Pint Night 05/16/07 Pilsner Urquell

Description from www.pilsnerurquell.com:
The flavor of Pilsner urquell begins with the intense taste of the Saaz hops, which blends with the malty sweetness of the barley to produce a harmonious bitterness and creamy body.

Its unique taste has meant Pilsner Urquell has both now and in the past, scooped a plethora of top international awards, and is consistently rated by critics as one of the world's very finest brews.

Pint Night 05/02/07 Kentucky Ale

Description from www.kentuckyale.com:
Kentucky Ale™
Kentucky Ale is a marriage between two classic beer styles, Irish Red Ale and English Pale Ale. Light copper in color, the unique body and character of Kentucky Ale is heavily influenced by the water, drawn from aquifers in the limestone rock underlying the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky.

The opaque blackness and beige-colored
foam mousse of Chambly Noire belie its light,
refreshing body and clean, long finish,
featuring hints of roasted coffee beans, toast
and toffee.
We recommend pairing it with grilled salmon,
steak or tuna au poivre, smoked meats,
coffee-crusted rack of lamb, or chocolate
espresso flan.
