Not to be dumb,but what are they ,Carl ? I never heard of micro brew but I love beer--really strong beer, the strongest like Guiness Extra Stout ------------------ Life is lived in the sand box. He who controls his Spirit is greater than he who controls a city Proverbs IP: Logged |

Right now, we have a keg of Drake's IPA in the house. Is that considered a microbrew?Most of the beers we drink aren't any of the 'big name' brewers. IP: Logged |

There is a new micro brewer here in the County. I tried some and it wasn`t pleasing at all. I`m assuming one has to aquire a taste for it? ------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

All microbrews will be different, juni. It depends on what kind of lager/ale they are making.The differences between micros can be night and day. They can be anywhere from a light amber color to a dark coffee color and can have flavors ranging from mild and fruity to strong and bitter. IP: Logged |

Try a light colored one! Ask for a wheat beer, Hefeweizen, or one that features fruit. Some of them come as apricot, blueberry or orange and those are usually light, mild, fruity and refreshing.

MoonWitch cool! I've never done that. We had a place in my home city where you could go in and brew your own. Put your own labels on the bottles & everything. I'm a pale ale kind of gal, for the most part. Juni, you might be able to handle them too. IP: Logged |
