September and October 2018 Beer Report

It's the end of November in the year 2018 but I am just writing my beer report for the months of September and October.




In September and October 2018 I got to drink some varied beers, a different one each time and so here is my report on that beer experience.






I drank both what may be called craft or microbrewery beer and mass varieties.



First, however, I should say that I can't go into much detail as October was already a long time ago in beer drinking terms and all I remember is my general impressions and I can't comment much on the color or head of brews as I consumed them mainly at dacha which presupposes drinking beer out of cans and bottles without pouring into anything let alone proper beer glasses



But I will rate beers to best of my impressions on an "out-of-five" scale.






So here goes - September.

Jaws Brewery Oatmeal Stout. Jaws Brewery is a microbrewery here in Russia.


Didn't like this one, 1.5/5.


BrewDog Cocoa Psycho Imperial Russian Stout.


This one was liked but with reservations, 2.9/5.


Russia's Gletcher Bowler Brilliant Ale and IPA - these ones are swills but still drinkable in a cheap way, especially the green one, 2/5.



Gletcher Friday Avenue American Lager (center), 2/5.

My Restaurants: Hard Rock Cafe Moscow - Java Lava Burger plus 3 Cocktails...

Here is more in My Restaurants series where I explore the food scene here in Moscow to the best of my limited financial ability.


And this time the restaurant in question is actually a cafe - and not just any cafe but Moscow's Hard Rock Cafe!


Sat on the first floor.




My order was one Java Lava Burger with Onions Fries on the side and three cocktails: Hurricane, Bahama Mama and Pomegranate Mule, also some bottled Evian with an ice cube filled glass.





Hurricane, which I liked best of the three cocktails and it seemed a little stronger but overall I didn't find much difference in taste among the tree cocktails that I ordered whatever that means.




Java Lava Burger

Not too bad, not McDonald's, that's for sure, the meet patty seemed natural but overall it didn't impress me as particularly fresh or as if it had just been made for me.

But I thought it looked good, 3/5.



The cocktail is already Bahama Mama.




You definitely eat this one with knife and fork as it is too big to hold in your hands and let alone to take a bite off, and it would be gross if you tried.




Pomegranate Mule.
