Well it sure has been a while since I’ve last posted.  Buying a house and painting sure has taken up a lot of my time!  After moving work took me to Phoenix, Arizona.  Let me say, it was great to get away from the bitter cold -20F temperatures we were having in Wisconsin in exchange for sunshine and 70s!  While in Phoenix I spent some evenings with co-workers at local watering holes, enjoying local brews on the patio.  My favorite of the trip was by Four Peaks Brewing Company, the beer they call Kiltlifter.

Kiltlifter is Scottish Style Ale that has a slightly hazy orangeish-amber color and a nice fluffy off-white head.  The aroma is quite malty, sweet and bready.  The flavor is, as expected, rather malty, just a bit of hop in there and finishes dry with some lingering bready/nuttyness.  If you’re in the western US or can find Four Peaks in store by you, pick up a 6 pack, it’s a tasty brew!

Check back again soon!  I hope to get back on the brewing horse at my new house soon!  I’ll probably update my Beamish Irish Stout with a review and some pictures.
