100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #37: Lamplighter Brewing Co. Speedwagon Kolsch-Style Ale. Nothing tastes better than FREE beer but this was also a gift from a friend who highly recommended it. That made me nervously anticipate the overall experience because I would hate to report back to him that it was not to my taste. I know what you're saying, "A real friend would say it was wonderful and thank him again for the lovely and thoughtful gift. I would counter that by saying friends don't lie to people they love and respect. When it comes to tact I'm horribly deficient. But after the first sip of Lamplighter Brewing Company's Kolsch-Style Speedwagon that whole inner discussion went out the window. The pour itself is a rich, amber hue with a paper white head. The first whiff has notes of caramel, toffee, and a subtle hint of citrus. The initial taste is a harmonious blend of malty sweetness and a touch of hop bitterness, with a complexity of flavors revealing layers of caramel, roasted malt, and a gentle warmth that lingers just long enough to keep you going back for more. What sets Speedwagon apart is its smoothness. The mouthfeel is velvety, with a medium body that strikes a perfect balance between substance and drinkability. The carbonation is just right, enhancing the overall experience without being overwhelming. This is a great brew to have if you're sitting in front of a huge pile of spicy wings or a greasy beef brisket sandwich. The Sonic Pairing: Even though the name of this ale is "Speedwagon" I would never do something as corny as pair it with an REO Speedwagon album…well, never say never. I mean, how could I not? The easy drinkability and bright flavors makes this a great one to crush while taking in a live music experience. With that we'll go with REO Speedwagon's 1977 live release, "You Get What You Play For". This was before they cracked the power ballad hit making code with their multi-platinum top 40 release, High Infidelity". This captures the band at their road dog best. When they had to take it to the people before MTV and use their tight bar band chops with ripping musicianship to leave a loud and lasting impression so they would come back for more the next time they hit town. Songs about hard living on the road with "Like You Do", "Music Man" and the epic "Riding The Storm Out". Early power ballad exploration like, "Being Kind(Can Hurt Someone)" and the country laced anthem "Son Of A Poor Man". It's good time Rock-n-Roll made to show folks a good time for their hard earned dollar. I'll always drink to that.

100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #36: Timberyard Brewing Co. Wolftree Stout. This stout from East Brookfield's Timberyard Brewing Company poured a deep, ebony with a thick tan head and was wicked dark. The first whiff was smokey and sweet with dark chocolate. It had a great balance of roasted malt, hints of chocolate and coffee which gave it a sweet smoothness. There is a little bitterness that adds to the mix by creating a great contrast.The mouth feel seemed a little thin but the layers of flavor kept it intertesting. The finish had a sweet malty bitterness with more chocolate. It was the overall smoothness that made this a real pleasure to drink. The Sonic Pairing: Smooth, smokey and sweet lead me to the live document from Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, "Live From Madison Square Garden". These former Blind Faith band mates pull from both of their extensive catalogs with nuggets from their various musical projects. The sweetness of Derek And The Dominos(Clapton) "Tell The Truth" to the smokiness of the Traffic instrumental "Glad"(Winwood) to the smoothness of the solo Clapton hit "Forever Man" and Winwood's "Split Decision" make this a well balanced brew that flows like a delicious stout pouring into a glass.

100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #35: Bissell Brothers Precept German-Style Pilsner. Once again Bissell Brothers have taken a traditional style of beer and put their own twist on it. From the moment the golden elixir graced my glass, I knew I was in for a treat. The lively effervescence produced a frothy head and the first whiff was that of lemon and grain.Taking my first sip, I was immediately struck by the crisp and clean pilsner profile with a malt foundation and a subtle sweetness that swirled with a floral essence. This was perfectly balanced with a hop bitterness, and bready notes. The lemon was also present but not overpowering. The mouthfeel was light and the crispness made it extra refreshing. If you are not a fan of the omnipresent holiday spiced beers this time of year or burned out on the myriad of IPA's available this is a refreshing break! The Sonic Pairing: Crisp with floral notes immediately made me think of Smashing Pumpkins 1993 release, "Siamese Dream". This was the album that launched them into the stratosphere with hits like "Cherub Rock", "Disarm" and "Today". There are layers of crisp distorted guitars that form a wall of sound that oozes points of melody with Billy Corgan's vocals swirling anger and vulnerability throughout. From the anthemic build of "Soma" to the tender sweetness of "Spaceboy" all of the emotions are wrung out of a soul who's heart has been broken and is looking for solace anywhere they can find it.

100 FM The Pike. Sonic Beer Blog #34: Bay State Brewing Co. Blood Orange Lager. While Bay State Brewing calls this a Blood Orange Lager it actually has a full spectrum of citrus punch. The pour into Das Boot revealed a pink grapefruit color with a thick pink head and aromas of not just the sweet blood orange but also tangerine, mandarin and grapefruit rind. First sip brings the sweetness again of blood orange and grapefruit with cardamom. It has a crisp feel and is easily crushable. I was enjoying mine with a pile of Graveyard Wings from The District Wood Fired Kitchen and it was perfect for cutting through the spicy greasiness. The finish had more citrus and an almost creamscicle taste. This is a thirst quenching brew with a cornucopia of citrus flavors that makes it an easy drinking delight! The Sonic Pairing: The citrusy punch and swirl of flavors are a perfect a accompaniment for The Cult's Sonic Temple. An album that definitely has a complex layering of sounds from Billy Duffy's guitar that revolve around the big beats of drummer Mickey Curry. This makes a great canvas for singer Ian Astbury's wail and howl on songs like the hit "Fire Woman" and "Automatic Blues". There are also sweet moments like "Edie(Ciao baby)" with an undulant string section and gigantic guitar licks. It's balls out rock with a zesty kick.
