As last weekend began a stretch of 90+ temps. with high humidity has hit the northeast and southeast. We are much warmer here now than our Florida brethren. Beer can be used as a cooling agent so let's get going with a domestic lager tasting pitting 2 northeast brews.
Brooklyn Lager: Color-Orangish amber Nose-Fresh First taste-Flavorful; full mouth Observations-Well balanced Where brewed? Utica, NY Fizziness-Light head; steady bubbles Cost-90 cents per 12 ozs(up now to $1.04) Saying-"The Pre-Prohibition Beer" Ingredients-Malted barley, hops, water and yeast Aftertaste-Lasting positive experience Rating-8
Yeungling Lager: Color-Dark yellow amber Nose-Of yeast First taste- Some taste; fast fade Observations-Strong flavor Where Brewed? Pottsville, Pa. Fizziness-Rim head; good carbonation Cost-65 cents per 12 ozs.(a bargain) Saying-"America's Oldest Brewery" (1829) Ingredients-Hops, barley, malt, yeast and water Aftertaste-Pleasant Rating-6.75 Final Thought-Price of Brooklyn Lager has gone up recently at Costco from $21.49 to $24.99 a sign that other brewers will follow?
