The Beer of the Month from Town & Country Liquors was Murphy’s Red.\u00a0 Murphy’s Red had a light copper color with a smooth malt aroma and flavor from start to finish.\u00a0 It also had a subtle sweetness, fruitiness and hoppiness with a fine carbonation and head.\u00a0 Murphy’s Red would serve as an excellent entry-level beer for those who seek more flavorful brews but have yet to venture away from light beers.<\/p>\n
Jon brought an English Ale that he brewed back in September with his Dad.\u00a0 The beer was smooth, but lacked much hop flavor or aroma.\u00a0 The hops were all grown by Jon in 2008.\u00a0 The alpha acid was estimated at 2%, but may have been lower as they did not produce the bitterness or flavor expected.\u00a0 Jon brought his food dehydrator for Ryan to use to malt some barley.<\/p>\n
Ryan brought Chokecherry Port and Strawberry wine; both of which were very good.\u00a0 Ryan also brought some Cabernet Savignon and distributed it as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n
Jon brought some Spaten banners that he acquired from his brother Joel.\u00a0 Jon distributed the banners as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n
