Recently I had an opportunity to taste a beer that I had never tried. Ive enjoyed a few different ale's in the past, but mostly I'm a lager fan. But I was pleasantly surprised when I had Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale!

This award winning sipping beer has the distinctive nose of a well-crafted bourbon.  It is aged for up to 6 weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries.

It has a flavor of vanilla and is pleasantly smooth and robust. Even if your just a lager beer fan like me, go out and try Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Red Stripe Beer was 1st brewed in 1928 at Surrey Brewery located in Kingston, Jamaica. When first brewed it had a more ale like flavor and was very rich and flavorful.

In 1938, a lighter golden style lager version was introduced, and is the same version that is enjoyed worldwide today.

In 1956 the new Hunt's Bay Brewery was built and in 1962 they began exports to Grand Cayman and Eastern Caribbean.

In 1974 Red Stripe began exports to the USA.

Beer is a food product and does have a shelf life. Anheuser Busch Beers packaged in bottles and cans has a shelf life of 110 days from the born on date printed on each can and bottle of Anheuser Busch beers. Draft beer from Anheuser Busch is 50 days from the born on date.

Can & Bottled beer is pasturized. Draft Beer is not, so draft must be kept cold at all times.

Foam head is a good thing. Beer poured down the side of the glass eliminating the foam head will make the beer look flat and unappealing. It will make the beer taste gassy and will fill you up faster.

A half-barrel of beer holds 15.5 gallons and yields 154 servings. Drawing a beer down the side of the glass eliminating the foam head only will serve about 124 servings. That is a large loss in servings and profits as well.

Usually a response to that question is no, I want a big beer ! Little Beers are a alot different. I found out about these unique shooters when visiting a local pub here in the Midwest. They were served a very small beer mug that held about two ounces. The main ingredient is Licor 43, a liqueur that has been made in Spain for over 1800 years. Also known as Cuarenta Y Tres, (which translates into the number 43). Licor 43 has almost the same color as a lager beer, however has a sweet vanilla flavor. The Licor 43 is poured into the mini mug to three-quarters full. The bartender then gently tops it with whipped cream, to resemble the foam head of a beer. The flavor tastes just like vanilla ice cream! You can check it out at www.licor43.com
