Being able to find the perfect mix of sweet and savory feels like a miracle. This necessarily doesn’t mean that it must include something spicy but that is always an option.

I’ve been told recently that spicy doesn’t have to be scary, so be daring with me if you tend to shy away from the heat.  But I won’t be doing that this evening, ha!

I’m writing on here about paring foods from time to time.  One thing I get stuck on is either find flavors that are matchy or find flavors that are complimenting but different.  One random night after work.  Ya know, when your exhausted but just need some sort of nourishment.  We grabbed Pillar of Beasts from 3 Floyds Brewing at West Connection Beer Vault (we had picked this up in a mix a six, alongside several others, including the recent pumpkin beers I had with Grandma SueAnn) to have with burgers and onions from the grilled and garlicky sauteed green beans.

It. Was. Amazing.

 

I legit wasn’t picking this out on purpose.  It was an evening where we grabbed beer and some food to shove down our tired gullets to try to make it through the week.  First of all; barleywine.  It’s a favorite so we knew we couldn’t go wrong.  It was the perfect combo of sweet and savory.  The flavors mixed so well until I realized they were all gone.

This comes rocking in at a 13.7% ABV according to Untapped.  This definitely qualifies as a BIG DAMN BEER! #BDB

Pillar of Beasts has a 4.21 overall rating (on Untappd) and is described as “Our latest Barleywine Ale brewed with Salted Caramel, vanilla beans, and cocoa nibs then aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels.  Taste the scrumptiousness.” You can see our post on Instagram about the beer here: Pillars of Beast – The Beer Thrillers on Instagram. (Please be sure to give us a follow on Instagram. Thank you!)

Pairing the sweet barleywine with a savory burger and garlicky green beans was one of the best decisions I’ve made since I decided to date the creator of The Beer Thrillers.

Exploring Ultra Right’s Limited Edition Conservative Dad’s Beer https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/08/13/exploring-ultra-rights-limited-edition-conservative-dads-beer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=exploring-ultra-rights-limited-edition-conservative-dads-beer Tue, 13 Aug 2024 14:30:04 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15722 Ultra Right Beer’s limited edition “Conservative Dad’s Fight American Beer” makes a bold statement in the craft beer market. The patriotic-themed six-pack features a sleek design and ties to conservative values. With a mission to challenge mainstream brands, this beer reflects a cultural message while offering a straightforward drinking experience.

Designed for supporters of its ethos, it combines classic lager notes with a modern identity. For more details or to purchase, visit Ultra Right’s website.

A new limited edition can of the Conservative Dad’s Beer has been announced

Ultra Right Beer: Conservative Dad’s Limited Edition Can – A Beer with a Message

Ultra Right Beer has launched its limited edition “Conservative Dad’s Fight American Beer,” a six-pack that merges craft beer with a cultural statement. The can design, emblazoned with patriotic imagery, aligns with the brand’s commitment to challenging mainstream narratives in the beer industry.

Crafted as a traditional American lager, this beer invites supporters of its ethos to enjoy a drink that resonates beyond taste. For those curious about its flavor and philosophy, explore further on Ultra Right’s official site.

Ultra Right Beer’s limited edition “Conservative Dad’s Fight American Beer” isn’t just a beverage; it’s a cultural statement. The beer positions itself as an alternative to mainstream brands, aligning with conservative values and a pro-American ethos. The design of the cans, featuring patriotic imagery, reinforces its mission to resonate with its target audience.

The brand’s website emphasizes its goal of creating “100% Woke-Free American Beer” as a rallying point for those who feel underrepresented in the market. The beer itself is described as a straightforward American lager, providing a familiar and accessible flavor profile for casual drinkers and enthusiasts alike.

Beyond its taste, the beer serves as a rallying cry for cultural independence. Ultra Right Beer’s founder stated, “It’s more than a drink, it’s a movement.” The limited-edition release has drawn both supporters and critics, sparking broader discussions about how brands intersect with cultural identity.

Craft beer is often associated with innovation and individuality, and this product underscores how breweries can leverage personal values and political stances to attract a specific audience. While some might see this beer as a polarizing choice, it’s clear that Ultra Right Beer is carving its niche in the craft beer world with a unique marketing approach.

For more on this product, or to purchase, visit Ultra Right Beer’s website.

