Smoky and roasty the same way a porter is, but it has a nice lager-y finish. A Schwarzbier is one of the more obscure, yet traditional German lagers. I knew I had to visit for at least a beer and when I saw this Schwarzbier, I latched onto it. Las Vegas…not exactly a great beer city, but the hotel I was staying at for a work conference just opened an onsite brewbpub – Trustworthy Brewing. Kalon (Trustworthy Brewing Co) | Schwarzbier | 3.75 bottle Caps on untappd Think Carton’s Regular Coffee but about a third of the ABV. The best parts of an iced coffee and beer in one. Anyway, the beer – a Cream Ale infused with Coffee – was a perfect way to start the night, clean, extremely flavorful, and light. On those days, they team becomes the Trenton Pork Rolls. Unfortunately, they are on the far end of the state from me, so I was happy to see one of their beers available when my wife and I went to a Trenton Thunder (AA Affiliate of the New York Yankees) for Pork Roll Fridays. Irish Queen (Bonesaw Brewing Co) | Cream Ale | 4 Bottle Caps on untappdīonesaw is one of the NJ breweries I’ve been hearing and seeing great things about since they opened. There’s a reason this beer is the top rated (as of this writing) Lager on Beer Advocate – it is simply outstanding. The hops are *perfect* in this beer, you get a burst of flavor from the hops, without overtaking everything else about the beer or knocking you over the head with hops. It is the top checked in beer of Jack’s Abby, a brewery that has not disappointed in their entry to New Jersey. India Pale Lagers are far from a standard, available-everywhere style and I’ve only had a couple before trying this delicious, hoppy beer. Hoponius Union (Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers) | Lager – IPL (India Pale Lager) | 4.50 bottle Caps on untappd Great for summer, great for an anytime refreshment. The sweetness from the blackberry works extremely well with the earthy base of the saison. The flavor however, is traditional in that it hits the palate with bold flavors. Saison is one of the most traditional of styles, but as the color of the beer above suggests, purple is not exactly a traditional beer color. Great straightforward styles, and really interesting out of the box takes on traditional styles. The Tiller – Blackberry Saison (Czig Meister Brewing Company) | Farmhouse Ale – Saison | 4.25 bottle Caps on untappdĬzig Meister continues to rise in my personal ranks of New Jersey Breweries. A variety of styles, but back to a split of 3 NJ beers and 3 non-NJ beers this month. You know the cooler weather is coming, but there are still some warm days and good time to lounge by the pool with some good beers. We hope you don’t grow too weary of the alcohol alliterative names we use…Īugust is like the Sunday of summers. Draught Diversions is the catchall label for mini-rants, think-pieces, and non-review posts here at The Tap Takeover.
