Ninkasi Renewale 2013 Extra Special Bitter

Well - it's gonna hit 90 degrees out here today - what happened to Spring?  Dang global warming is ruining everything....time for a brew on a hot summer day.  Grabbed a six pack of the Ninkasi Renewale ESB on my trip up to the Pacific Northwest a few weeks ago and I've cracked open the last of the lot this afternoon.  The beer pours a nice copper color with a small head.  Grassy hops - kinda smells like a nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  Nice balance on this one, as is usual with the style.  The brewery is located in Eugene, Oregon and is named for Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of Brewing.  I've noticed that some of the Brewery's offerings are making it down to us here in Northern California - I need to try some more....

Cheers,

2011 A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir

Spring is here!  A glorious day out here on the left coast - perfect for a nice light red.

The A to Z Pinot Noir is one of the wines I picked up on my trip up to the Pacific Northwest and it is a wonderful expression of the spin that the higher latitudes take on the Pinot Noir grape.  Cheeries of course, but I'm getting a nice tobacco note in the aroma and some great astringent tannins on the finish.  Highly recommended but a bit pricey - running around $20.

Cheers,
Jerry

Oakshire Brewing Overcast Espresso Stout

Time for a nice hearty brew - it is just a bit overcast this afternoon out here on the Left Coast, but when I picked this craft brew up on a trip to the Pacific Northwest we had many days of overcast skies, a few rainstorms and a couple of bright sunny days too.  Will never forget going up to the top of the Space Needle on one of those sunny days - no wind and the temps in the upper sixties - just wonderful.

Quoting from the label "Rich, Roasty, Enlightening.  And that's just the cold brewed espresso we used to create this delicious Oatmeal Stout.  So, grab a friend, Breakfast or Dinner, crack a bottle and enjoy."
I have to say that the espresso is the defining flavor in this stout, with some chocolate and malt flavors mixed in as well.  This is one heck of a smooth operator and very drinkable.  Low alcohol and IBU (5.8% and 37 respectively) help, but there are no off notes in this stout.  It is very hard to find an Oatmeal Stout that doesn't have some sort of sharp note, whether it be the alcohol, the roast of the malt or the hops.  The brewmaster at Oakshire has hit all the right notes on this one!  Yum Yum Yum.

The Oakshire site - Grey Skies are a regular part of life in Western Oregon

Beer Advocate - 87 (really? - I'm sensing an East Coast bias in the grading here.....)

Rate Beer - 97 (now, that's more like it - hey it rates pretty high on Untapped too....)

Cheers!
Jerry
