<p><strong>To all our readers and home brewers:</strong> if you have tried to replicate the Trader Joe&#8217;s Vintage ale at home and have had pretty good success, please post a comment below with the recipe, or shoot us an email at TheSofaKing@sofakingdrunk.com.</p>
<p>The TJ&#8217;s Vintage Ale is one of the best beers that we have ever had and would love to try and make it ourselves.  We have been scouring the internet trying to find a decent clone recipe that looks legit but keep coming up empty handed.  Help us out this holiday season and post a clone recipe of the Trader Joe&#8217;s Vintage Ale below.</p>
<p>Cheers, and Happy Holidays!!!</p>

<p><strong>Difficulty to Brew</strong><br />
The True Oktoberfest beer kit was a lot of fun to brew, like all the others.  The kit comes with everything you need to make a 5 gallon batch of beer. The Kit contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unhopped Amber Malt Extract (1 can)</li>
<li>Light Dried Malt Extract (2 lbs)</li>
<li>Melanoidin Grain (8 oz)</li>
<li>Hop Pellets (2 oz)</li>
<li>Ale Yeast (1 pack)</li>
<li>Grain Steeping Bag</li>
<li>Priming Sugar (5 oz)</li>
<li>Bottle Caps</li>
<li>Instructions</li>
</ul>
<p>Pretty much all the of the True Brew beer ingredient kits seem to be similar in how difficult they are to brew. They are all very manageable kits even though you have more ingredients to deal with than some other home brewing kits that are on the market. The True Brew Instructions are perfect and easy to follow. This kit was fun to do because it was not too difficult to manage, but still fun to cook.</p>
<p><strong>Taste and Outcome</strong><br />
The beer only needed to stay in the fermenter for a week, and didn&#8217;t need to go through a secondary fermentation.  We tested the gravity of the beer and it was right in the range that it should be (stated by the instructions), so we bottled the beer and gave it another week to sit in the bottles.</p>
<p>Our first glass of the True Brew Oktoberfest looked and smelled great. The beer was slightly cloudier than we were expecting, but it had a great aroma.  The beer had a wonderful bouquet with very mild hints of citrus, giving it that authentic German feel that you would expect in an Oktoberfest beer.</p>
<p>The taste was just as good as the smell. The color, smell and taste of the beer all resembled the True Brew Belgian Ale Kit that we previously brewed by <a title="Crosby and Baker" href="http://crosby-barker.com" target="_blank">Crosby and Baker</a>.  The flavor was well achieved, and what you would be looking for in a typical German Oktoberfest.  The color of the beer color was a bit murky, almost like a hefeweizen, and the flavor was a lot like the Belgian Ale, but a bit more mild.  There wasn&#8217;t as strong of a citrus flavor to this beer as compared to the Belgian Ale.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
This kit is definitely worth trying! The Oktoberfest Beer Kit was just as fun to brew as any of the other True Brew kits, and you get an amazing tasting beer.  This beer has a very mild and smooth flavor with hints of citrus, making it an excellent choice to pair with food! We highly recommend this kit for fans of Oktoberfest beers, or Belgian Ales.</p>
<p>Stay tuned, we will be brewing more True Brew Beer kits and posting reviews for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Brutul Lagerhead Turtle" href="http://www.brutul.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2294" title="Brutul Turtle black and Tan" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brutul-Turtle-black-and-Tan-209x300.jpg" alt="Brutul Turtle black and Tan" width="204" height="292" /></a>Today we got our hands on Brütül Lagerhead Turtle and were excited to test it out on one of our favorite drinks with it, a Black and Tan!</p>
<p>Right away we noticed how useful the Turtle was because it had a bottle opener on it.  We didn&#8217;t need to have a bottle opener and a bent spoon to make our black and tans, one tool does it all now.</p>
<p>Next we liked the ease of being able to just throw the Turtle on top of a glass and not have to worry about holding a spoon in place while pouring the beer over it. The turtle has 4 feet which grab the glass very easily and hold it in place perfectly as you pour your drink.  This little tool, even though seems like a very simple and almost pointless design compared to a bent spoon, actually is pretty cool and very handy. It makes it easy, especially for beginners to pour their own Black and Tans, or whatever mixture they may want to float on top of each other. And as mentioned above, its got a bottle opener on it, so you are killing two birds with one stone and gets that drink to your mouth faster!</p>
