Two Brothers Long Haul Session Ale
Two Brothers Long Haul is out of the Two Brothers “J Series,” which is aged in French Oak.
With summer approaching, I thought choosing a session ale would be appropriate. A session ale is basically a lower abv (alcohol by volume) than most other craft beers. Normally, session ales sit around 3.9% - 5.0% with 5% being high.
Two Brothers Long Haul is at 4.2%.
Rail Splitter IPA
Appearance – Rail Splitter pours thin with a dark, copper color & a thick off-white head. The head appears so thick, that it seems like it not going anywhere soon!
Smell – Very malty smell with a slight hop aroma
Sam Adams Alpine Spring Beer:
APPEARANCE - Sam Adams Alpine Spring Beer beer pours a light copper in color. It has a thick, white head that subsides at a slow pace but with some lacing. Alpine has a slight haze to it with little carbonation.
SMELL - Sam Adams Alpine Spring Beer smells fruity, (I'm going to say apricot), followed by yeast-like smell...like it’s going to be a little sweet.

Our “Fall Flavors” Tasting highlighted:
Just in case you missed our Riesling 101 Tasting, here are the cliff notes.
What is Riesling wine? Rieslings are white wines which are often light in body, crisp and refreshing with varying levels of sweetness.
Rieslings have high acidity, low to medium alcohol levels with aromas/flavors that range from fruity to flowery to minerally.
I got in to craft brews because drinking the same old beer just wasn't for me. I wanted to expand the debate of Miller vs Coors. Everyone knows of Miller’s Triple Hops and that Coors Light has a crisp and refreshing finish and is frost-brewed. And I’m sure this reminds some of you of your own long road into craft brews.
As my regular customers know, I am currently employed at Wise Guys Discount Liquors. (www.wiseguysliquors.com) And this opportunity alone has helped me evolve my pursuit to know the world of micro brews. I am happy to announce I am in the beginning stages of the Cicerone program specializing in Beer. I thought I knew about beer, but I’ve learned even more since taking these classes.
