The May Beer of The Month: Foolproof's La Ferme Urbaine

published by John on Thu, 05/16/2013 - 7:26pm

When we featured an interview with Foolproof's Nick Garrison a few months back, little did we know how quickly this Pawtucket microbrewery would take off. Their flagship "Backyahd" IPA is a staple in Rhode Island bars and restaurants. They are now expanding into Massachusetts and beyond, and soon to a fine beer and wine purveyor near you.

The leaves have changed color, falling gracefully to blanket our once green lawns, and it's a reminder that it's that time again...seasonal brew time. Autumnal ales, Pumpkins, Browns, Porters and Stouts, they all satisfy the soul in the warm glow of a cracking fire. This month? We bring you four...yes FOUR tasty options for your NFL Sunday. So crack open one of these beauties, and remember, they're always best in a glass to unearth the flavors and aromas that the brewmasters work so hard for you to enjoy. Cheers!

May Beer of the Month: Goose Island Beer Co.'s "Matilda" Belgian Ale

Belgian Ale

Chimay Blue. The undisputed champion of Belgian ales (at least in this man's opinion). I have yet to taste its equal...until now. It's hard to lend credence to an American craft brewer producing a Belgian style in the strict tradition of the Belgian monks, but the Goose Island Beer Co. out of Chicago got this one right. "Matilda" Belgian Ale is chock full of floral notes, fruit and hints of hoppy goodness permeate this complex yet refreshing brew. A stellar Springtime beverage, it's crisp and sweet, and drinks like an effervescent Rose'.

Round 3

3.1 (@mschauf63) Victory Hop Wallop (Downingtown, PA) - I linked to the Beer Advocate review because the first two lines contain the phrases "absolutely amazing" and "insane amount of hops." What more do you need to know?

Lakefront Brewery IPA (Milwaukee, WI)

Round 2

2.1 (@RyFo18) Lakefront IPA (Milwaukee, WI) - A local brewery in Milwaukee, they do a good job on this IPA.  Pours a hazy orange color and has a nice, foamy head.  The citrus hops give it a pleasing, fruity scent.  Like the smell would hint, the taste of citrus hops (a slight grapefruit flavor comes to mind) gives away to a nice bitter finish that will stick with you for a while.

Beer Mock Draft

By now it’s no secret that my right hand man, John, and I like to keep our mugs full.  Well technically, we like to empty them too.  If you’ve been keeping up with the Beer of the Month, you’ve seen (and hopefully tasted) some of our favorite brews.  As it turns out, many of our fellow fantasy football cohorts share our appetite to seek out the best beers of the world.  With the lockout now a thing of the past, it’s only a matter of time before “expert” fantasy football drafts start to surface.  So while you’re preparing for your league’s draft, we put tog

What I did on Summer Vacation...Hint: It Rhymes with DRINK BEER

Plenty of Beer to Drink in Vermont

Roger Goodell & Dee Smith gave me the go ahead to cease fantasy football operations for a week, so during that time I spent some time with my sweet "better half" in the rolling green hills of Vermont. During that time, I hiked, ate some quality grub, and of course, enjoyed some tasty craft beer.
