Young Blood Beer Company – Smoked Porter – 4 out of 7 Smokestacks

Posted on November 17, 2022 by SmokeBeerMinistry

So they named their company Young Blood? At least they had the sense to not print the word blood on the front of the label. YB Beer company is better. Maybe change the name to Young Bold? Well young bloods, … Continue reading →

Pipeworks – Smoked Helles – 5.8 smokestacks out of 7

Posted on February 15, 2021 by SmokeBeerMinistry

This works! By Pipeworks, Smoked Helles. Helles means Light, according to the inebriated employee at a random Kentucky liquor store, (I don’t recall ever verifying that Helles statement). And this Smoked Helles by Pipeworks really fits the genre better than … Continue reading →

Posted on February 2, 2018 by SmokeBeerMinistry

Found one in a can! Which is fun, because it’s so rare, but its really not that exciting because the canned smokebeers I’ve had have all been below average. And this one, which is only the 6th can in a … Continue reading →

Brewery Vivant – Undertaker – 4 smokestacks out of 7

Posted on September 15, 2017 by SmokeBeerMinistry

Not a smokebeer, but the label says subtle smokiness so this investigation ensued. Undertaker is alright. I’d drink it again. My friend is an undertaker and says people are dying to see him. Probably not the case with this beer, … Continue reading →

Posted on January 5, 2017 by SmokeBeerMinistry

Only the 5th smokebeer I’ve ever seen in a can (and 2nd this week). That’s unusual. It’s also unusual to see silt pour out of a can, but with beer companies throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the market, … Continue reading →

YO-HO Brewing – Tokyo Black – 4 out of 7 smokestacks

Posted on August 9, 2016 by SmokeBeerMinistry

Dark beer. The head fizzled quickly for me. Smoked malts smells rise up right away. Ashy notes. Hops are done just right, with limited range. This beer is malty, watery (which is fine, especially when you’re thirsty), carbonated. Charcoal flavors. … Continue reading →
