Mould's Beer Blog

Wow, it has been a long time!  I have neglected this blog, and drinking, for much of the past 3 weeks.  There were some health issues I had to deal with, but everything is good now, and I am back!  I'm working on a few different posts, and there should be fairly steady content from here on out! Tonight I am drinking Brooklyn Brewery's Silver Anniversary Lager.  This beer was released in 25.4 oz. bottles and kegs.  One of my local beer stores, Central Liquors in Flemington, NJ, had a growler station takeover of Brooklyn Brewery beers earlier today.  I jumped at the chance to pick up a growler of the Silver Anniversary Lager on tap!

Weihenstephaner Korbinian Tonight I am opening a bottle of Korbinian from Weihenstephaner while watching The Walking Dead.  I picked this bottle up for around $2.49 from my local Wegmans.  Korbinian is a German doppelbock.  The label also reads "Dunkles Starkbier."  Starkbier was a new beer term to me, so I looked it up.  According to The German Beer Institute, a starkbier is a tax category for beers in Germany, and means "strong" beer.  Bocks, do...

Greeting everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  The other day, I had a bock beer from a brewery I won't mention the name of, and, to be brutally honest, it was pretty terrible.  Bock is a style I am not terribly familiar with, so I made it a point to go out and find a true bock so I can have a better idea of the style.  At my local Wegmans, I picked up a bottle of Weihenstephaner Vitus, which is classified as a weizenbock.  Let's check it out! Weihenstephaner Vitus Vitus Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan Weizenbock 7.7% ABV Brewed under the Purity Law of 1516 1 pint 0.9 fl oz bottle poured into the closest glass I had to a weizen glass Weihenstephaner Vitus Weihenstephaner Vitus pours a cloudy gold color with a large, fluffy white head.  There is a non-stop stream of bubbles quickly rising to the surface of the beer to escape.  The aromas in this beer jump right out at me, filling my nose with citrusy fruit...
