Guinness Rich Chili Burts Potato Chips Review

 
The Money Shot I found these Guinness Rich Chili Burts Potato Chips at my local Harris Teeter, and I was completely unaware that Guinness Beer made chips / lent out their brand to chip companies. They are, apparently, a new thing – Foodbeast covered them a while back. Beer flavored chips? Or chili flavored beer chips? Hmmm. These are intriguing. 

BURTS is apparently the actual brand of these Guinness Rich Chili Potato Chips, NOT Guinness. Never heard of Burts, and I know all the UK folk out there want to kill me right now. They look good though – a thick cut kettle chip, I guess? 






Guinness Rich Chili Burts Potato Chips contain Barley Malt Extract Powder, which is sort of exciting. I am a little confused – the UK version of these is apparently called RICH BEEF CHILLI, and this does not have “beef” in the name or the ingredients. Vegan beer chips? Dunno. I do like the use of sunflower oil, however.

When I opened up this bag of Guinness Rich Chili Burts Potato Chips, stuck my nose in and inhaled, I smelled…a tiny bit of sweetness? A meaty smell, although more vegetarian? I can’t explain it…this sort of smelled like a pot of stewed lentils? Is that the most bizarre description I can give these chips?

The appearance of the chips was nice – these were thick cut, with a kettle cooked look to them. Each chip was heavily dusted with brown powder. Was it powdered Guinness? I don’t think so.

I popped a bunch of these Guinness Rich Chili Burts Potato Chips into my mouth and chewed, and they…well, they didn’t REALLY taste like beer at all! *disappointed face* Then again, I’m not sure what I expected.

Let me start by saying these didn’t taste BAD – in fact, objectively, if you didn’t tell me what these chips were named, I’d say these tasted pretty good! There was a general savoriness to the chip – I picked up a darker smoky flavor that was sort of meaty. I got definite notes of onion and the tang/sweetness of the tomato powder. There was the subtle but deep flavor of jalapeno chilis, but more like the flavor you get when you blister jalapenos over a flame. Spice wise, not much – a TINY TINY bit of tingle. Small bit of paprika.

If this sounds like an awful description, it’s because these chips are a tough one to describe. In a lot of ways, they tasted a LOT like plenty of other potato chips I’ve had from the UK – they all seem to have this dark smoky semi-meaty flavor as the base flavor. Was there a beer taste? You know, I did catch a subtle flavor of beer in there – it reminded me of how you can taste that beer bitterness when you eat beer cheese. that same bitterness was noticeable here.

Overall? Meh. Like I said, these weren’t bad, but they certainly didn’t taste like Guinness, and they didn’t have a flavor that made me want to rush right out and buy another bag. Next time…pass.

Boddington's Pub Ale Review

\



Boddingtons Brewery was a regional brewery in Manchester, England which owned pubs throughout the North West. Boddingtons was best known for Boddingtons Bitter (Boddies), a straw-golden, hoppy bitter which was one of the first beers to be packaged in cans containing a widget, giving it a creamy draught-style head. In the 1990s, the beer was promoted as The Cream of Manchester in a popular advertising campaign credited with raising Manchester's profile. Boddingtons became one of the city's most famous products after Manchester United and Coronation Street.[2]



Whitbread bought Boddingtons Brewery in 1989 and Boddingtons Bitter received an increased marketing budget and nationwide distribution. Boddingtons achieved its peak market share in 1997 and at the time was exported to over forty countries. Boddingtons beer brands are now owned by the global brewer Anheuser–Busch InBev which acquired the Whitbread Beer Company in 2000. Strangeways Brewery closed in 2004 and production of pasteurised (keg and can) Boddingtons was moved to Samlesbury in Lancashire. Production of the cask conditioned beer moved to Hydes Brewery in Moss Side, Manchester until it was discontinued in 2012, ending the beer's association with the city.



Boddingtons Pub Ale is a A higher ABV version of Boddingtons Draught Bitter, brewed since 1993 for export markets. It was available in the United Kingdom from 1995–6 as Boddingtons Export. It has a 4.6% Alcohol by volume.

Cheerwine Soda Rewiew

 

Cheerwine is a cherry-flavored soft drink produced by the Carolina Beverage Corporation of Salisbury, North Carolina. It has been produced since 1917 by "the oldest continuing soft drink company still run by the same family".

When the Maysville Syrup Company of Maysville, Kentucky went bankrupt in 1917, L.D. Peeler and other invested businessmen moved the company to North Carolina and renamed it the Carolina Beverage Corporation. That same year, Peeler purchased a recipe for a cherry flavored soda from a Saint Louis flavor salesman, which eventually became Cheerwine. Though it had been around since 1917, Cheerwine first became a registered trademark in 1926.

Cheerwine has a mildly sweet flavor with strong cherry notes, most notably black cherry; is burgundy-colored, and has an unusually high degree of carbonation compared to other soft drinks. The product was named for its color and taste; the company website states that "it made sense to name a burgundy-red, bubbly, cherry concoction—Cheerwine." The "Retro Cheerwine" variant is sold in glass bottles and is sweetened with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. Despite its name, Cheerwine is not really a wine and contains no alcohol.

