Episode 118 - Great Lakes Eliot Ness

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:50:01 GMT

The Eliot Ness is a Vienna style lager - a lager that maintains crispness while at the same time allowing some darker malts to make their way in to the beer. (Sam Adams Boston Lager is the most widely known Vienna style lager in the US.) This particular lager is named after Eliot Ness, the famous leader of The Untouchables, and it is both ironic and fitting. While Ness spent much of his career enforcing prohibition, he was also well known to appreciate a libation or two. As if that weren't enough of a reason to put him on a bottle, the mother of the owners of Great Lakes was Eliot Ness's stenographer! What's that? How's the beer? It would make Eliot Ness proud, we think.

Episode 117 - Great Lakes Commodore Perry

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:53:02 GMT

One of our "Great Lakes Brewing" series, we examine the Commodore Perry IPA. The beer celebrates an epic battle fought by Commodore Perry and his men on Lake Erie during the war of 1812. This IPA actually presents a nice malt nose, which doesn't necessarily accompany all IPAs, and that helps this beer along its journey to becoming an incredible beer. Wonderfully complex and balanced, yet still ending with a traditional IPA bitter, this beer scores quite high with both of us.

Episode 070 - Erie Golden Fleece Maibock, Koningshoeven Bock Trappist Ales

Mon, 11 May 2009 18:54:05 GMT

It's Spring, which means it's Bock season. We try one on for size, and then try out a Trappist Ale that is an interpretation on a bock. The Maibock comes in decent, but the Trappist kind of disappoints.
