wing Company Firestone Lager Hello everyone Rashad Fenton Jersey nfl draft , and welcome to another edition of the Beer of the Week!As always, the Beer of the Week is originally presented on the Arrowhead Pride Tailgate on 610 Sports Radio as part of my “Defense and Beer of the Week” segment.With a long holiday weekend in front of us, I decided this week to forgo some of my typical fare of double-dry hopped IPAs, big stouts, and funky belgians to give you, the Arrowhead Pride reader, a perfectly drinkable beer that everyone will enjoy.This week’s Beer of the Week is Firestone Walker Brewing Company Firestone Lager!A 4.5% ABV Helles Lager, Firestone Lager is an utterly crushable beer for a long weekend around the grill or on the lake.

With 17 IBUs, this beer has just a sprinkling of Hallertau Tradition, Spalter Select, and Saphir hops, all low-alpha acid German hops.Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado or a staunch domestic beer drinker, Firestone Lager is definitely up your alley.Firestone Walker Brewing Company was formed by two brothers in law, a winemaker and an expat (The Bear and the Lion) in 1996 in Paso Robles, California. They use a variation of the Burton Union system for brewing, an old oaken barrel fermentation system that only two brewers in the world utilize to this day for commercial brewing. This gives their beers a distinct characteristic in a market full of similar brewing styles.Firestone Walker is an easy favorite for me Authentic Rashad Fenton Jersey , touting aggressive IPAs in their Leo V. Ursus line and their Luponic Distortion series. Their flagship Double Barrel Ale is one of my all-time favorites, and their Barrelworks series is chock full of amazing Wild Ales and Sours.Good, clean lagers don’t get enough play in the craft beer market, with craft breweries trying to distance themselves from “Big Beer” similarities.

Russo-USA TODAY Sports6’2” | 250 lbs | HawaiiProjected draft range: day threeCombine: didn’t participate due to shoulder injuryI would take him: round fiveOne-sentence bio: two-time All-American in rugby, three-time All-Mountain West nomineeOne-sentence scouting report: versatile linebacker that can set the edge Travis Kelce Jersey , drop into coverage and is an effective blitzerOne play:How he fits in KC: Tavai is an ideal depth candidate for Kansas City in 2019. His comfort level as a rush SAM, MIKE and WILL linebacker in a 4-3 Under system make him a perfect player to groom behind the Chiefs starters. He has good range and exceptional short-area quickness. This quickness allows him to trigger downhill and meet the ball carrier with full force in the gap. He’s long enough to set the EDGE in the run game and will give little ground against blocking tight ends. In man coverage, he shows plenty of ability to drop and carry players vertically, as well as being able to kick out into the flats against a running back. He regularly disrupts the quarterback with his blitzing ability, making him a good fit with Spagnuolo’s higher blitz tendencies.Tavai is coming off of a serious shoulder injury and teams will have to monitor it to make sure that he’s healthy enough to contribute in 2019. While he’s good in man coverage, he struggles a little bit with his spot drops in zone. He tends to squeeze other zones and drops to an “exact” spot, rather than reading and flowing with the play. He will need work with deconstructing blocks between the tackles, as offensive linemen tend to stick on him and take him out of the play. He’ll also need to work on squaring up and anchoring when making the tackle — too often the ball carrier was able to gain extra yards going through Tavai.There are a lot of question marks about the Chiefs linebacking corps, and even more [url=www.http://www.thechiefsclub.com/tyreek-hill-jersey/]Tyreek Hill Jersey[/url] , going forward in 2020. Tavai is a talented player that could definitely up the quality of the group and offer a starting spot at the SAM linebacker position in the future. He would likely be a special teams player in 2019, but his upside and potential contribution are precisely what the Chiefs should be looking for in a day three pick.Want to read more player profiles from Arrowhead Pride’s 25 Days of Draftmas?
