Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Guinness and Harp. Black and Tan. Half & half. This is 50% of that potent twin combo. On its own, Harp stands up with any other beer out there. Interestingly the product is now brewed on the other side of the pond in Canada; not Ireland. They are still true to the recipe.

So strike up the band, pop the top and relax with one of finest imbibements known to mankind. Take it from one who knows, me, the reaper...this is the stuff angels drink! Surely it's "the craic!"

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Not much on the label. No year of origin, no alcohol content. There's a standard "Government Warning" about the risks associated with drinking beer. Very unremarkable...

But don't judge this book by its cover! It is a very good beer with an unusual sweetness in the finish of each sip. I can't quite put my finger on that up-note at the end, but I like it. It's light enough not to weigh you down.

So who needs a lot of info on the bottle? After all, we're here to drink beer not to read it! However, if you do want to read all about this beer, I strongly suggest you go to their website. That's where they do all the explaining, as it's self titled, "Probably the Best Website in the World!"

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
The best beer pun yet.....if their brew master was Steve Urkel, he'd surely say after one delicious sip, "Did I brew thaaaat?" This is the way a beer should taste; crisp, clean and refreshing. You'll want another and there will be room for it. The bottle labeling is all over the place, (just like Steve). It sports a gold foil neckband and the front has a faux wax seal. There's even a transparently clear label stating it's, "The Original Pilsner". Well one thing's for sure, Pilsner Urquell and Steve Urkel are both "originals". You'll be doing the Urkel dance after a 6 pack of these fine beers.
