Bixby's Beer Blog

I have thought that it would be a good idea to have a blog where I capture some of the interesting beverages I have tasted. It is really too bad I did not start this about three years ago, as that is when I first embarked on my beer renaissance in a serious way. My purpose in starting this blog is mainly to capture some of the interesting beers I try. I suppose I could do this on RateBeer or BeerAdvocate, but hey, I have an account here and I am on BGG daily. I guess this will be the home for my new blog.

It is important to establish credibility in the first entry of any blog. I have just the beer to set the tone. So much for foreplay by talking about lesser beers, let's go straight to:



STANDARD INFORMATION
Beer: Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale
Style: Brown Ale
IBU: 30
Alcohol: 5.6%
Brewery: Rogue Ales
Website: http://www.rogue.com/
Rate Beer Says: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rogue-voodoo-doughnut-bacon-map...

MY THOUGHTS
Rating (0-5):
I quite enjoy this beer. I tend to lean heavily to ales instead of lagers anyway. This beer has an incredible fusion of smoke, bacon, and maple. All three flavours are prevalent without being over the top. To me, this is not just a novelty beer, but a beverage that will always have a place in my heart and beer fridge.

Game Pairing: The Castles of Burgundy
As you ferret out the elegant nuances of Castles of Burgundy you can experience the various flavours in this exquisite ale. Both should be savoured.


Cheers,
Bixby

Standard Disclaimer: I am not a beer judge, nor do I have a palate that is refined enough to tell you which type of hops were used in the making of a beer. I know very little about zymology. I am an average guy that likes to play boardgames and likes to drink beer. All you will get here is my opinion on what I like. That is all.

I really like Dead Guy Ale as well. To be honest, I quite enjoy most of the Rogue line up of beers. In 2010, my wife and I built a vacation around the idea of going to Newport, Oregon to visit the Brewery.

Dead Guy Ale is always my entry fee into the Bixby's Formula De League.

Hard for me to compare the two. I like them both for different reasons. I like to have "go to" beers that I consume on a regular basis and others that are more exotic that I break out for a treat.

Dead Guy Ale = "Go To" Beer
Bacon Maple Ale = "Exotic Awesomeness"

Yes. I think I can switch back now. I think Antonio knows that the BGG community does not endorse hate speech. Now back to beer...

Maestro - I humbly request that you consider including a game pairing with each entry. For the life of me, I cannot figure out which game to play while drinking this beer.

Ok, "bacon maple" intrigues me, but did they really need to make the bottle look like 750ml of Pepto?
