A categorisation of types of beer. Especially as it applies to the home brewer. There are almost as many classifications of beer as there are people who drink it. O.K. that’s something of an exaggeration, but it is a fact that commercial breweries produce an amazing variety of beers with different

Irish beer is dominated by Stout. June 17th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed Irish beer has a long history, as well as Irish beer brewing. In the beginning of the nineteenth century there were in total more than 200 breweries in Ireland, this fell during the nineteenth century to about fifty, and now today there are only about 12 left.

A few days ago, I took at look through Amazon and MakeBeer.net to see if the Coopers Irish Stout I have been waiting for was back in stock. It has been unavailable since before St. Patrick’s Day. I guess all the Irish scooped it up. Guess what? I was in luck. A new shipment of ingredients had arrived from Australia.

After eating dinner at Cafe Polonia David, Win and I went to Deep Ellum for more beer. Deep Ellum was a planned stop about a year ago when David and Dave came up to visit on St. Patrick's Day, but we never made it then because of numerous detours to bars of lesser quality, and serious inebriation.

Tonight was the night to open one of the stronger beers.  It has been a long week (only Tuesday, I know) and I need some of the hard stuff… at least something with some kick.  So, I reached for Quilter’s Irish Death from Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg, WA.  A somewhat local brewery that hasn’t been open for long, but can make a good tasting beer, that is for sure.

So, after getting ahold of some O’Hara’s Irish Red which was less-than-stellar, I made a concerted effort to try again, but from a different retailer. This time, I went to my favorite retailer. To my delight, they had both the Red and the Stout available. Always up for a good stout, that’s what I picked up.
