This is a place for beer, politics and random geeky shit. Despite the name we are actualy not snobbish at all around here.

Grand Cru
If you haven't had Rodenbach Grand Cru and you like sour things, you simply must go find this beer immediately. If you can get ahold of the harder-to-find and more expensive "2007 Vintage" version, even better.
Then you might like this, it's not bitter at all. It's big and malty with a sour finish. If you don't like sour stuff though, you'd hate this. It's a Flanders style ale which is really quite different than beer we typically get in the states.
It is interesting to see people warm up to some of these sour styles. They're actually typically pretty old and traditional beers, we just haven't had access to them in the US. Many of the best ones tend to pair really well with food, and can actually be a good introduction for wine people into beer culture.
Too drunk to get to the store.
ReplyDeletenot a huge fan of really bitter beer.
