Troeg’s Brewery Company Dreamweaver Wheat Beer – A Beer For the Dog Days of Summer!
Spring’s here!! Even though it hasn’t felt like Spring the last couple of weeks, it’s May 17th and summer’s just around the corner…I hope!
Now’s a good time to start sampling and selecting some favorite summertime style microbrews and craft beers to enjoy during the upcoming sweltering hot months. My wife was kind enough to bring home a local Pennsylvania microbrew from our friends at Troegs Independent Craft Brewery out of Harrisburg, PA. This microbrew is none other than Troeg’s Dreamweaver Wheat Beer one I’ve somehow never tried before).
Anyway, I wasted no time in cracking open the 12 ounce chilled bottle and poured Dreamweaver Wheat agressively into my 14 ounce pilsner glass which just happened to be the only clean beer sampling vessel in the cupboard at the time.
Gifts For Beer Lovers – Some Suggestions
One of the best possible gifts for beer lovers is a membership of a beer of the month club.
What is so good about a gift like this? Let’s look at some of the benefits for the beer lover (or the person you are getting the gift for).
First, with a beer of the month club membership, every month they will have the chance to taste new beers, usually from microbreweries. These beers are hard to find, boutique style beers which have been selected for their quality. This is a great way for a beer lover to discover superior new beers and ales which suit their taste. Rather than taking a chance with some new beers from a store, they will get beers which have been chosen by beer experts as being top quality and great drinking.
Beer Making In Belgium Has Its Origins In The Middle Ages
Belgium beer is one of the most varied collections of beer in the world. Beer making in Belgium has its origins in the Middle Ages when monasteries produced beer. Belgian beer often has a higher alcohol content than other beers. This is due to a law that prohibited the sale of spirits in pubs, causing them to make beer with higher alcohol content so they would no longer be classified as spirits. The law was lifted in 1983; however, many breweries still produce beer with an alcohol content between 6% – 8%.
Beer experts have a high esteem for Belgian beer. There are 125 breweries that produce about 500 different types of standard beer.