Comparisons to Politically-Influenced Beer Brands

Ultra Right’s approach recalls other beers that made cultural or political statements. Brands like BrewDog have used activism in their marketing, such as their “Make Earth Great Again” beer promoting environmentalism. Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch faced backlash for their own political involvement earlier in 2024. These examples reveal how beer is more than a product; it can become a platform for discussion, advocacy, or controversy.

Craft beer has long been about individuality, and Ultra Right Beer demonstrates that ethos by addressing an underserved audience. Whether loved or critiqued, the limited-edition six-pack is part of a growing trend of brands engaging consumers on cultural and ideological levels.

Consumer Perceptions of Political Branding in Beer

The concept of politically-branded beer has seen a range of reactions. Supporters appreciate brands like Ultra Right Beer for representing their values in a market they feel often leans in the opposite direction. As one supporter of Ultra Right Beer noted, “It’s refreshing to see a product align with what I believe.”

However, political branding also invites scrutiny. Critics argue that tying beer to ideologies risks alienating potential customers. For example, brands such as Anheuser-Busch experienced both backlash and boycotts earlier this year when consumers felt their campaigns clashed with their beliefs.

Surveys on the topic reveal a split: while some consumers actively seek brands that resonate with their personal values, others prefer their beer—and their drinking experience—free from politics. The conversation highlights how deeply cultural and social influences affect purchasing decisions, especially in the craft beer world, which has traditionally celebrated diversity and innovation.

Whether you’re a loyal fan or a first-timer, here’s everything you need to know about this decadent brew that’s capturing hearts (and taste buds) across the state.

Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter is Back


What Makes Hershey’s Chocolate Porter Special?

Yuengling’s Hershey’s Chocolate Porter combines the brewery’s nearly 200-year-old Dark Porter recipe with Hershey’s world-famous chocolate. At 4.7% ABV, this American porter boasts a rich blend of Hershey’s chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, and cocoa nibs, creating a flavor profile that’s both smooth and indulgent.

Food Pairings to Elevate Your Experience

Wondering what to enjoy with your Hershey’s Chocolate Porter? This versatile beer pairs beautifully with a variety of flavors:

  • Chocolate Desserts: Amplify the rich cocoa notes by sipping it alongside brownies, chocolate mousse, or a slice of chocolate cake.
  • Barbecue: The porter’s subtle smokiness complements the charred flavors of ribs, pulled pork, or brisket.
  • Cheese: For a savory twist, try it with sharp cheddar, creamy brie, or a smoky gouda.

This beer’s versatility makes it a perfect choice for holiday gatherings or cozy nights by the fire.


Where to Find It

As of now, Yuengling’s Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is hitting shelves wherever Yuengling products are sold. Keep an eye out at your local distributor or favorite bar, as this beer tends to fly off the shelves quickly!


Why Yuengling and Hershey Are the Perfect Match

This collaboration celebrates the best of Pennsylvania’s craft and culinary traditions, making it more than just a beer—it’s a sip of history.

A Historic Collaboration of Two Pennsylvania Icons

The Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter marked a milestone in 2019, introducing the first collaboration between two legendary Pennsylvania brands, each with over a century of heritage. Yuengling, America’s oldest brewery, and Hershey’s, the name synonymous with chocolate, have come together to create a beer that truly celebrates Pennsylvania’s roots. This special brew has grown in popularity every year, becoming a seasonal staple for fans across the region.

What’s Inside the Brew? A Chocolate Lover’s Dream

Yuengling’s Chocolate Porter brings together their time-honored Dark Brewed Porter recipe with the smooth, rich flavor of Hershey’s chocolate. Clocking in at a drinkable 4.7% ABV, it combines dark roasted malts and caramel notes for a luscious, well-balanced porter that’s sure to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth. The chocolatey richness makes it perfect for pairing with everything from smoked meats to rich desserts.

Jennifer Yuengling, Vice President of Operations and a 6th-generation family member at Yuengling, shared her excitement: “One of our top priorities is listening to our fans, and we know how much they look forward to this fall-favorite. We’re thrilled to bring it back for those searching for something special in their seasonal beer lineup.”

Only available while supplies last, it’s the kind of seasonal brew that you’ll want to snag sooner rather than later.
