Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks for this post. I too loved Guinness and the really flavorful, non-carbonated beers. I thought Redbridge tasted like a cross between Budweiser and Sam - neither of which were my favorites.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks to you both for posting. I too miss funky, awesome local beer. It's great to have a small brewery we can support just by drinking fab beer again! > > I strongly disliked Bard's Tale because of the bitter aftertaste.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Yay! So nice to know I am not alone. Bard’s is the only thing I would classify as “real beer”. But then again, I’m an alcohol snob. My dad was a wine trader, so I only got the best as an education into my drinking. Both beer and wine. Bard’s lovers UNITE!!!
