Checking out New Jersey Beer Co.

Hey everyone, thanks for coming by!  

Kerry and I were recently near Hudson/Bergen County, so we decided to check out New Jersey Beer Co. (NJBC) in North Bergen.  NJBC will soon be celebrating their third anniversary!  I can't believe it has taken us this long to stop in and check things out!

On tap at NJBC was their core lineup plus a winter seasonal.  The core lineup of beers are 1787 Abbey Single Ale, Garden State Stout and Hudson Pale Ale.  The winter seasonal, and my personal favorite, was the Weehawken Wee Heavy.  All visitors to the brewery are allowed a 4 oz. taster of each beer and a tour of their small brewery.  All of their beers were pleasing, and would appeal to a large audience of beer drinkers.

  Thanks to the recent law that was passed by NJ government, NJ breweries may now sell pints of beer in their taprooms!  NJBC was selling pints of their core beers for $4 and pints of their seasonal Wee Heavy for $5.  They also had lots of swag you could purchase (hats, shirts, hoodies, pint glasses, tap handles).

NJBC sells their beer on draft at bars around NJ, and also bottles their core lineup.  Here's some pictures I snapped of their new bottling line and some NJBC branded kegs.

    Some of us at drinklikeanadult.com were looking into checking out the New Jersey Beer Company. I'm glad somebody thinks so highly of it; it's definitely on my list of breweries to head to now!

      They're definitely a pretty small operation, but they make some tasty beers. Have you been able to try any of their beers on draft or in the bottle?

Dogfish Head Positive Contact

Frankenstorm is on it's way.  Bread: Check.  Candles: Check.  Ice: Check.  Beer: Check!  The big storm is supposed to strike land here in NJ late Sunday night into early Monday morning, and last until late Tuesday.  Kerry and I live in the western part of NJ, so we should be safe from most of it, except for local river flooding.  Tonight I'll be reviewing Positive Contact from Dogfish Head.  This is their collaboration with Dan the Automator (who I honestly had never heard of before this collaboration). I poured Positive Contact into my Yards Brewing tulip glass.  It poured a pale orange, golden color with a two and a half finger width head.  Apples, bananas and peppers hit my nose right away.  The smell is incredible and strong.  The Positive Contact is full of flavor, and reminds me of a smooth drinking Belgian tripel.  It tastes immediately of fruity esters, mainly banana.  The finish is peppery.  I'm not getting any apple flavor.  This beer is light bodied, with

BJCP: Strong Scotch Ale (9E)

This is the first article in a new series of posts, where I will periodically choose a section from the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines , write about the style, and then drink and publish my tasting notes from some of the commercial examples given by the BJCP.  Now, I'm not sure if I will ever actually take the exam to become a beer judge, but I think this will be a fun exercise to learn more about beer! Fair warning, I will not be doing the sections of the BJCP style guidelines in any sort of order.  Whichever kinds of beer I am craving is what I will be writing about! Strong Scotch Ales (also known as Wee Heavy) comprise sub-category 9E in the BJCP style guidelines.  They range between 6.5% and 10.0% ABV, and have a light copper to dark brown appearance.  Obviously, strong scotch ales are all about showcasing the malt.  While studying this style, I found it quite interesting that the brewers ferment out the wort at cooler temperatures than other

Beer Digest: Mission St., Hitachino, Weyerbacher

I've had some really great and interesting beers over the last week.  In this new post series, I'm going to highlight my favorite beers from the last week or so.  Hope you enjoy reading!  Suggestions and comments are always welcome! Mission St 2013 Anniversary Ale (Trader Joe's) Steinhaus Brewing Co. (brewed at Firestone Walker in Cali) 8.5% ABV I wasn't really sure what to expect from this beer, but it took me by surprise.  They say it is is blend of three different brews, and when it all comes together the final product is an imperial brown ale.  There was lots of malt, a little roast, and a full, creamy body.  I was surprised how fast I made it through the whole bottle.  There wasn't the slightest hint of the 8.5% ABV.  If more brown ales tasted like this, I would probably drink them more often. Mission St. 2013 Anniversary Ale from Trader Joe's Hitachino Nest XH Kiuchi Brewery 7% ABV Kiuchi Brewery's Hitachino Nest XH is one
