Believe it or not: Bizarre beers

Abstract:
Step right up ladies and gentlemen and prepare yourself for the strangest and most obscure elixirs in town. Think your beer tastes a little bland? How about adding a little Antarctic water to freshen the brew? Wish wine could resemble bug juice? We have just the thing....

This should definitely become a regular feature!

I'm all about spreading the beer-love, especially since small brewers are taking off in the US! Getting more people involved in trying beer, developing tastes for beer, and appreciating this awesome beer scene that's developing can only be a good thing in my opinion!

It has brilliant clarity with a slightly amber color, a nice head but with slightly coarse bubbles. Decent head retention as I made it through the pour. Sweet, clove-like spicy phenol aroma, some maltiness and caramel notes in the nose. Considerable sweetness on the tongue that lingers, more clove and phenol, some maltiness and caramel and very little hop bitterness.

yay Red & Black for finally having a good article about good beer! It's been a long time coming. I hope this becomes a regular feature. UGA students will be better for being exposed to great beer! If you need a correspondent out west, I know a recent UGA alum that happens to be a brewer in Denver and beer enthusiast!

Colorado is a mecca for microbrewing- I'll be there next week. Wish I was still in Athens as a student now that Terrapin has it's own brewery in town now. I'm now in ATL and live about a mile from Sweetwater, so the Friday brewery tour/happy hour is a must-do and is probably one of the best happy hours in the city.
