Sam Adams Sample B Dunkelweizen

Not all that long ago, Sam Adams had a little competition of their own to determine what the next beer in the regular lineup would be.  It was between an Irish Red Ale and a Dunkelweizen.  We all know that the Sam Adams Irish Red was the winner as it’s out on liquor store shelves everywhere, and pretty good I might add.

However, the Dunkelweizen, which I managed to get a bottle of last week, is pretty good.  Personally, I wish they went with this one.  Too few breweries brew good German style beers.  This one was a good one.  While I can’t really write a good review as I think I had it too cold, it was a very nice beer and I am not normally a fan of wheat beers.  I like a good German style beer.  This one hit the spot last night.   It was the obvious underdog in the competition, but it was a worthy competitor, in my opinion.

Anyway, here’s to hoping they brew it again.  It was good.  Here’s also to hoping that more breweries brew German style beers (with the exception of the Hefeweizen as I think it’s brewed a bit too much).

Spin Cookie

A friend of mine (and former student employee) has started a blog called Spin Cookie.  He’ll be mostly writing about video games, both old and new.  I am specifically interested in his Wii game reviews.  It looks to be a good site.  He spun the game reviews off his former blog, Boxed Lunch Comics.
