The Brew Club reviews Jamaica Stout from the Carribbean! The beer is aptly called ‘Jamaica Stout’, and its from the Big City Brewing Company in Kingston, Jamaica which is the only brewery fully owned and operated by Jamaicans.

The Coopers Sparkling Ale has a very clean taste, and has no pretensions of being something fancy and exotic. With the warmer weather coming up, I’m thinking this Coopers Sparkling Ale might make a good ‘Lawnmower Beer’. This is the same Coopers Brewery that manufactures the Coopers Microbrewery Kit, so if you were inclined to make six gallons of this beer at home, well, you can!

The first thing that hits you when drinking Kronenbourg Blanc is a fruity lemony nose, that is almost overpowering; there are hints of orange peel, coriander and vanilla in there, as you’d expect from a wheat beer, but they’re well hidden. The Brew Club checks out this great French Beer.

Kronenbourg is probably the strongest competitor to InBev’s Stella Artois brand in the UK premium lager market. Kronenbourg 1664 (5% ABV), is named for the year the original brewery was founded (in Strasbourg rather than Cronenbourg) and is widely available on draught in the UK.

The Brew Club members picked their March Madness teams, and the winner gets a nice bottle of beer from each of the other members. Pretty cool right? Its a fun way to do this month’s beer exchange, and it adds a little bit of competition to the mix.
