Raha & Sons Ugly Pug Black Lager

Black Lager

This beer is one I first ran into back in October at the Galveston beer festival, I had been hesitant to purchase this beer in the store due to the fact that it is a Texas beer; unfortunately the Texas brewers tend to go heavy on the hops which for the most part I don’t care for, so when I found this one, I kew this would be a revisit and here we are. The taste profile of this one is of subtleties. You can taste a light creaminess followed by a slight burnt coffee or noodles, you know that smell that comes off the pot as you try and clean it. I know that at first glance this sounds bad but just give it a try. In addition to that, the effervescent nature of this beer is nonexistent at best, but that is typical of black lagers. Due to the unique flavor profile of this beer I did not find any food that went well with it but I am sure that there are foods out there that do. As a parting note, the beer is a quick drinker, too quick. Enjoy!

( side note ) It took me so dang long to do this review that I am sick of this beer, for whatever reason to just took so long to get this done it has cursed me from the beginning of the year, damn this beer. I was so tired of this beer you done even get a PIC

Beer of the year

And the winner is, Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!

And hers why. Pabst Blue Ribbon was a dud back in the day and now just like Lone Star beer it has pulled itself up by the boot straps to sit proudly on your grocers cooler shelve. In addition to that the beer was good as a standalone and with food as well an so as a result, that is why PBR has made the belated beer of the year for 2010. So, sorry that it has taken so long to bring it to you.
