Hudepohl - Pure Lager

Is it worth drinking? YES!

This is a great beer. For any Lager fans out there I suggest that you try it asap. This classic recipe of German origins, represents an original lager, in which we don't taste of to much around here. It has a very different flavor that is very hard to describe, but it is excellent! The closest resemblence to me (very personally) is Warsteiner dunkel, it has a similar flavor, but is lighter in color. This beer is brewed in Cincinnati, Ohio so if you have a chance to trade or stop in to get some I would suggest it.

Thanks to my friend Nathan Moreland for this hookup from ohio!

Elevator Brewing Company - Dark Force Lager

Is it worth drinking? Yes!

Flavor: 8

Elevator Brewing Company from Columbus, Ohio has put together a fantastic dark lager they originally called Dark Horse, but later changed to Dark Force (Im not sure why, but I would be that it has something to do with Dark Horse Brewing Company). This lager has an excellent taste! It is darker in color, and has a slightly hoppy top note, with a pretty standard lager finish. The brewing company describes the color as a dark copper, which holds to be true, but it drinks like a lager, so if your'e not a dark beer fan don't let that scare you. This is a great all year around beer provided by Elevator Brewing Company. This is the first of their beers that I have tried, and I will be trying more!

On a side not it was a bronze medal winner, out of 2,832 contestants at the Great American Beer festival in 2007! I can see why, this beer is definitely worth trying.

Rivertown Brewing Company - Blueberry Lager

Is it worth drinking? Yes!

This is probably one of the best fruit beers i've had. The flavor is not over the top, it is very well balanced into the beer itself. A nice blueberry top note with, a standard lager finish, and a bit of a lingering blueberry after taste. I was pleasantly surprised with this one, I had it just in time for the local blueberry fest here in my home town as well (it must be blueberry season?).

This is NOT a shitty piss water lager, trying to hide its "shittyness", or be more cost effective by putting it in a blender with blueberry pancake syrup, and calling it a blueberry fruit beer. In other words this is NOT wild blue. This is a real beer, and its real good!

I have yet to be disappointed by Rivertown products, I will be having a few more write ups on some of their good porters in the near future. October is approaching, and soon all the beers everywhere will be pumpkin or "oktober fest", so expect a Rivertown write up on their pumpkin ale soon as well.