The company also markets Cheerwine flavored ice cream, sherbet, and cream bars, mainly in Food Lion, a Salisbury-based supermarket chain. A commercially-baked Cheerwine cake, based on an old Southern recipe, became available through a Salisbury-based company in 2008.

In 2009, the company began a re-branding campaign designed to revamp the drink's image, especially among younger consumers. The re-branding called for a redesign of the Cheerwine packaging, with a new, retro-style logo based on an early Cheerwine logo.

In 2010, Cheerwine partnered with the North Carolina-based donut company, Krispy Kreme, and released a limited-offered Cheerwine flavored donut on July 1 of that year. It was sold only at select grocery stores for the month of July, and at the Salisbury Krispy Kreme. The Cheerwine doughnut returned again in July 2011.

In 2010, Canton, Ohio-based Old Carolina Barbecue became the first restaurant chain in Ohio to offer Cheerwine as a fountain drink. By 2014 Cheerwine-based products including iced  slushi, Cheerwine cakes and floats had become a signature part of the Old Carolina concept.

Morgan Shepherd ran an entry in the NASCAR Busch Series (now the Nationwide Series) in the mid-1990s with Cheerwine sponsorship.

Cheerwine is sometimes mixed with Captain Morgan to make a drink called the "Whining Pirate."

Cheerwine is available in much of the southeastern United States, from West Virginia south to Florida, but is better known in the Carolinas and Virginia. Other spots to find Cheerwine are the many "specialty soda" stores throughout the country. Currently, Cheerwine is also being sold in Sheetz convenience stores in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In addition, it is also available in Norway.

In April 2005, other regions of the United States began to bottle Cheerwine, mainly through Pepsi distributors.

On March 9, 2011, the New York Times Diner's Journal referred to "The Expanding Cult of Cheerwine." On April 5, 2011, the company announced plans for nationwide distribution by 2017, which would be the product's 100th anniversary. The same day, the company also introduced a new advertising campaign, "Born in the South. Raised in a glass."At the time, Cheerwine was available in 12 percent of the nation. Radio commercials include "The Caper", where criminals left everything from a store except Cheerwine; and "Battle of the Bulge", in which a soldier from the Salisbury area has two bottles sent to him during World War II and gives one to his friend.

Also in April 2011, Cheerwine announced it was searching for a woman to represent the company as "Miss Cheerwine." Candidates had be 21 to 25 years old and live in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia. A company spokesperson stated, "We’re looking for a poised, enthusiastic young woman who can help us spread the legend and get Cheerwine into the hands of our fans with charm, confidence, sweetness and a sense of fun." On June 3, 2011, Spencer Cummings, named the first Miss Cheerwine, began the Miss Cheerwine Summer Legend Tour.

On October 18, 2011, Cheerwine announced plans to partner with Pepsi Beverages Co. in Florida, Atlanta, and Memphis, Tennessee. The same week, the company began using glass bottles to distribute the "Original 1917 Formula" with sugar, as well as introducing 12-pack cans.

On June 16, 2014, Birmingham's Buffalo Rock Co. announced Cheerwine distribution in Alabama, western Georgia and the Florida panhandle. This adds about 6.5 million potential new customers to their distribution footprint.

Cheerwine has sponsored the North Carolina band the Avett Brothers on tour.

Woman scales State House flagpole, removes Confederate flag

The Confederate flag was temporarily removed from in front of the South Carolina State House Saturday morning.

A small activist group out of North Carolina decided to take action today to "do what the SC legislature has thus far neglected to do," according to a news release.

Thirty-year-old Brittany Ann Byuarim Newsome of Raleigh, NC was about halfway up the more than 30-foot steel flagpole just after dawn Saturday when State Capitol police told her to come down. Instead, she continued climbing and removed the flag before returning to the ground.

Newsome and another man, 30-year-old James Ian Tyson of Charlotte, who had entered the wrought-iron fence surrounding the flag were arrested.

"We removed the flag today because we can't wait any longer," Newsome said. "We can't continue like this another day. It's time for a new chapter where we are sincere about dismantling white supremacy and building toward true racial justice and equality. Every day that the flag is up there is an endorsement of hate.”

Mobile users, tap here to see mugshots of the accused and more photos of the removal/arrest.

“We are regular human beings, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, Carolinians, educators, and activist[s] —both black and white— who believe in the fundamental idea of humanity," a statement from the unnamed group said. "The flag we removed is one of the most familiar remnants of white supremacy that supports the idea that there is still a reigning group of individuals who control our freedom, while tacitly supporting white Americans when they commit heinous and racially charged hate crimes against Blacks and People of Color. We took this task in our own hands because our, President, Governor, mayors, legislators, and councilmen had a moral duty to remove the flag but failed to act. We could not sit by and watch the victims of the Charleston Massacre be laid to rest while the inspiration for their deaths continue to fly above their caskets."

