And So, in 2011...

Prophets have spoken on this era. We are destined for greatness. The beer we consume will empower us to levels only experience by Gods. (These statements all make more sense and are more believable if you are drunk.)


With that being said, we are now prepared for change. BrewReviewsMIA will drink more beer, write more absurdities, and avoid more DUI charges. TheSickness will not get healthier, only sicker. TheBraveLittleToaster will get braver and toastier.

Get ready.

Be Prepared.

The Brave Little Toaster presents: Odd news in the world of Beer

All that for just one beer, yep!

Just how good is a good beer? Remember the popular slogan for Klondike bars? What would you do for a Klondike bar? Well the man in the following news story proved just what he would do for a great brew. Enjoy. I just wonder which beer was it?

BAYOU GEORGE, Fla. – Authorities in the Florida Panhandle say they arrested a convenience store shoplifter who demanded to drink the 12-ounce beer he had stolen before being taken into custody.
The Bay County Sheriff's office says the man told the deputy he had recently lost his job of 13 years and wanted to drink beer. The man became combative when the deputy wouldn't let him finish it.
George R. Linthicum II was charged Wednesday with shoplifting, battery, possession of marijuana not more than 20 grams and smuggling contraband into a detention facility.
Bay County Jail officials said Thursday that Linthicum II was in jail and did not yet have an attorney.

A Very Special Birthday Post...

I'd like to take this post and wish all our readers to send their warmest, sincerest birthday greetings to our resident badass/Brew Master/ Lover of all things pink, TheBraveLittleToaster. His birthday was yesterday, and he turned 24. It seems like just yesterday he was wearing his training bra and stealing cases of Miller Lite from older family members. TBLT, I love you like a big brother that I never had, who frequently tries to sexually molest me. I truly hope your birthday week kicks some serious ass, and with cinco de mayo coming up, I'm sure it won't be too long before I receive a late night phone call asking me to bail you out or a call from the hospital asking me for a piece of my liver to revive you. In either case, I'll be ready and willing to pick you up, pay your bail, or donate my organs (just not my penis). You're the best, broskii.

To all the readers, I'm terribly sorry things have not been updated as frequently. Life has taken over the focus of our brilliantly lazy writers. We love you all dearly, and will eventually get around to posting our witty, perverse, informative beer reviews. Til then, keep spreading the word about our site, like TBLT spreads his incurable case of herpes (joke).

TBLT + TS = PG

Bring on the Pint's

ST. Patty's Day, brings out the Irish in us all

St. Patty's day is here and who the hell Care's if this year it's on a Wednesday, the pint's will still be poured, the pubs will be crowded and even the non Irish (like my myself) will celebrate.

This St. Patrick's day The Brave Little Toaster invites you to try two great refreshing Irish beers.


First up Guinness Draught.
Why should I have an ice cold Guinness this St. Patty's day?

The answer is quit simple, Guinness rocks!!! Guinness gives you a dark but milky pour that will make your lips water. This draught has a milky smooth taste from start to end, that goes great with a hearty meal as well as with a full bodied cigar. Are you not a fan of dark beers? Well you gotta try this one, it's not your average dark beer, it's thick foamy head (If poured correctly) is the perfect start to a great night.


Quick Fact - The perfect pour for a Guinness pint should take 119.50 seconds. It is the result of a double pour at a 45 degree angle. The result is a creamy head on a dark smooth beer that should be served at 6 degrees Celsius.


Guinness with a great twist. Not much of a beer drinker? Do you prefer shots? Then you have to try an Irish Car bomb, but be careful these sneak up on you after a few.


What's in an Irish Car bomb? Allow me to explain:

• 3/4 pint of Guinness
• 1/2 Shot Bailey's Irish Cream
• 1/2 Shot Jameson Irish Whiskey

Now I have all the things I need, what the hell do I do with them? I'm getting there dammit.

Add the Bailey's and the Jameson to a shot glass layering the Bailey's on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass 3/4 of the way and let it settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug fast. Enjoy, and get ready to call a cab.


Next up to bat from the brewers of Guinness comes Smithwick's.

OH, if its brewed by Guinness it must taste like a Guinness, right? Nope not at all. Smithwicks delivers a smooth ale taste with an amber color. It's a bit bitter but just the perfect amount and that bitterness disappears fast, but you will appreciate the fact that it was there to start with. Try one today and you will see what I mean. The Brave Little Toaster will never steer you wrong.



Quick fact - Smithwicks Irish Ale is inspired by John Smithwick's original recipe and its Ireland's oldest ale.



So no matter what you choose to drink, cheer's or how they say in Ireland, Slainte!!!

St. Patty's Day -- Drink what the Irish Drink!!!

Celebrate St. Patty's Day Irish Style

As one of the most popular drinking holiday approaches the question again rises. What should I drink? BrewreviewsMIA will bring to you some of the most popular Irish beers imported to the U.S.A today in the next couple of posts so that way you know exactly what to order when the bar keep yells across the crowded pub "What will it be?"

Happy 1000th Page View

Dark Heineken

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Heineken Dark
• Origin: Holland
• Type: Dark Lager

Reviews

TheBraveLittleToaster:

• Taste: Like the original Heineken, it posses a strong first taste, but unlike the original Heineken it has a great suave finish. As a Latin I can't help but notice the strong smell it has and how that smell resembles a Malta. This brew has a great dry roasted coffee like finish.
• Color: Like Coca-Cola, or again a Malta
• Density: Dense
• Bottle Appearance: This bottle has an aged antique look to it. This brew is not that popular (Yet) nor do you see it commonly at your local bar and even if you find it you'd think it's a Heineken that has been in the sun for a couple of years and the label and bottle turned from green to brown.
• Opinion: With a great and very respected name to live up to this beer past the test. This is a great dark beer. I'm sure as it becomes more available at bars, the number of fans will grow fast and steadily. This beer had big shoes to fill and it filled them well.
• Recommended For: Dark beer fans. Also if you need Heineken to prove to you like they did to me that they can go Dark, unlike Vanilla Ice.
