Review: Draught by Guinness

Guinness Draught is simply delicious, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. If you like the smooth taste of a hearty beer that has a hint of chocolaty goodness, don’t miss out on this. The Draught is definitely different that the Extra Stout that you may find beside it at your super markets, this one has a marble and nitrogen pumped into it to give you that smooth taste. Some may say that this beer taste flat due to the lack of hoppiness, so be aware of that going in. It doesn’t bother me and that’s why I love it so much.

Beer Verdict:

• Brewery - Guinness
• Beer - Draught
• Rating - ★★★★ 1/2

Review: Haywire Hefeweizen by Pyramid Breweries

Another first for me here. Reviewing beer is something new to me — I usually just drink it. Well, Haywire Hefeweizen is what I would call a standard microbrew. It’s the one I usually introduce folks to who haven’t tried out microbrews before. It’s not over hoppy, and the brew is mild and delicious. With the required twist of lemon, it rounds out the drink.

I invite all newcomers to microbrews to start off with this, and it’s fitting that this is the first microbrew I reviewed. Also, on a side note — don’t knock this beer because of it’s stupid name (Haywire). They just only added that recently, I’m used to calling it a Pyramid Hef. Cheers!

Beer Verdict:

• Brewery - Pyramid Breweries
• Beer - Haywire Hefeweizen