“We call all people to join us and stand as a united front, to take an active role towards liberating ourselves through the dismantlement of the largest form of our oppression, white supremacy. Let this day be the start towards true human progress.”

The group had hoped the flag, which is protected by state law, would be absent from the pole for a planned flag supporter rally scheduled for later Saturday morning but that wasn't the case. A new flag was raised again a short time later.

A South Carolina Department of Public Safety spokeswoman said Newsome and Tyson have been charged with defacing a monument. They were released on $3000 bond each, both are allowed to leave the state but must return for their next appearance scheduled for July 27. The charge carries a a prison sentence up to three years and a $5,000 fine.
A crowd fund set up to pay for Newsroom's bail and legal expenses has been set up on the website Indigo. The "Bail for Brie Newsome" fund had raised more than $81,750 in ten hours.

Calls for removing the flag have been renewed since nine black churchgoers were killed in what police characterized as a racist attack at a Charleston church last week.

Cuomo: 'Nightmare finally over'

 David Sweat, the second of two inmates who escaped from a New York prison, has been shot, according to authorities.

The shooting occurred in Constable, NY - two miles south of Canada. It was roughly about 30 miles west of the Clinton Correctional Facility. Police have not released the condition of Sweat, but reports say he was shot twice and has been transported to the hospital.

According to reports, Officer Sgt. Jay Cook of the New York State Police shot Sweat after he tried to run away. Sweat didn't appear to be armed.

Sweat, 35, is a convicted murderer and escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY, with fellow inmate Richard Matt, 49, on June 6. Matt was shot and killed near Malone, NY, during a massive manhunt that combed the upstate wilderness.

Police believed Sweat was with him but had no evidence to confirm it. Police had said for days Sweat was confined, and it was just a matter of time before they uncovered his position. They had been using search dogs to track his scent, but the dogs could not locate it.

State police reported the two fugitives were trying to make their way to Canada. Police faced concerns that the men may have armed themselves with hunting rifles after finding DNA evidence in a cabin near Mountain View, NY, which is 14 miles from where Matt was fatally shot.

Matt was said to have stolen a 20-gauge shotgun from a cabin. Police said he was found to be suffering from what they believed to be food poisoning. An autopsy showed he had been shot in the head three times.

The cabin was equipped with a television, and authorities think the pair may have been able to watch news coverage of the manhunt.

The two escaped killers - described as extremely dangerous by New York State Police - are believed to have used power tools to escape the prison. The fugitives entered a two-foot pipe in the prison and exited from a manhole on the other side of the jail's walls.

NPR reported the governments of New York and Vermont worked closely in tandem during the search for Matt and Sweat. Some schools in the area of the prison canceled classes both due to safety and because police set up roadblocks, shutting down some routes to class.

The escape from the maximum-security facility has prompted authorities to seek for accomplices. Cuomo said the feat would have required assistance.

One theory swirling around the breakout involves a prison worker who worked regularly with Matt and Sweat.

Joyce Mitchell, a sewing instructor in the prison's tailor shop, was arrested Friday, June 12, and charged with helping the two escape. She pleaded not guilty in court on June 15.

Mitchell, 51, of Dickinson Center, New York, faces felony charges of aiding escape, promoting prison contraband and providing material assistance. Law enforcement sources said she gave hacksaw blades to the inmates, as well as eyeglasses with lights attached to them.

Investigators said Mitchell had a history of improper behavior with the prisoners, and she allegedly entered a sexual relationship with Matt.

An anonymous source told CNN that the escapees were planning to kill Mitchell's husband. The prison worker reportedly backed out of aiding the fugitives escape because she said she still loved her husband.

Investigators said that Mitchell was going to drive the convicted murderers seven hours away before she got cold feet.

According to NBC News, Joyce admitted herself to the hospital on June 6 because of "nerves." She was arraigned on charges in connection to the case June 12.

Severe weather causes major damage across Michigan

The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado touched down in Washtenaw County, specifically the Freedom Township area.



NWS issued a Tornado Warning for that area just before 1:30 a.m. and it ran until 2:15 a.m.



Officials from the NWS do have to go out and survey the damage, but they said there was circulation that reached to the ground, and there was damage consistent with a tornado.



A confirmed tornado touched down in Millington, Mich., located in Tuscola County, about 80 miles north of Detroit. At least four homes were destroyed in that area. There was also another probably tornado in Sanilac County, and near Manchester in Washtenaw County.



This comes after a confirmed EF-1 tornado touched down for about 10 minutes in Portland, Mich. on Monday afternoon . It caused extensive damage in the town, located about 20 miles northwest of Lansing.



Officials say 70 homes, three churches and a dozen businesses sustained serious damage.



In all, there could be 4-5 tornadoes that touched down between Monday afternoon and early Tuesday morning across the state. Usually, according to Rexroth, Michigan sees 8-9 tornadoes in an entire year.



Damage from the tornadoes and severe storms across the region include localized flooding, uprooted trees, downed power lines and damage to buildings.