<p><a title="Turtle Bottle Opener" href="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brutul-Turtle-bottle-opener.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-2279];player=img;" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2296" title="Brutul Turtle bottle opener" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brutul-Turtle-bottle-opener-300x207.jpg" alt="Brutul Turtle bottle opener" width="204" height="140" /></a>The only complaint that we have about the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle is that you cannot change the height that it is sitting on the glass.  The Turtle will always be sitting at a fixed height on the top of the glass.  With a bent spoon, you are able to reach the spoon down into the glass a little lower to hover just above the liquid already in it, allowing for a shorter fall of the second liquid that you are pouring in, which gives you a better separation in your glass.  This is a minor inconvenience, because the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle still allows for great floating of different liquids. So on the scale of 0-5, we give the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle, 4 out of 5!</p>
<p><a title="Brutul Turtle -  Black and Tan" href="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brutul-Turtle-black-and-Tan_1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-2279];player=img;" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2295" title="Brutul Turtle black and Tan_1" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brutul-Turtle-black-and-Tan_1-204x300.jpg" alt="Brutul Turtle black and Tan_1" width="204" height="300" /></a>Every bar should be stocked with a classy looking Brütül Lagerhead Turtle.  Get rid of that dirty-old, trashy looking bent spoon that you have lying around.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Brew House Red Ale All Grain Kit" href="http://crosby-baker.com/index.php/beer-ingredient-kits/brew-house-all-grain-beer-kits.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2271" title="Brew House_Red Ale_All Grain Kit_Review" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brew-House_Red-Ale_All-Grain-Kit_Review-271x300.png" alt="Brew House_Red Ale_All Grain Kit_Review" width="271" height="300" /></a>We just cracked open a bottle of <a title="Crosby and Baker" href="http://crosby-baker.com/index.php/home/internal/" target="_blank">Crosby &amp; Baker&#8217;s</a> Red Ale, which was a <a title="Brew House All Grain Kits" href="http://crosby-baker.com/index.php/beer-ingredient-kits/brew-house-all-grain-beer-kits.html" target="_blank"><strong>Brew House All Grain Kit</strong></a>.  We were excited to brew an all grain kit, but to our surprise, there was no grain at all in this kit. The name is a little deceptive but after reading about the kit we found that it was an all grain made beer kit, but pretty much all the work is already done for you. No boiling on the stove and making the wort, its already made for you and sealed in a plastic bag. The kit consists of a huge plastic bag with basically the wort already made for you, yeast and priming sugar.  We have never seen a kit like this so we were eager to test it out!</p>
<p><strong>Difficulty to brew</strong><br />
This was our first time trying one the the Brew House All Grain kits, All you need for the True Brew Beer Kits is your brewing equipment, bottles to put the beer in once it is done and bottle caps. So if you want a simple beer brewing kit, these are the home brew kits for you.  It doesn&#8217;t get easier than this!  All you need to do is pour the pre-made wort into your sanitized fermenting bucket, fill the rest up with water to the 5 gallon mark, pitch the yeast and you are done!  No boiling ingredients, or anything.  Just put it in the bucket and wait.  This beer kit will need about 10-14 days in a secondary fermenter though.  So it does take a bit longer until the beer is complete than some of the other kits. After 4 days in the primary fermenter, then 10 in the secondary   fermenter (carboy), then another week in the bottles it was time to try   the next batch of beer!  We couldn&#8217;t wait to try this one.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Brew House Red Ale All Grain Kit Contents" href="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brew-House-Red-Ale-All-Grain-Kit-Contents.JPG" rel="shadowbox[post-2245];player=img;" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2272" title="Brew House Red Ale All Grain Kit Contents" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Brew-House-Red-Ale-All-Grain-Kit-Contents-300x260.jpg" alt="Brew House Red Ale All Grain Kit Contents" width="271" height="235" /></a>Taste and Outcome</strong><br />
