BrewDog- The King of Rock is not dead.

BrewDog is the beer that just keeps on giving. I've tried a few of their beers now and they have yet to disappoint. The most recent one was this little treasure called " Elvis Juice ". The beer pours orange,  is topped by an off-white head, and laced with minimal bubbles. The aroma is very fruity and the first sip was the best, at least for me. There is just enough bitter grapefruit and hoppiness to be labeled an IPA, and carries a decent ABVso as not to overwhelm the flavor of the beer. All in all , this beer will definitely inspire a little less conversation and a whole lot more drinkin'. Keep it up BrewDog!

Price: Was on sale, so I got mine for under €2

Bon Secours Brune- A tasty, slightly higher in abv, brown Belgian ale treat.

I recently went to a newly opened shop near my house , and of course, spent over an hour trying to decide what to get. They had everything from your dunkels to your Belgian triples.  I'm not a snob, nor am I the most knowledgeable about beer styles and what have you, so thank god the shop owner was able to provide some insight. The beer I chose stuck out to me because of the bottling :

A Tall necked brown flip-top, 33cl bottle. I have an affinity for this style as my first foreign beer was a German one that came in a similar package. So, I inquired about this particular one and was told it was pretty good. I took a few bottles , along with some dunkels and some other brown beers and went to a buddy's house.


We opened this one up, aptly named Bon-Secours(if you don't speak French, you won't get it,hehe). The bottle let a bit of a gasp as we popped the flip-top, and the aroma was quite soft but still present . Sweet molasses and roasted malt accented by a rich, caramel-brown body. The tatse was  nice hazelnut mixed with dark chocolate often found in Belgian browns(at least for me) and the bitterness was barely noticeable, as was the abv,which sits at about 8 percent.


I have to say this is one of my favorites to date, and we drank two, though I could have drunk more if given the opportunity. I've said it previously and I will say it again:

I am not a huge fan of beers that exceed that 6.5-7 percent abv, but this was definitely an exception to that and I'd highly suggest trying this beer at least a few times.

Price: about €2,95
