Quick Brew Hits
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 by Allen
I've been talking alot about craft/micro brews lately and beers that aren't typically served in your restaurants and sold at 7-11s. That doesn't mean I hate on/don't drink any of the macrobrews that are so common. So this edition of Quick Brew Hits will list some of the beers I typically order when you can't get the small, local craft brews. These are mainly lighter in flavor, lighter bodied, and pretty unassuming beers that are good when you're just hanging out with your friends and munching on pub grub (except for one of them).
In this edition: Stella Artois, Yuengling Lager, Newcastle Brown Ale, Coors Light
Stella Artois - Not sure why, but Stella is becoming one of the beers I will usually get when at a typical American restaurant. It is becoming more and more prevalent at the bars, probably because it is easily accessible, but a tier above the typical light beers. It's got a thin sweetness, is refreshing, somewhat fizzy, and has this very slight metallic/skunky flavor (even on tap) to it which, oddly enough, balances out the sweetness. Pretty much, it won't get in the way of anything.