First pour into a the glass we could tell this was going to be a good beer.  The color was a perfect brownish red color and the beer was nice and clear from being in the secondary fermenter for a couple weeks.  The head on the beer was perfect as well, just the right amount of carbonation.  And the flavor of this beer topped everything else.  Honestly we weren&#8217;t sure what to expect with this kit being so easy to make, but this beer is excellent!  The Brew House Red Ale all Grain Kit is a smooth tasting, well balanced  Red Ale.  We would compare it mostly to something of a cross between a Killian&#8217;s Irish Red, and a Fire Stone Double Barrel Ale.  As described by Crosby &amp; Baker, this kit is “Stylistically positioned between a German Alt beer and Oktoberfest, our  red ale is copper red in color. It has a pronounced crisp, malty  character, with delicate hop bitterness and a pleasing floral aroma.  Blessed with all of these thirst quenching attributes, this beer is sure to                              please!&#8221;</p>

These kits are truly unique in the fact that almost everything is done for you, so it makes it very easy to get good quality homemade beer!  Although you don&#8217;t feel like you get the satisfaction of actually brewing the beer, because all you do is place the ingredients into some buckets for a few weeks, it was still fun to do and atleast you get quality beer with very little work.   All in all this was an amazing tasting beer, especially for how easy it was to make.  Having the wort already made, left us a little disappointed in the fact that it didn&#8217;t feel like we actually made the beer. But the outcome and flavor got us past that real fast.  We would highly recommend these kits for home brewing beginners to get  an idea of how the brew process works. Or if you just don&#8217;t enjoy cooking your own wort, but still want high quality beer, these kits are for you!  This kit makes home brewing very  easy!  Pick one up, and let us know what you thought about it!</p>
<p><em>Stay tuned, we will be brewing more True Brew Beer kits and posting reviews for them.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="True Brew ingredient kits" href="http://crosby-baker.com/index.php/beer-ingredient-kits/true-brew-beer-ingredient-kits.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2237" title="True Brew Belgian Ale Review" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/True-Brew-Belgian-Ale-Review-299x300.jpg" alt="True Brew Belgian Ale Review" width="299" height="300" /></a>We just finished and got to try our latest brew.  This home brew kit came from <a title="Trew Brew Beer Kits" href="http://crosby-baker.com/" target="_blank">True Brew by Crosby &amp; Baker</a>, and it was a<strong> Belgian Ale</strong>.  This was our first time brewing a Tue Brew Beer Kit, and we were totally impressed!!  The Kit was a little bit more extensive and fun to brew than a Cooper&#8217;s Home brew, but it was still easy to manage.  These kits are great for any level of brewer, from beginner to advanced.</p>
<p><strong>Difficulty to brew</strong><br />
The True Brew Belgian Ale was a lot of fun to brew.  The kit comes with everything you need to make a batch of beer.  It even comes with bottle caps!  That was a huge plus, we didn&#8217;t have to make an extra trip out to get some caps. All you need for the True Brew Beer Kits is your brewing equipment and bottles to put the beer in once it is done.  As mentioned above, the kits are bit more extensive than the Coopers home brewing kits, because you are putting more than just the liquid malt extract and sugar into a pot of boiling water.  This kit comes with a couple different kinds of malt extract, grain, rock sugar, and hops, all which need to be boiled for specific times. Although there is a little bit more to manage, this kit is not difficult to complete. The True Brew Instructions are perfect and easy to follow. This is the perfect type of home brewing kit, because is fun to do and it is not too easy, so it feels more authentic and satisfying when completed.</p>
<p><strong>Taste and Outcome</strong><br />
The beer only needed to stay in the fermenter for a week, and when we bottled it, it looked and smelled great.  We took the reading after primary fermentation and the alcohol level was perfect (just under 6%).  So we bottled the beer and let it sit for another 10 days.</p>
<p>The first pour looked great.  The beer was perfectly carbonated, and had a great head on it. The color of the beer resembles a Hefenweizen.  It had that yellowish-wheat color and was a bit cloudy, unable to see through.</p>
<p>The taste lived up to everything else in this kit.  As described by True Brew, this kit is &#8220;a strong and spicy golden ale made with real Belgian Candy Sugar,  balanced with Czech and Slovenian hops.&#8221;  The beer has some amazing spice flavors in it, coupled with a slight citrus flavor.  If we were to compare the True Brew Belgian Ale to a beer it resembles a Duvel, with a slight Blue Moon flavoring and look.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion<br />
