came a week or so ago, but never got around to logging them in.

The first was from the North Coast Brewing Company called Red Seal. It was recommended by the bartender who said it was his favorite. By the way, Boston Mike (the bartender I referenced) has been at The Flying Saucer for years. I just recently found out that this was his last week as he's moving to Rhode Island... not that you cared, but if you knew this guy, you would shed a tear. BUT, I digress, the Red Seal was as good as advertised.

The second was a Blue Moon Full Moon Winter Ale (by Coors). This was a good one, too. Too bad it won't be around again till November.

Here's the stats:

North Coast Red Seal
Container: Draught
Style: Pale Ale
Brewer: North Coast Brewing Co.
City: Fort Bragg, Ca
Country: United States

ABV: 5.5%
Description: American style pale ale from Mark Ruderich's gang at North Coast. This fine beer is bronze-red in color with the tremendous hop taste and floral undertones of cascade hops. A beer to satisfy the hop head, but mellow enough to be a good session ale too. One of the Captain's favorite draught!




Blue Moon Full Moon Winter Ale
Container: Bottle
Style: Abbey Dubbel
City: Golden, Co
Country: United States
ABV: 5.6%
Description: This full bodied abbey ale is brewed with roasted malts and a hint of Dark Belgian sugar for a perfectly balanced taste.
