Murphy’s Red $7.99/6pb
The bread notes in this beer
are easily its most defining characteristic. It doesn't smell toasty as much as
it smells like homemade bread warming in the oven. Even drinking Irish Red is
redolent of biting into freshly baked bread: It is incredibly soft and rounded
on the palate and leaves many of those same biscuity flavors in your mouth. The
hops in this brew need to be more noticeable to keep pace with all the malt
flavors, but overall, Heineken (owners of Murphy's) has made a very drinkable
brew. When you can get it on tap, do: The head and body are much creamier when
the beer's straight from the keg.
Murphy’s Stout $14.99/10pc or $5.99/4pc 16oz
The lightest and sweetest of
Ireland's Big Three (Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's), Murphy's Irish Stout is
the "nice guy" of the group. But don't be deceived — that just means
you can drink more of ‘em. Think chocolate milk topped with a double shot of
espresso and finished with a one-inch thick head of caramel-infused creamy
goodness. Since the company's acquisition by Heineken in 1983, Murphy's has
been enjoying a reputation as one of the fastest growing stout brands in the
world. Have a Guinness for dinner, but save this one for dessert.