</strong>Everything about this Kit was great and just what you want in a Home Brewing Kit.  The kit was fun to do because it was a little challenging with all the ingredients you need to add, but it was still easy to manage because the instructions are easy to follow.  The taste and quality of the beer was great and we will be drinking and making the the True Brew Belgian Ale Kit again very soon!  Highly recommended kit for fans of Belgian Ales, this kit offers an authentic taste and look of a true Belgian Ale.</p>
<p><em>Stay tuned, we will be brewing more True Brew Beer kits and posting reviews for them. </em></p>

<p>The Cooper&#8217;s Home Brew <a title="Mexican Cerveza Home Brew Kit" href="http://www.makebeer.net/item.asp?idProduct=42&amp;idCategory=112&amp;idSubCategory=0" target="_blank">Mexican Cervaza Kit</a> is the second home brew kit that we have tried from the Coopers home brewing company&#8230; and again we were more than impressed with outcome of the beer!</p>
<p>The <a title="Mexican Cerveza Home Brew Kit" href="http://www.makebeer.net/item.asp?idProduct=42&amp;idCategory=112&amp;idSubCategory=0" target="_blank">Mexican Cerveza Beer Kit Package</a> give you everything you need to get a batch of beer made for under $30!  This kit came with the Mexican Cerveza brew mix, Brew Enhanser 2, fermenting yeast, and the carbonating drop used when bottling.  Everything that you will need to get 5-gallon batch of beer made comes in this kit, for under $30!  If you&#8217;re a first timer to home brewing, these kits are great because the give you everything you need, and they come with detailed instructions on how to brew your beer.  And if you&#8217;re not new to home brewing these kits are still awesome to use because they are easy, and give you great quality beer!</p>
<p><strong>Difficulty to brew</strong><br />
The Coopers Mexican Cervesa was incredibly easy and fun to brew.  All you need to do is basically add all ingredients together in a pot with some water and boil. Then cool and add to your fermenter and pitch the yeast.  After about a week in the fermenter its time to bottle!  The Coopers <a title="Carbonation Drops" href="http://www.makebeer.net/item.asp?idProduct=31&amp;idCategory=110&amp;idSubCategory=0" target="_blank">Carbonation Drops</a> make it very easy to make sure all of your beers have the perfect and consistent amount of carbonation in every bottle.  After all the beer is bottled, it sits for another couple weeks, then its tasting time!  This process is more or less the same for all the Cooper&#8217;s Home Brew Kits. So it easy to do, and so far both of the kits that we have brewed have been delicious!</p>
<p><strong>Taste and Outcome</strong><br />
Again, we were a little hesitant about the outcome of this beer.  It was so easy to make, and when bottling it, it didn&#8217;t really smell like a Mexican Cerveza.  It just smelled more like a regular (pilsner) beer. After chilling a few bottles of beer in the fridge, and freezing a couple of mugs to pour the beer into, we were ready to try it!  The beer poured great, and was well carbonated, with a perfect head. So far everything was looking good.  The color was a little darker than your typical Mexican Cervesa, with shades of red.  It almost resembled a slight amber ale color.</p>
<p>After carbonating in the bottles for a couple weeks, the beer seemed to develop more of that Mexican Cerveza aroma.  The beer isn&#8217;t nearly as skunky smelling and tasting as a typical Mexican cerveza (like Corona for example), but you could still tell that it was a Mexican Cerveza. For us, this was a good thing.  Most Mexican beers are too skunky, causing people to put limes in them to mask their flavor. Coopers Cerveza on the other hand was a great tasting beer that definitely does not need any lime juice.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
It is safe to say that the Coopers Mexican Cerveza Kit is a decent tasting beer, and enjoyable.  The Cerveza Kit is a great way to go if you are a fan of Mexican Beers, but don&#8217;t like when they are too skunky tasting/smelling.  And if you aren&#8217;t a fan of your typical Meican Cerveza, we would still recommend that you try this one anyway.  Its seems like more of a cross between a Mexican Cerveza and a Pisner, than just a straight Mexican Cerveza. This is a great summertime beer to have ice cold on those hot days!</p>

<p>Whether or not you have home brewed before, Coopers makes it easy for beginners to experts to enjoy great tasting, quality beer!</p>
<p>Over the past couple weeks we had the privileged to brew our first batch of Cooper&#8217;s Irish Stout.  Cooper&#8217;s makes it incredibly easy to get a great tasting batch of beer made for a lot less money than what you would spend in the stores for the same type of beers. The <a title="Beer Kit Packages" href="http://www.makebeer.net/category.asp?idCategory=112" target="_blank">Beer Kit Packages</a> that Coopers offers give you everything you need to get a batch of beer made starting at under $30!</p>
