Ninkasi Venn Dortmund Lager

Greetings on this breezy and warm October afternoon.  Being that it is indeed October, it is time for a German style beer and no better brewery to brew this than one of my favorite from the Pacific Northwest.  Ninkasi brews lagers all year long, with their Pravda, Lux and Venn offerings at different intervals.  These are all part of the "Prismatic" series of lagers.

The Venn has a wonderful 2 finger bright white head and a gleamingly clear very light golden color.  The taste is of Saltines, with a wonderful bready goodness that this style really brings forward.  Just a bit of hop bitterness that translates to lemon and grass.  A clean and light finish - yes this one is a keeper.

Deliciously easy to drink ------>  Ninkasi site

This is gonna go great with the Brats and Sauerkraut simmering in the oven.
Cheers,
Jerry

Boeger Hangtown Red #49

Celebrating 5 years of the blog and the show tonight with an old favorite of mine - Boeger's Hangtown Red.
This is from Lot #49 - fitting as this wine is produced in the wild west town of Placerville, CA where many a 49er called home.

This blend is also fitting as it is made from 5 different varietals - Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel - each adding to the wonderful mix that is the Hangtown Red. Swirling the glass around, the first flavor notes that hit the nose are a Cabernet "perfume" and then a bit of dark red fruit tones. On the tongue, more of the fruit - plum and raspberry- and some nice vanilla and leather earthiness.  This one has a wonderfully smooth finish with just a hint of astringency on the tongue, should go quite well with the Hanger Steak I have marinating in the fridge and soon to be grilling.  Also, the wine is quite a bargain at just about $7 down at my local Trader Joes.

Hanger Steak Marinade ---- >  where's the beef

An overcast day out here on the Left Coast with a bit of drizzle - perfect day to stay home with some steak on the grill, chocolate a bit later and a bottle of Red.

Cheers,
Jerry

Evil Twin Brewing Fruedian Slip Barley Wine

I've got some Wine open this afternoon.  No, not the red variety, the brewed variety.  A Barley Wine from the Evil Twin Brewing company.  This one is called Freudian Slip, a perfect accompaniment to the show this week centered on Words.  

This one is a dark amber with some great odors wafting off the one finger head.  Molasses, Caramel and some sweet butterscotch is lingering above the foam.  Sipping the beer reveals a complexity that puts a smile on my face.  Cashews, Chocolate and something I can't put my finger on - maybe some plum?  Deep and rich this one is, with a very subdued hop bite.  The only drawback I can see is the heat of the 10.3% alcohol.  If you can get past that, you will find a very nicely constructed Barley Wine.  This one is for sipping and letting it get up to room temperature - to let the aromas escape.  Allright - I've had a few sips - now back to my Bank Shot.  Hey - I got the Wow's lit for extra balls!

Cheers,

Jerry
