Beer Blog Hall Of Fame - Four Horsemen Irish Ale


Back in 1995 (when my alcoholism was officially born) by dad came home from South Bend after dropping off my very confused and dementia riddled grandparents (may they rest in peace) to their house. On the way back he stopped by a liquor store, which we all have done after the "grandparent drop off" aka Homeward Bound 4: Just Really Sad and Depressing. There he found this lovely ale, Four Horsemen Irish Ale. He had one on the way home (don't judge) and was completely smitten. He bought 2 6 packs which between me, my brother and my dad lasted roughly fifteen minutes. This stuff is teh tits.

Beer: Four Horsemen Irish Ale

Brewer: Mishawaka Brewing Company outta Mishawaka, IN. (go figure).

Color: Deep reddish-copper color.

Taste: Initial maltiness with slightly bitter aftertaste. Gives a general warm satisfaction, the kind of satisfaction Ed Begly, Jr. gets while humping a tree.

Alcohol Content: Roughly 5.7%

Hangover Factor: Moderate.

Good Tip: None, good as is.

Porn Actress Equivalent: Holly Body, a very well built beer.

Beer Blog HOF Induction: 2009

It's great that a Indiana brew is initial inductee to this very prestigious (yet totally irrelevant)) hall of fame. Makes me damn proud to be a Hoosier.
