Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter

I’m not sure I have mentioned it, but I created a new site not too long ago dealing with the 3 big nos nos of Government: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. It’s called the Puritan Pub. I will sometimes be cross posting between the two (for example, below). Visit the Pub and tell me what ya think.

As you may, or may not know, where I’m from there’s not a lot of good beer on tap. The places in town tout the typical redneck “beers”: Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors, etc. Thus, I don’t have the privilege of partaking of good beer on tap, for the most part.

This past Lord’s Day, however, I did get to enjoy a new beer (new to me, I mean). Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter is a welcome addition to my mental beer repository. For a bit more information, one can visit here. The Taddy Porter (TP) has a very full and rich taste. Although I didn’t get the opportunity to do so, I think this beer would make an excellent drink with a nice, medium-well prepared, New York Strip.

It has similar tastes to several beers I enjoy. If you have ever been to a BJs Brewery, this has shades of their “Nutty Brewnette,” although I think this is much more refined and better tasting. The TP has a mild sweetness interlaced with the familiar “bitterness” found in darker beers. I’m not a “professional” beer taster, so it’s sometimes difficult to adequately express the varios tastes found therein.

So let’s just suffice it to say that this is an incredibly good beer, and I wholeheartedly commend it to your palate.

    Haven’t tried the Taddy, but the Oatmeal Stout is my fave.

    Pr 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

    Surely one of the basic tendents of Calvinism is to uphold the inspiration of scripture.

    Hi, Mr. Barber.

    I’m assuming you meant “tenets” above, as opposed to “tendents.” Yes, I believe a basic tenet of orthodox Christianity would be to uphold the inspiration of Scripture; although, I’m not sure where in my post I have failed to do so?

    As for the scripture you referenced, I shout a hearty “Amen!” People who are “deceived” by wine and strong drink are quite unwise. In fact, the abuse of God’s gift of alcohol is most certainly sinful, otherwise why would we have the warnings to not abuse such?

    However, alcoholic beverages are most certainly a gift of God, and if the Lord Himself can partake of this with a perfect righteousness, I suppose I can do the same without abusing such a gift. So I say, while upholding the inspiration of Scriptures, let us drink to the glory of God (that is, insofar as your conscience will permit you, personally)!
