Ceres - Strong Ale Export

Strong Ale is brewed at Ceres Bryggerierne in Denmark. Strong Ale has a distinct vinous character. However, it is not a heavy beer since raw grain (maize) has been used to soften the taste. Drink chilled, preferably in large, stemmed glasses. Why not serve it with a steak instead of a glass of red wine?  I had this brew in Sicily 2009, it was a warm day and went down very well.

General Lafayette - 275th Anniversary Ale

It was a one time run to celebrate the General Lafayette Inn's 275th anniversary in 2007.  General Lafayette is located just outside of Philly.  I was a mug club member for the ten years that the brewpub offered the membership.  I purchased one bottle to give it a try.  I loved it!  I went back and purchased two or three more bottles.  I managed to save one for a few months before I shared it with friends.  The General Lafayette held back bottles for a second offering and I picked up three more bottles.
