The Daily Hotness: Finnegan's Irish Amber
After the spectacular feedback I got from last week's beer review... I've decided to keep doing it. Every Thursday night, I'll have a new beer (new as one I haven't review before) and I'll incorporate it as part of the Hotness. I don't know why, but I feel like someone is probably going to stop me with a C & D or something, so I dunno how long this will be a thing. Anyway, this week I'm taking a look at Finnegan's Irish Amber. I live in the Twin Cities, and Finnegan's has a pretty decent reputation around here. All profits go directly to feeding those less fortunate. A six pack typically runs between $7.50 and $8.50, which is a little on the high end for a mid-level beer. It pours well, but doesn't have any particularly unique characteristics. All in all, it's a certainly decent, if a little bland. Still a lot better than a typical American Pale Lager, in that it doesn't smell or taste like urine. So if you're in the Twin Cities, need some beer and are feeling a bit indecisive, do some good and buy a bit o' Finnegan's. You won't be wowed, but at least you'll be helping people out.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Finnegans is much better on tap. If you live in the twin cities check around at bowling alleys and little bars for this. Pretty sure Cedarvale Lanes still has this on tap in Eagan. Sometimes there's nothing quite like a basic Amber ale. In-between trying experimental beers with all sorts of funky flavors, it's nice to fall back on a classic, not to mention the whole bit about the money goeing to charity, that puts significant weight in the beer's favor.
