Smithwick’s
Guinness Ltd. | Dublin, Ireland
Purchased @
Lone Star Beverages - Carrollton, Texas USA
Style: Irish Ale
This is another one of my go-to brews! Ultra smooth and crisp. Good sour bite all the way through. Silky caramel feel and taste from start to finish. Such an easy drinking brew that it can be enjoyed repeatedly all day long! Just a note I’d like to toss in – the “w” in Smithwick’s is silent! I get a good chuckle when folks order it at the bar! I tell folks that don’t care for a regular Guinness to give this brew a try and most that do tend to add it among their favorites! Give it a shot and I’m sure you’ll come to appreciate it as well. I’m thinking lamb burgers next time I’m enjoying this brew!!

Pyramid Juggernaut Red Ale
Pyramid Breweries, Inc. | Seattle, Washington USA
Purchased @
Lone Star Beverages - Carrollton, Texas USA
Style: Amber Ale
Quite a good brew for those looking for a red ale that is both flavorful and easy on the belly when drinking. This brew is loaded up with just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness that will have you enjoying every drop! Keep in mind this is more of a baseline brew in this beer style which means it is nothing over the top but definitely not a bad brew by any means. Paired up real well with some spicy chicken enchilada casserole.

Latrobe Rolling Rock Extra Pale
Latrobe Brewing Co. | St. Louis, Missouri USA
Purchased @
Beer & Wine World - Mansfield, Texas USA
Style: Pale Lager
Pleasant summer time lager and a good thirst quencher. I would easily choose this brew over the ‘big-boy’ mass-produced brews anytime! Lots of corn in the smell and taste of this beer. Not much going on otherwise but still a tasty brew and easy on the pocketbook. Drink it ice cold!!

Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager
Dixie Brewing Co. | New Orleans, Louisiana USA
Purchased @
Beer & Wine World - Mansfield, Texas USA
Style: Schwarzbier
A real good ‘drinkin’ beer; very easy drinker for a beer of this style. Sweet up front with a nice bitter bite on the finish. Not as dark as I was expecting but this one is way better than the brew they call “their best” (i.e. Dixie Beer)!! Definitely a good brew to have on-hand to enjoy with a good burger or some smoked brats.

Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale
Boulevard Brewing Co. | Kansas City, Missouri USA
Purchased @
Beer & Wine World - Mansfield, Texas USA
Style: Saison / Farmhouse Ale
Zangy & tangy!! This is definitely a lemon-lover’s brew!! Amazingly refreshing with an excellent ‘chewy’ texture. One of the best of this beer style that I have yet to savor! Smells like lemon meringue pie! Wicked carbonation in full effect. Tastes like ‘dessert-in-a-bottle’! Definitely one to put on your ‘to-try’ list if you haven’t had the pleasure of tasting this brew!
