RowTow Beer Of The Day - 05/24/02 - Mendocino: Red Tail Ale

Here’s a good one for you pussy’s out there that can’t handle a dark or skunky beer. It has a great taste factor that is very distinguishable from other beers. I mean this shit goes down smooth, folks. “Red Tail Ale was first introduced on August 14th 1983, at the opening of the Mendocino Brewing Company’s Hopland Brewery - the first brewpub in California since Prohibition. In those early pre-distribution days, Red Tail Ale was only served at the brewpub by the pint glass or sold in 1.5-liter champagne magnums. That six-pack, weighing in at an impressive 42 pounds, quickly became known as “The world’s only 42lb 6-pack.”

RowTow Beer Of The Day - 05/13/02 - Dillon Dam Brewery: Extra Pale Ale

Brewed in Dillon, CO. Apparently they have a great little pub with video golf, pool, live entertainment, etc. Never been there, but I’ve had the pleasure of tasting this fine ale. If you ever stumble across a sixer of this brew in your local liquor store, pick it up. You won’t be sorry.

RowTow Beer Of The Day - 05/06/02 - Newcastle Brown Ale

Imported from England, “The One and Only,” Newcastle Brown Ale. It’s on my top ten list. The only complaint I’ve ever heard about this beer is that it’s a little too expensive. Bah, it’s a great beer and worth every penny.
