Perfect with Charcuterie. Both of these beers poured a hazy yellow. The Tank had huge flavors of citrus, while the DOgfish had more spices like sage and thyme, maybe. Both very nice summer drinking beers, even if they are 8.5% and 6.8%. Good thing wifey drove home.
My first time to Nantucket last summer and it rained for two days. Well, at least we got to go check out the Cisco Brewery. A great gem, I wish we could have been there for the live music and BBQ. They serve all of their beers on draft and I sampled five. (I wasn’t driving). I never liked the Grey Lady, The Whale’s Tale fresh out of the Keg was clearly an 89-90. The Sankaty Light is too light, but refreshing as was the Summer of Lager. I forget the last one. Can’t wait till next summer…if my friends invite me back.
From grilled, to Barbecued, to pasta, to stir fry, when I am in the Caribbean, I eat the Lobster every day. Sure, I love Maine lobster, being from Boston and all, but I just love to try the different ways the Caribbean lobster is made. On Parrot Cay, there were two restaurants, one run by an Italian chef and the other a a Pan Asian type. Both equally as good and to sit outside and eat a lobster, well, there’s not much better.
Wherever I am in the world, I try to drink local. On Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands, we drank the local brew, Turks Head Lager. The aroma is quite nice, a little hoppy. But, the flavor is just…eh. Yes, I have no other word for it. However, sitting on the beach with a cooler of ice cold lager, 84 degrees with family and friends, well, it doesn’t get much better.
