Beer is a subject near and dear to my heart. It has been brewed for very nearly 10,000 years. This is much longer than wine has been around.
I chose the name “lagerhead” for two reasons:
1. It sounds like a type of turtle, and that is just funny.
2. I really dislike lager.
Though there are some really well done lagers, I prefer ales, as they are usually much more robust and flavorful. Some really good ones to try are (in no particular order):
1. Fat Tire Amber Ale (Colorado)
2. Dry Stout
3. Belgian Wit Bier (Also called Biere Blanche)
4. Belgian Trappist/Abbey styles, especially Chimay Blue
5. Scottish & Scotch Ales
6. Oh, ok… almost ANYTHING from Belgium.
7. Porter (George Washington’s favorite type of beer)
More on this subject later.
