43/100) Grimms Brothers Brewhouse 2

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Fearless Youth, Little Red Cap, Master Thief

Once again upon a time, simple tales were woven into strands of the little one's red night caps. After tucking them away, the fearless youth and friends called for another round to finish up their evening. While the kingdom enjoyed their dunkels, porters and alts, a master thief stole upon them making off with their hearts and taste buds. The youth through it all, shuddered not, and in the morning, sought the blessing of the Queen before setting out on the most epic of adventures.

Fearless Youth) Or the tale of the boy who set out to learn how to shudder. This boy didn't understand fear. A dark dank castle with haunted skeletons and possessed cats couldn't even get him to shiver. This dunkel (or dark) lager is nothing to fear either, even if you're used to the brighter beers. It is light bodied and easy to drink. ☆☆☆☆

Little Red Cap) "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into the woods by myself if mother tells me not to." Yes, little red cap is the tale of little red riding hood. Perhaps instead of talking to strangers and getting yourself eaten by a wolf, you should make this exquisite alt (or old style ale) a simple night cap and get some rest. Why you ask? "All the better to sleep well with." as the wolf in grandma's clothing might have answered. ☆☆☆☆


Master Thief) unlike what you'd expect, he wasn't an expert with years of experience behind his craft. More of a Lupin or Robin Hood without lofty ideals, this youthful thief used trickery and misdirection to steal his way out of any bind. Speaking of which, this masterful porter will leave you tongue tied. I try and keep a bottle around at all times because it is one of my favorite beers. ☆☆☆☆☆
