Straight From the Draughts

In the words of the 90s rock band Staind, “It’s Been Awhile.” 

Merry Christmas, you filthy Draughters! While we snuggle up next to the fire, open presents and spend time with loved ones, we have a variety of options when it comes to choice of drink. While some may go with some wine or a festive cocktail, here are a few beers that I tested out for this Christmas season. Think of this as our little gift to you, and maybe one becomes a Christmas tradition drink for you and your family. 

Hey fellow Draughters! Football season came upon us, and with that, so did Natty Light and Miller Lite season. But no one needs a rating for those, as we all know they are the most superior!

How have you been?! It has been a while! 

This week's beer reviews come from a variety of different kind of ales. Ales are warmed using a fermentation method that is warm, which results in an ale being more hops heavy. This fermentation method also allows ales to be sweeter with more hints of fruit. Let's take a look at some of the ales we found at the local store.

This week's beer review comes with a couple of, unintentional, themes. The three beers that were tried come from various breweries around Ohio, each coming with its own citrusy twist. While I enjoyed some more than others, each was something I could see myself ordering in the future.  

One of my favorite parts of finding new craft beer to try is simple: a cool can. Nothing screams "TRY ME!" like a can that grabs your attention from a shelf. Sometimes it can be a crazy design, other times it can be a clever name. Many times, especially when it comes to a local brewer, a can has the ability to give you some history and insight to a brewery's namesake or mission. Let's go through a few of my favorites.
