Copper Door Craft Beer Tasting

3 Dec

Earlier this week I received an invite to The Copper Door for their Craft Beer Tasting Media Preview. I accepted immediately and called my good friend and fellow beer connoisseur Drew for a night of food and beer. We arrived at The Copper Door right on time, ready to send our taste buds into a frenzy.

Beers in order of appearance:

1. Belgian Maes Pils: 2nd selling pil in Belgium above Stella. (not pictured)

2. Blanche De Bruxelles: similar to Blue Moon and oh so delicious.

3. Allagash White: U.S. interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. North Coast PranQster: “local” Belgian Style Golden Ale. I use the term local loosely as it is still a 10 hour drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. La Fin du Monde: “The End of the World” en francais. Beautiful triple-style Golden Ale from Quebec, Canada.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Allagash Black: Belgian style stout. I am not usually a fan of dark beers but I really enjoyed the darker roast on this brew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Chimay Blue: Belgian Trappist beer served in 750 ml bottles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Fruli: Belgian fruit beer and my favorite by far. Tasted of strawberries, coriander and orange peel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Delirium Noel: Belgian beer. At this point I had stopped writing and was focusing on my tastings :)
