Tom Becham Reviews Founders Brewing’s Mango Magnifico con Calor
Written by Tom Becham
If you have followed my reviews on Professor Good Ales, you know that I’m not generally keen on gimmicky beers. For me, any fruit beer should be, first and foremost, a beer, with the fruit being a contributor rather than the main attraction.
Of course, as with all rules, even personal rules about preference, there are exceptions. Continue reading “Tom Becham Reviews Founders Brewing’s Mango Magnifico con Calor”
9 of America’s best beer gardens
(CNN)Purists, rejoice: This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot, known in English as the German Beer Purity Law.
The set of regulations dates back to a 1516 decree outlining three permissible beer ingredients: hops, barley and water (yeast, while not specifically mentioned in the text of the law, is also acceptable).
This was a way to ensure the quality and integrity of German beer and to relegate grains like wheat and rye to baking bread instead of brewing beer.

Otter Creek Steampipe
Profiled by Maria Devan
I loved this. Hops smell like soft grasses with sharp flowers on them. Just a hint of sweetness but mostly cool earth. Citric like orange peel.
Yellow hazy white head that fell well. Attractive.
Taste is a touch crackery toasty malt that is not too dark or rich. Hops accent the middle with soft sweet floral and light tropical fruit. Moderate bitterness to finish it. Bubbles keep it light . The lager yeast helps with dryness. Finishes crisp and with prickly herbal hop flavor accented by fruity pizazz. After taste lingers with a good malty presence. satisfying. Just enough hops to say they were assertive. More! This style was developed exclusively in the US. Hops are mosaic and galaxy.

More than 3,000 cases of beer stolen from Atlanta brewery
A mystery is brewing in Georgia after thieves stole two trailers containing nearly 3,300 cases of beer early Tuesday.
SweetWater Brewing Co. said the trailers had been loaded for an early morning pickup when they were taken from the company’s plant north of downtown. The two trailers carried 3,272 cases altogether — or more than 78,500 bottles — of SweetWater’s Summer Variety Pack, company spokeswoman.
Both trailers were located with the help of GPS later Tuesday. However, the beer was gone.

Invert Syrups: Making Your Own Simple Sugars for Complex Beers
Invert sugar is ubiquitous in the culinary world. Added to confections like chocolate ganache, fudge, and taffy, it discourages other kinds of sugars from crystallizing. Incorporated into frozen desserts like gelato, sorbet, and ice cream, it delivers a smooth, creamy texture. And invert sugar bolsters the moist, tender crumb of madeleines and brioche. Naturally hygroscopic, it absorbs moisture and lengthens the shelf lives of foods that include it.
Invert sugar also happens to make a great beer. And boiling up your own is easier than you might think.

Beer Profile: Fairport Brewing’s Brewer’s Reserve Barley Wine
Profiled by Ken Carman
Nose: sweet caramel, no hops sensed, hint of caramel That’s all. Simple Sweet.
Appearance: small head, very tiny cream bubbles, deep, dark copper.
Flavor: a LOT of caramel, hops lite: if any, no bitter… more hint of herbal fruit to hops.
Mouthfeel: a bit dry for the style, low side bitter, PEPPER phenols…lite. Tad sweet. No hops.
Overall: this is an interesting addition to the barley wine style but pepper is a tad problematic and lack of hop sense “OK” but seems hint out of style, especially if American. Dryness detracts from rich sense of a barley wine. More Brit in nature for a barley wine. Close, but no 4.A slightly disappointing entry from the Rochester, NY brewery.
