I have been a fair bit lazy with the updates lately but there have have been a few things going on I couldn’t avoid. But I have come back with a vengeance with a beer that does just hit you for six it gives you a king hit to the face.

I have heard about the Grand Ridge Moonshine for a while but just had not got around to tasting it so when I had the opportunity last night I grabbed it. The beer itself it a dark scotch ale which packs a mean 8.5% alcohol, and unlike other high strength beers I have tasted you can really taste it here.

The beer has a strong ale flavor which reminded me much of a homebrew I made a few years back. It is of a very dark choclity color and a multitude of malty caramel flovors hit you when you consume this almost syrup! It has a nice creamy head which you would expect from any dark ale, and it also can pack more of a punch if you drink more than you should in the one night.

The makers of this beer from Grand Ridge are very proud of this beer which has won numerous awards at various beer festivals around the world, they even suggest that we use the moonshine as a marinade (I will have to get back to that later).

The amazing thing I found out later is that the moonshine isn’t even the big daddy of ales at Grand Ridge, they have a beer call the Supershine which has an alcohol content of 11%…. nice!

I had to overall give a thumbs up to the moonshine, I just wouldn’t advise you drink it all night..
