However, the most effective and efficient way to attract and hold more and healthier wildlife on your land is by developing a strategy to provide […]

Camping with Beer: 16 Best Brews to Drink By a Campfire

By Leave a Comment

https://www.wideopenspaces.com/the-ultimate-list-of-the-best-beers-for-fireside-camping/

two friends campfire

Recharge and relax by the fire with the perfect beer.

There is nothing like sitting by the fire and cracking a cold one. Nothing defines spring and summer like sitting around a fire with good friends, telling some fish stories, and most importantly having an ice cold beer. So, do it up right this year with the perfect beer from the list below.

Now there are, in my mind, two types of camping and fires. Cold nights, when you want to warm up and keep close to the fire, and, of course, there are the warm and hot nights when the campfire is a social gathering.

I’ll break up the beers into these two groups.

I went with all craft beers, because if you’re still bringing plain old Budweiser to a campfire, you’re doing it all wrong.

For Cold Nights

Dragon’s Milk – New Holland Brewing Company

When you are trying to keep warm and sitting around a fire nothing gets the juices flowing like a bourbon barrel stout. This is not a beer for the faint of heart, especially if you get the reserve as pictured here. At 12% to 17% abv it packs a potent punch, but the vanilla, coffee and chocolate mellow it out.

Big Bad Baptist – Epic Brewing Company

Another amazing stout with a whiskey flavor. This beer is aged in whiskey barrels giving it a nice whiskey and somewhat smokey flavor. On a personal note this has quickly become one of my personal favorites.

Colossal Oversight – Oddside Ales

This is the last bourbon aged one I promise. The whiskey notes are VERY mellowed by the sweet caramels in the beer. If you are looking to test a barley wine I would start with this one.

Accumulation – New Belgium

So you don’t like dark beers? Good, Accumulation is a white IPA that is sure to keep you warm if the fire doesn’t. It is a smooth but bitter. I hope you like hops.

Winter Ale – Alaskan

An Ale brewed with spruce tips? Oh hell yes. As it’s only a seasonal beer it’s worth blowing your budget to stock up. This is a sweet English style ale with a smooth spruce finish.

Fuller’s ESB – Fuller Smith & Turner PLC

The Extra Special Bitter. It starts off sweet with a bitter finish. Sure to last until the fire burns out. If you’re a fan of drier hops this is the IPA for you.

Indian Brown Dark IPA – Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

Sometime’s you can’t pick between a scotch ale, an IPA, or an American Brown. With this one you don’t have to. It’s a unique hybrid of the three that tastes amazing.

For Warm Nights

Fat Tire – New Belgium

If I had to drink just one beer for the rest of my life, this would probably be the beer. This amber goes great with almost any occasion, and a campfire is no exception.

 

Two Hearted – Bell’s Brewing

Nothing sums up summer like an IPA and fishing and this beer has fish on the bottle. It’s also a great refreshing beer, often the first IPA people are exposed to.

All Day IPA – Founder’s Brewing Company

You camp to get away and relax. If your idea of relaxed is sitting around a fire for a day and sharing some good beers with friends nothing will top the All Day IPA. With a hint of orange and caramel, this is the perfect beer for summer.

Oberon – Bell’s Brewing

I hate this damn beer but everyone else loves it. A very light wheat ale, only available in summer, it just goes hand in hand with camping, I guess.

Alaskan Summer Ale – Alaskan Brewing Company

A kolsch beer that is light and refreshing. After a hard day of fishing or setting up camp reward yourself with this. With a hint of hops this beer is perfect to unwind with for the night.

Dirty Blonde – Atwater Brewing

Keeping with the light and refreshing, Atwater’s Dirty Blonde deserves a place in your cooler this summer. With a light citrus flavor I recommend this as an alternative to oberon. It’s just a simple, light, and crisp beer. Plus, you get to say, “Mmmm, I love a Dirty Blonde.” My wife hates that joke.

Alaskan Amber Ale – Alaskan Brewing Company

Another amber that’s perfect for summer. Great for pairing with fried fish that you are enjoying around the campfire. Or great for just sitting around the fire.

So hopefully you found something on this list that you like or are interested in trying. If not let me know your go to campfire beer. Thanks to Mr. Liquid Bread for helping me with this list.

Check Out the $100 Shimano SLX Baitcast Reel

By Leave a Comment

https://www.wideopenspaces.com/check-out-the-100-shimano-slx-baitcast-reel/

Shimano SLX

At a price point of $100, the new Shimano SLX is built to perform and won’t break the bank.

The fishing reel space can be a saturated one, with manufacturers inundating the market with a multitude of releases each season. And for those that spend any amount of time on the water, many of these fresh new spins come with a hefty price tag.

Introduced at the 2018 ICAST show in July, the new Shimano SLX line of baitcast reels are built with performance in mind but at a price point that’s easy on the wallet. For a tournament pro or weekend angler, what’s not to love about that?!

Let’s get into the nitty gritty. In terms of cosmetics, the Shimano SLX is sleek and stylish. Matte black in color, with shiny blue accents, this low profile reel will look great on any rod (especially the companion SLX line of sticks).

Shimano SLX

Weighing a lean 6.9 ounces, the SLX feels like a feather in the hand. This will be advantageous for those who like to cast from sun up to sun down.

The SLX series is offered in six models and three gear ratios: 6.3:1, 7.2:1, and a lightning quick 8.2:1. If you love to burn buzzbaits or are looking for more efficiency when pitching jigs, that last one is the real deal.

The Shimano SLX baitcast reels are designed around the HAGANE body concept and are built on a solid and precise aluminum frame. Although compact, the line capacity on these reels is more than adequate–up to 105 yards of 40-pound test PowerPro braid.

They also sport 3 + 1 ball bearings and have a long handle—the latter which is comfortable to hold and easy to turn.

Each Shimano SLX is built with their proven six-spin style Variable Brake System (VBS) and have a maximum drag rating of 12 pounds.

At a price point of $99.99 (USD), the Shimano SLX line of baitcast reels definitely deserve a look. They are sleek, perform well, and come at a cost anglers can all appreciate. That’s a winner in our books.
