We're both pizanos, so we're always excited to try a beer out of Italy. The Genziana from Birra del Borgo is made with Gentain, a bitter root. Even though it only spends 2 minutes in the boil, it makes a big impact on the flavor. The bottle conditioning is huge here. The best thing we can say is, you HAVE to go try this beer! It's surprising, new, different, and will put a smile on your face!

We've loved just about everything we've tried from Arcadia Brewing Company in Battle Creek, Michigan. Turns out, the Jaw-Jacker is no exception. Although this steps slightly to the side of an actual "Pumpkin Ale" (because it has no pumpkin, a mistake many people make) it does use the spices you would expect, and is in fact a Spiced Beer. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice - it's all there in a fantastic tribute to Pumpkin Pie. A 95 from Johnny and a 92 from Dave means you have to go try this!

Although the fall season is dominated by Marzen and Oktoberfest style beers, the sleeper seasonal is the Harvest Ale. A fantastic style, it celebrates the final harvest of the season. The Bateman's Combined Harvest Ale, from the George Bateman & Sons company and the Salem Bridge Brewery, really goes after the grain, including barley, oats, wheat, and rye! We often only get a single grain, let alone four! Despite that, it's only 4.7% ABV. Brewed in the Burton-Upon-Trent style, using hard water to enhance flavor, this impressed Dave and really impressed Johnny.

Family owned since 1860, this beer was rated the #8 best beer in the world by the New York Times, and is often called a "gourmet beer." An abbey style triple, this beer has specific pouring instructions, where you are supposed to pour gently so as to NOT get any sendiment in your glass. It's triple-fermented, although it only ends up at 7.5% ABV. Do we agree with the NY Times that this is one of the top ten beers in the world? You'll have to watch to find out ;)

Author: twoguysonbeer Added: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:57:35 -0800 Duration: 0Episode 6 focuses on a variety of beers - two Spring seasonals and a beer brewed in Belgium specifically for Monk's in Philadelphia! Join us for a little journey into some non-traditional beers, and the first beer we actually DISLIKE!

Sam Adams launched their Imperial line of beers this year. The Imperial White is a Whitbier (wheat beer), but this one boasts a 10.3% ABV, which is enormous for a wheat. Brewed with ale yeasts, the beer can be brewed at higher temperatures. While maintaining some of the hints of a traditional wheat - smooth, banana like flavors and hints of citrus, this one reminds us of a Belgian double or triple with its amber color and noticeable caramel notes and high-level heat. The resulting mixed-style of this beer is actually fantastic, and we are fans. Go find and try this beer!
