Great Cheap Beer


For those of you in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Stop into the Coralville New Pioneer Coop and pick up a 12pack of Schell's FireBrick Amber Lager, $9.99. It's a great all malt Vienna-Style Amber Lager. It has a pleasant maltiness with subtle sweetness and a light hoppy finish. Run out now and get some. It's hidden back by the cheese case. Might also be available at the Iowa City location.

Another Great German Beer


Happy to join the Blog world and hope my additions will be helpful.
Had a new beer a couple weeks ago,
Schneider "Aventinus." Dark-ruby color. This beer has a thick and "persistant" head. This is a very intense wheat doppelbock with a slight cider nose, fresh with a hint of caramel. It finishes in a rich soft and lightly bitter impression. Wheat doppelbock 8.2 % vol. alc. Original gravity 18.5% $14.99 (4-16.9 oz). It was a great birthday present!
