38. Birra Peroni Industriale – Peroni Nastro Azzurro Draft

As I mentioned in my last post, we stopped for lunch at Millers Ale House in Tampa, FL.  Also, as I mentioned, for a place called an “Ale House,” their beer selection was pretty domestic, generic, and ironically, filled with lagers.  Although, a lager, I saw that the Peroni was on draft, so I thought I’d give it a try. It had a nice, pinky finger sized head with tiny bubbles which stuck around for quite a while due...

36. Desnoes & Geddes – Red Stripe Jamaican Lager

As I mentioned in my last post, it was the last night of our three weeks of intensive travel for work, and we had dinner at the RiverHouse Reef & Grill.  I started with a Yuengling, but I ordered the mahi-mahi and grilled shrimp, so I thought I’d try something a little lighter.  Besides, we were sitting on a pier overlooking the bay and Bradenton, FL, so I thought it would be good to go with a beer that would go with the...

35. Yuengling Brewery – Yuengling Traditional Lager Draft

It was the last night of our three weeks of intensive travel for work, and we found a nice seafood and steak place, the RiverHouse Reef & Grill, along the waterfront in Palmetto, Florida.  It was a nice place to sit, relax in the sea breeze, enjoy the sunset and evening, and reflect back on the last three weeks. The beer menu wasn’t huge, but since we can’t really get Yuengling in Illinois, and because it was on draft,...

34. Köstritzer Schwarzbierbrauerei – Köstritzer Schwarzbier

As I mentiond in my last post, we’re in Miami, and on the way to the airport, we found Fritz and Franz Bierhaus in Coral Gables. The menu was full of German and Austrian food and I ordered a schnitzel sandwich accompanied by a Köstritzer Schwarzbier. It was delivered in a very cold bottle with the long stem goblet you see here.  It had a nice, full tan creamy head on it when I poured it.  The head had pretty good retention, and...

14. Molson Coors – Molson Canadian Lager

We stopped at the Fox Sports Sky Box in Chicago’s O’hare Airport for lunch. The selection of beers was pretty typical, but I tried to find one that might not be an obviously easy one to pick up along the way, so I ordered a Molson Canadian Lager. It wasn’t served with a glass, so I can’t comment exactly on the color or head, but, again, having had this before, I know it’s a pale yellow with a decent head....
