About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Lost Coast Old Ale
Name: Old Ale
Brewery: Lost Coast
Overall Rating: A
Style: Old Ale (19A)
Serving Style: Draft, pint @ O’Brien’s
ABV: 8.5%
Price: $4.50
Aroma: Very slight malt aromas.
Appearance: Cloudy orange-amber color with a pure white head. Moderate lacing.
Flavor: Very smooth malt flavors. The taste is real subtle. Very well balanced. Didn’t taste ABV at all.
Mouthfeel: Very full and smooth mouthfeel.
Enjoyability: I liked this one quite a bit. It was a real nice, easy drinking, session ale (if you can maintain at 8% and not be FLIMSY!).
Another take: I hate to do this, but I couldn’t find any other blogs that had reviewed this: Nubvocate* | RakeBeer
*The rights for the term nubvocate are a CORE term and only to be used by CORE members of COREBrewing. It was first coined by McClure at the Beer Wars movie event!
