Miller
Lite
Essentially the first mainstream light beer, Miller Lite has a colorful history. After its first inception as
"Gablinger's Diet Beer," which was created in 1967 by Joseph L.
Owades, a biochemist working for New York's Rheingold Brewery,[1]. The recipe was literally given, by the inventor of the light beer process, to one of Miller's competing breweries, Chicago's Meister
Brau, which came out with the Meister Brau
"Lite" brand in the late 1960s. When Miller acquired Meister Brau's labels the recipe was reformulated and relaunched as
"Lite Beer from Miller" in 1975, and heavily marketed using masculine pro sports players and other macho figures of the day in an effort to sell to the key beer-drinking male demographic. Miller's approach worked where the two previous light beers had failed, and Miller's early production totals of 12.8 million barrels quickly increased to 24.2 million barrels by 1977 as Miller rose to 2nd place in the American brewing marketplace. Other brewers responded, especially Anheuser-Busch with its heavily advertised Bud Light in 1982, which eventually overtook Lite in 1994. In 1992 light beer became the biggest domestic beer in America.
Per 12 ounce serving, Miller Lite contains:

Blue
Moon HoneyMoon
Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale is a light-bodied beer designed for the summer months. It’s brewed with clover honey, orange peel, pale malt and malted white wheat to give it a different flavor than many other brews while keeping with the light-body traditional for the hotter days of summertime.
The aroma is sweet but not overbearing. I detected hints of fresh-cut grass and sweetness; possibly lemony with a touch of honey.
Awesome for Summer !!!!!

Michelob
Ultra Fruit FMB's
Anheuser-Busch's Michelob ULTRA Fruit Infused Beers - a line-up of three new flavors available in a 12-bottle variety
pack. The flavors include Pomegranate Raspberry, Lime Cactus and Tuscan Orange Grapefruit.
Michelob ULTRA offers more for the every day with fruit infused natural flavors in a sophisticated pilsner beer.
The perfect trio for a relaxing picnic or evening out.
Heighten your senses with Pomegranate Raspberry - a berry aroma that finishes with a hint of Pomegranate flavor. Let Lime Cactus fill you with an exotic, fruity aroma and an ethnic flare. Tempt your taste buds with Tuscan Orange Grapefruit – a citrus pilsner infused with oranges and grapefruit.
These unique pilsner blends are available in convenient, 12-bottle variety
packs. With only 105 calories and 5.9g
carbs, Michelob ULTRA’s Fruit Infused Pilsners are light on guilt, but immersed in flavor.
From their website, they recommend certain food pairings for each flavor. They state:
Pomegranate Raspberry: Serve with marinated pork and fresh vegetables. The subtle hint of berry in the beer plays off the tenderness of the meat and the light carbonation brings out the flavors in most grilled vegetables.
Tuscan Orange Grapefruit: Serve with lighter foods such as salads and grilled chicken. The tanginess of grapefruit and clean citrus taste enhances the overall flavor of these dishes.
Lime Cactus: Serve with ethnic fare such as spicy chorizo-based dish or carne asada tacos because the beer balances the dishes' heat and brings out the subtle smokiness. It also pairs well with seafood.

