It's BEER TIME

Hey folks!
First post about beer, get excited! Tonight, we're going across the oceans with some international beers!
John's going with Fuller's Organic Honey Dew from England, an ale brewed with honey. Gerry has chosen Singha Lager from Bangkok, Thailand!

Honey Dew - like the name might suggest, this is a decidedly golden beer, both in color and taste. It's semi-sweet, and very creamy- very drinkable. At 5% ABV though, you're not likely to get "crunk" off of this. It's clean, finishes quickly with just a bit of a sweet aftertaste. I'd recommend this beer for light drinking, sometime in the afternoon perhaps, this beer is good by itself. You could drink this with most anything, but you'd be risking overpowering the taste of the beer. You can get this tasty beer from across the pond at your local BevMo.

Singha - this clean and crisp brew out of the Kingdom of Thailand delivers a tangy punch without being overwhelming. When nicely chilled, this would be a great beer to sip on while relaxing on the beaches of Phuket! Again at 5% ABV, this isn't going to ruin your day, but will give you a nice fuzzy feeling after a few bottles. Gerry wasn't as much of a fan of this one, he commented "after over 70 years of brewing, they might want to update the recipe." Still, it's a decent lager, available at most decent supermarkets and of course, BevMo.




Thanks for reading folks, and cheers as always!
