This week we check out The Bruery's Hottenroth. Tyler King, The Bruery's Head Brewmaster, joins us in the Taproom for a sampling of Hottenroth, a 3.2 ABV Berliner Weisse with a bit of tart.

This is a pretty good beer two thumbs up. The website is www.guinness.com

This week the New Brew Crew is sampling Victory Brewing Company's Baltic Thunder Porter. In last week's blog post we said we were drinking Alskan Brewing Company's Baltic Porter for this week's episode. Unfortunately, the liquor store we got the beer from, who said it was in stock, was mistaken. Victory Brewing to the rescue! We're pairing Victory's Baltic Thunder with dark chocolate and cheesecake. Baltic Thunder is widely available, so feel free to drink along with us.

A great choice for your St. Patrick's Day. Guinness Extra Stout was reviewed by elharlock and he gave it a 5 out of 5. Personally, I would have to agree with him since I enjoy a pint or two of this flavorful brew. Enjoy the video review.