SAM
ADAMS UTOPIA IS AVAILABLE AT POND POINT !!!!!
The 2007 release of Samuel Adams Utopias is our fourth. This unique beer is the most recent of our
"extreme" beers that continue to challenge
drinkers' notion of what a beer can be. Beginning in 1994 with the release of Samuel Adams Triple Bock, Jim Koch and our brewers have continually sought to create new styles of beer that extend the traditional boundaries of beer. These diverse beers surprise the palates of beer lovers and aficionados of other fine beverages like wine and spirits.
Samuel Adams Utopias is brewed at a very high gravity using a wide variety of malted barley and a touch of maple syrup. It is fermented and conditioned using a pair of proprietary yeast strains we developed at our Boston Brewery. The 2007 release of this unique brew is a blend of batches, some aged up to 13 years in a variety of woods, including bourbon, sherry, Madeira, brandy & Cognac casks, each adding unique flavor notes and layers of complexity.
Sam Adams has created
another vintage of the limited edition Samuel Adams Utopias,
one of their Extreme
Beers in the line of sipping beers. Samuel
Adams is releasing 8,000 bottles of the
kettle-shaped bottle reminiscent of the copper
brewing kettles used by brewmasters for
hundreds of years. The Utopia is 27% alcohol
and therefore the "strongest beer in the
world."
Truly the epitome of
brewing's two thousand year evolution, Samuel Adams Utopias offers a flavor not just unlike any other beer but unlike any other beverage in the world. Its warm, sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. With an alcohol content of 27% by volume, its complexity and sweet, malty flavor is reminiscent of a deep, rich vintage Port, fine Cognac or aged sherry while being surprisingly light on the palate. And like the
world's finest after-dinner drinks, Samuel Adams Utopias is not carbonated and should be served at room temperature.
In one of many examples where Samuel Adams Utopias pushed the boundaries of beer into the realm of other fine beverages, it received the highest recommendation (96-100 points) from the prestigious Wine Enthusiast Magazine (November, 2003 edition).
Consider the most expensive regularly released beer in the world, Samuel Adams
Utopias. The 2007 release of Utopias is also the world’s strongest beer, at 27 percent alcohol by volume. (Despite cries of
"That's not really beer!" Utopias certainly is beer. It was made from almost all malt, though small amounts of maple syrup were
used; it was fermented to its full strength; and there was no
distillation, fortification, or concentration
used, which would be illegal under the terms of Boston
Beer's brewing license.) But that's not why it’s so pricey.
It's a blend of rare and expensive aged beers, some dating back 13 years and most aged in a variety of barrels: bourbon, sherry, port, and scotch. There are, as company founder and president Jim Koch puts it,
"a ton of ingredients in there, and it takes time measured in months and
years." The process also includes years of research and ideas that
didn't pan out, yeast breeding and training, the patience to hold onto the older beers, and careful blending. The
bottle's pretty nifty too: It's an individually numbered,
copper-toned decanter in the shape of a brew kettle, complete with working doors.
Due to legal restrictions, Samuel Adams Utopias is not offered in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, or West Virginia.
BEER
NEWS: (
FROM HOMEPAGE)
Hops in the fountain of youth?
By all about beer magazine
The most complete study ever of alcohol's effects on health found that a drink a day in middle age reduces the risk of death by 20 percent. The research conducted by the American Cancer Society attempts to add up the pluses and minuses of drinking and the overall effect of alcohol on health.
Like previous studies, this one found that modest drinking is, on balance, healthful. The ill effects, including cancer, are greatly offset by alcohol's benefits to the heart. "The best advice to the public is, nothing in excess," said Dr. Michael J. Thun, the study's lead author.
Among the results released in December:
Men and woman who averaged one drink a day had a 21 percent lower risk of death than did nondrinkers.
The benefits decreased as people drank more. Among those who averaged four to five drinks a day, the risk of death among men was 10 percent lower, while among women it was 7 percent lower.
Women who consumed at least one drink a day had a 30 percent higher risk of dying from breast cancer than did nondrinkers.
Drinkers also faced a higher risk of dying from cirrhosis, alcoholism and cancer of the mouth, throat and liver.
Overall, drinkers had about a 30 percent to 40 percent lower risk of dying of cardiovascular disease than did teetotalers.
Alcohol appears to protect the heart by raising levels of HDL, the good variety of cholesterol, and it may have other beneficial effects on the circulatory system as well.
We are lucky enough to have a
true Beer Connoisseur, as one of our great
customers, he was kind enough to take one of our
specialty brews with him to a tasting event
& give us feedback on it , thanks
Gerry-
English Dark Ale
Hobgoblin (UK)
Caramel sweet, Nottingham Forest wood; bland, boring, fruity,
old English hops. Tastes like it's made right on the Scottish border.
We often find that English beers travel badly..especially Sam Smith's. They
also tend to be rather unexciting compared to what
America and the rest of
the world has to offer. However customers have a tendency to buy with their
eyes not their taste buds so the great packaging of Hobgoblin I suppose
makes it a seller.
Long Trail has just put out a terrific IPA (5.6 %) in its Brewmaster
series which knocks the spots off any of the IPA's coming out of England. I
always felt that we don't buy our milk from England so why buy our beers
from there when such wonderful (and dreadful) beers are available locally?
