just a little something on some drinks

I don't know if it is just me but every time I have any Hinterland Beer bought from the store, no matter what flavor it all has this strange weird taste. I am almost beginning to think that it is the bottles they use since it is the same odd bad tasted with every flavor. Maybe it is a particular ingredient they use too, I don't know and I can not put my finger on it. It is like part of me wants to like the beers I try from them, especially since they are a local brewery right here in Green Bay, WI but part of me really thinks there is just something wrong with them too. Maybe I should go to the restaurant and have some fresh from the tap beer to get an honest taste.




Well the other day I did pick up some Hinterland Amber Ale and some Saison Farmhouse Ale. These were just OK in my opinion, I don't think I could really drink more than one bottle of either in a sitting. They are just not good drinking beers, but maybe more something to have with a meal.




I also picked up a couple other pricey brews. I bought a bottle of Samuel Adams Dark Depths Baltic IPA. This was much better than the Hinterland brews though it still was not a good drinking beer but another great beer to have with a nice hearty meal. It has a 7.6% alcohol content which I always like to see beers with higher alcohol. The only bad thing is usually higher alcohol tends to mean higher price too.





The other new brew I bought to try out was Lake Front Brewery's Local Acre Lager Now this was by far the best of the bunch I bought. I nice golden lager with a decent 7% alcohol content. It was both a good meal beer and one that you could drink more of easily. Also the fact that it is another quality beer brewed in Wisconsin so you have to love that. I like to keep money here in the state and locally when I can, always good to support your local economy.





I picked up a 6 pack of Mike's Hard Limeade, this stuff is way too tasty. I love limeade, lime Popsicle, and so on and this stuff is bad news for me..haha. They are especially really good ice cold on a nice hot summer day.

Now for the weekend I just picked up some good old reliable stuff to drink. I bought a 6 pack of some good easy to drink and taste great Kirin Ichiban Japanese beer. It is just a nice golden beer that goes down smooth, can drink plenty of them if you are thirsty that is for sure.

Then I also purchased a bottle of the always cheap and dependable Old Thompson Whiskey. If you are in the mood for some mixer drinks with whiskey this is by far your best value, when it is mixed it is not even noticed. Heck to be honest it isn't even that bad of a whiskey to drink shots of either. Granted it is no high quality bourbon or anything, but it is not terrible like some whiskey's out there. All I need is some Coke and I can easily drink this cheap whiskey any day, but give me the chance I would much rather have a great bourbon instead.

1940's Old Thompson Ad. I thought of course , my friends always stop over in their helicopter's.

Well here is to a good rest of the weekend. I hope everybody is enjoying their's as well.
