Over the last few days, I have tried two beers that are new to me. Though neither of the brewers are new to me.
Unibroue Blanche De Chambly
THIS beer is a white beer. For those that have some knowledge, but don’t know exactly, this is like Hoegaarden. Not quite as good, but still very delicious. White beer is usually opaque, even though it is very light in color.
Dogfish Head Punkin’ Ale
As the name would suggest, THIS beer is pumpkin flavored. It has a lot of spices to it, which are literally listed on the front label. These being brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. For the time of year, this is an EXCELLENT beer. I plan on picking up a lot more of this.

David Johnson and myself have tried about a half dozen Pumkin Ales this fall and Dogfish was the best.To my surpise the Blue Moon and the Michelob were the next best.

Michelob? Wow, that’s interesting. I should keep my eyes open for others. I wasn’t looking for a pumpkin ale, but it caught my eye when I was searching the cooler.

Blue Moon I blieve is a Coors product. To be truthful we didn’t find any pumkin ales we liked. They all had too much spice that covered up the pumkin flavor. The Michlob can only be found in the Holiday Ale and Lager Sampler that comes with two fine beer glasses localy.
