Beer of the Week

The beer: People Power Oat Lager

Brewed by: Union Craft Brewing, Baltimore, Maryland

Description (from the website): "People Power Oat Lager pours a sumptuous, haze-kissed golden straw. Aroma of tangelo pith and a freshly mowed sweet-clover field. Bright and bracing bitterness, smoothed out by the subtly round and rapturous goût d’avoine (‘taste of oats’), with citrusy-fresh hops lending the lilting levity of a crisp, sunny autumn breeze."

Would I buy it again?: It says oat lager, which intrigued me, but in reality I don't really taste any oats. It's just a fairly hoppy lager, and the extra hops kind of ruins it for me. Not something I'd buy again.

Beer of the Week

The beer: Snow Pants Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by: Union Craft Brewing Company, Baltimore, Maryland

Description (from the website): "Snow Pants Oatmeal Stout is an 8% abv, full-bodied ale packed with flavor. This jet black beer warms the palate with the roasty chocolate flavors of rich dark malt complimented by a gentle, creamy body from a hefty dose of oats. A generous addition of Cascade & Columbus hops provides balance and a bit of a piney character to this tasty winter brew. Winter is here – Its Snow Pants season!"

Would I buy it again?: Probably, yes. This beer didn't blow me away, but I like oatmeal stouts, I liked this oatmeal stout, and I especially liked the name of this oatmeal stout. Snow Pants is a great name, and the main reason I bought it. And I'd get it again for the same reason.
