Calling itself an Irish Pale Ale McSorleys feels more like an interesting cross between an India Pale Ale and and an Irish Red Ale.  With a light copper color, thin white head, and, a flowery and sweet wheat smell to it it’s easy to say that it caught me a little off guard at first.  McSorley starts out strong and bitter with hints of flowers, smoke, and pine, and I honestly thought thats all it had to offer, but once I took a few more sips I got a strong wheat sweetness on the finish. McSorley’s is full bodied and dry (the only way I can reasonably describe it), and it comes on strong and just when you think it’s over it gives you a sweet almost hefeweizen finish.  I have rarely had a beer this much in two different places both a pale ale and a red ale. McSorleys is a nice option if your a bitter beer lover (hop-head) looking for a change of pace or if you like red ales (Smithwick’s, or Sam Adam’s Irish Red) but are looking for something with a little more bite to it.</p> <p><img/><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz6xdhDyaf1qack94.jpg"/></p> <p>Malty ————|- Bitter</p> <p>Light ——|——- Dark</p> <p>Brewery: McSorley’s Brewery (aka Lion Brewery) - Wilkes Barre, PA</p> <p>ABV: 5.50%</p> <p>-Mike Fournier</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/444032301http://twohungrydudes.com/post/444032301Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:33:00 -0500beerpale alebitterirish<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz5hgq3bkm1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#70 Biftekia (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/montage_man">@joefoodie</a>)</p> <p>Biftekia is a Greek style meat patty comprised of lamb, ground beef, onions, parsley, oregano, & other spices.  Served with garlicky tzatziki sauce & Greek salad, biftekia is a nice change of pace from normal hamburgers.  </p> <p>Biftekia was purchased at Athenian Shish Kebob in Saint Clair Shores, MI.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/442565667http://twohungrydudes.com/post/442565667Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:53:14 -0500food365<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyyeaaEw1Z1qzwciio1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sawara Noodles served in Sawa Restaurant located at Burmah Road, Penang, Malaysia.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/442530270http://twohungrydudes.com/post/442530270Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:36:04 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz3mykEIQA1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#69 Kibbeh Soneyeh (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/montage_man">JoeFoodie</a>)</p> <p>Although my favorite kibbeh dish is nayeh (raw), soneyeh is a close second.  Literally translated, kibbeh bel soneyeh means kibbeh in a tray.  Soneyeh is has 3 layers: 2 layers of kibbeh with a layer of <a href="http://gwiv.com/Cedarland12.jpg">hashwi</a> in between.  A spicy &  rich dish, kibbeh soneyeh pairs well with pita & leban.</p> <p>The kibbeh soneyeh pictured here is from Emily’s Deli in Saint Clair Shores, MI.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/440410109http://twohungrydudes.com/post/440410109Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:56:43 -0500food365<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz0cx4i2YS1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Submitted by <a href="http://thesweetestofwords.tumblr.com/">thesweetestofwords</a></p> <p>nasi briyani frm sarabat @ johore bahru, malaysia. it is as delicious as it looks.</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/439988964http://twohungrydudes.com/post/439988964Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:40:14 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz1s6mQEcA1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#68 Cherry Almond Bread Pudding (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/montage_man">JoeFoodie</a>)</p> <p>A carryout from Jumps Restaurant in Grosse Pointe, this bread pudding had an intense almond flavor.  Perfectly sweet with a touch of tartness from the dried cherries, this was a truly luscious dessert.

This is different from most bocks I’ve had which usually have a nutty or oak like flavor, Shiner Bock on the other hand has a malty clean flavor with a more noticeable bitter ending.  If you are looking for a beer to start venturing away from lagers this wouldn’t be a bad choice.  With a crisp clean start and a slightly bitter finish I think this might be a decent entry level bitter beer, as it’s not as bitter as most pale ales, but definitely more bitter than the traditional lager or light beer. In terms of comparison it’s almost a Labatt Blue start with a bitter nut ale finish, like Newcastle or Moose Drool.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kythuhNBdC1qack94.jpg"/></p> <p>Brewery: Spoetzl Berwery - Shiner, TX</p> <p><br/>Malty —-|——— Bitter</p> <p>Light  ——|——- Dark</p> <p>ABV: 4.4%<br/>-Mike Fournier</p>http://twohungrydudes.com/post/428483675http://twohungrydudes.com/post/428483675Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:31:20 -0500Beerbockbrown alelagerShiner BockSpoetzl<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kysk2x6Ayl1qzwciio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>365 Days of Food</p> <p>#63 Margherita Pizza (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/montage_man">JoeFoodie</a>)</p> <p>The oven at Crust in Rochester Hills, MI burns at a temperature above 800 degrees fahrenheit.
