Batch 19: The Pre-Prohibition Style Lager

by cwhitmore | Posted May 6th, 2010 at 11:04 pm

Can you imaging life without beer?  Of course not, why the hell would you?  Thankfully for us, our interweb generation wasn’t around during Prohibition.  But what did beer taste like before 1920?  Funny you ask because Coors has just introduced Batch 19. It’s based on a 91-year-old, pre-Prohibition recipe (and named for the year 1919, before Prohibition began), delivers a “bold, hoppy flavor that is surprisingly well balanced.”

Now for the bad news.  Batch 19 is currently only available on draft in select speakeasy and saloon style bars in Chicago, San Fransisco, San Jose, Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee.  So if any of you luck bastards get to try it, let us know what you think.

Oh and you if like beer, make sure to check out Beer:30.

Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum: Beware of Pirates

by cwhitmore | Posted January 29th, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Whether you’re a pirate, my sister or pre-gaming for Mardi Gras next weekend, chances are you’re a fan of rum.  Let me introduce you to a new friend… just in time for the weekend too.  Say hello to Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum ($30).  This wonderful creation is a handcrafted blend of multiple different rums aged up to 12 years old. Single Barrel is blended and then aged further in a new charred oak barrel for another year, giving the libation a terrific golden brown color and smooth, complex taste with notes of pepper, wood, and caramel.  I know I’m nerding out but whatever, now I’m thirsty…
