RE: APA...

It threw me off because I never see them called "American Pale Ales" ... but googling a few examples it was obvious that they're just Pale Ales from America. Duh!

Idk used to be the hops were American maybe.

My translation is "less hoppy than an IPA".

IPAs and variants really popular that you can get them from small supermarkets vs a bottle store or larger supermarket.

Options a bit limited at my local.

A few years ago over here IPAs were everywhere and driving other things off the shelfs. Seems like it's not as bad anymore.

Giving it a shot.

Pours with quite a frothy head. While not perfect this brand us on beer advocate.


Poor photo lighting was meh. Looks like a lager. I suppose that's the pale part of the APA

Vastly exceeded expectations and enjoyed it more than some of the more expensive beers from the other night at double the price.

Mild GoP taste, easy to drink what more does one need?

Probably a 3.75/5 but for the price one could round it up to a 4/5.

Early Morning Tug, a Milk Stout by Seminar Brewing in Florence, SC. 5.6% ABV - not many ratings on Beer Advocate. Definitely coffee, but not too much - if I was a coffee fan I think I'd love this. As it is, pretty good.

Lincoln's Gift Oyster Stout

"Union General William Tecumseh Sherman torched most of the Confederate South on his 1864 March to the Sea, but his swath of destruction met its end when he came upon the lovely city of Savannah, GA. Overcome by its beauty and bounty, tough old Sherman presented an unscathed Savannah to President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift.

Service Brewing Co. honors the 16th president of these United States with a beer based on one of Lincoln’s other favorite gifts—the kind that come from the sea. Lincoln’s Gift is a sweet stout brewed with locally harvested May River oysters, giving this traditional dark beer a slightly briny character."

5.5% ABV from Savannah, Georgia. 89/100 Very Good (3.99/5) on Beer Advocate.

It tastes just fine and nothing strange... but I can't stop thinking of the Oysters. I wonder what I'd think of it if I didn't know.

I saw an oyster beer here at 12%. Passed in it seafood flavoured beer bleah.

I have them pull mixed six packs for me here (their choices). I doubt it would have been chosen if I had been picking myself :). I was just glad it didn't taste like sea food as far as I could tell!