<p>Another plus about <a title="Coopers Beer Kits" href="http://www.makebeer.net/category.asp?idCategory=104" target="_blank">Coopers Beer Kits</a> is that they come with the yeast needed for fermenting, and detailed instructions on how to brew your beer.</p>
<p><strong>Difficulty to brew</strong><br />
The Coopers Irish Stout was incredibly easy and fun to brew.  All you need to do is basically add all ingredients together in a pot with some water and boil. Then cool and add to your fermenter and pitch the yeast.  After about a week in the fermenter its time to bottle!  The Coopers <a title="Carbonation Drops" href="http://www.makebeer.net/item.asp?idProduct=31&amp;idCategory=110&amp;idSubCategory=0" target="_blank">Carbonation Drops</a> make it very easy to make sure all of your beers have the perfect and consistent amount of carbonation in every bottle.  After all the beer is bottled it sits for another couple weeks, then its tasting time!</p>
<p><strong><a title="Cooper's Irish Stout Beer" href="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/coopers_irish_Stout_beer.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-2178];player=img;" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2269" title="coopers_irish_Stout_beer" src="http://www.sofakingdrunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/coopers_irish_Stout_beer-243x300.jpg" alt="coopers_irish_Stout_beer" width="197" height="244" /></a>Taste and Outcome</strong><br />
We couldn&#8217;t wait to try the first bottle of our freshly brewed Irish Stout. We were a little skeptical at first on how good they would taste, just because it was so easy to brew.  &#8220;Something this easy can&#8217;t taste that good&#8221;, we were thinking.  When we cracked that first bottle open and poured it into a ice cold glass, it had the perfect color and consistency for a typical Irish stout! Not to mention we were amazed with the head that was on the beer when poured!  The look of the beer is exactly what you would expect to get when from your typical store bought Irish Stout.</p>
<p>The taste was also amazingly good! At first it is easy to compare it to a Guinness, with the heavy dark color and rich taste. But after having a few more sips, you can definitely start to notice some distinct characteristics with the Coopers Irish Stout. It seemed to have a bit more caramel flavor than a Guinness, and a little bit sweeter.  The Coopers Irish Stout also wasn&#8217;t as heavy as a Guinness, which makes it a little easier to drink.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
It is safe to say that the Coopers Irish Stout Kit definitely produces a true tasting Irish stout, and very enjoyable beer that you will like drinking.  Whether or not you are a fan of Irish Stouts, we would recommend that you give this beer a try.  It is not quite as heavy as your typical Irish stout, but still has amazing flavor and consistency.</p>
<p>After Seeing how good the Coopers Irish Stout Kit turned out, we can&#8217;t wait to try some of the other Home Beer Making Kits that Coopers has to offer.</p>

<p>At Flash&#8217;s Restaurant in Boston, MA, you can try their new extremely weird cocktail, a Bacon Rum Milkshake Cocktail. If you have had this, please post some comments below. We are dieing to know what people though about having pig in their cocktail!  Cheers!!!</p>
<p>From urbandaddy.com:</p>
<blockquote><p>There are those days when you just want something cold and sweet to  drink.</p>
<p>And then there are those days when you&#8217;d like it boozy as well. And in  milkshake form. With bacon.</p>
<p>All hail the arrival of the <em>Pigshake</em>, the new  bacon-and-ice-cream boozy mash-up, now available  off-menu at Flash&#8217;s.</p>
<p>We know—the thought of throwing some thick, ice-cold vanilla ice cream  and a handful of salty, crispy  smoked bacon chunks together in a blender (along with some bacon fat  and molasses to thicken the pot) seems  to violate some dinner-dessert-shake rule set long ago, probably by the  mystics who built Stonehenge.</p>
<p>But rules were meant to be broken, in this case by some rogue  bartender-warriors at Flash&#8217;s (who luckily  aren&#8217;t too familiar with Stonehenge).</p>
<p>These renegades combine all of the above with plenty of Captain Morgan  spiced rum, pour it into a chilled  wine glass, and finish the whole thing off with some maple syrup to  complete the sweet and savory frozen  concoction. It&#8217;s the kind of cold treat you&#8217;ll want to look to next  time you&#8217;re relaxing in the Back Bay,  with the sun burning high in the sky.</p>
<p>Your move, mudslide.</p>
