We're just in from a beer and commissary run out to Cannon Airplane Patch and we saw this while we were perusing the beer selection:
New Belgium has gone batshit-crazy with their Lips o' Faith series of occasional brews and you can see there's a LOT of opportunity to broaden our horizons on the shelf! That said, I bought just one bomber... the "Cigar City Brewing" one... which is ale brewed with two different kinds of chiles. As for the rest of 'em? I think NB may be tryin' too hard. I'm not gonna buy a beer where I have to google the contents to find out what's in it... like Yuzu and Pluot juice... not to mention dandelion greens. Say what?
OTOH, I give big props to the Class VI store's management for stocking lots and lots of good beers. The Class VI has the best beer selection in both Clovis and P-Ville.
Now if you'll excuse me... I hear the verandah calling.

I've had pluots. They're really good. But I don't like the idea of them in my beer.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. There are precious few fruity beers I like.
DeleteWhen I was in Germany in the 80's I had to choose between beer and wine, and traveling trips were mostly along the Rhine and Moselle, so I chose to eat steak, sausage, schnitzel, frankfurters and then chase it with wine. I've only been to Munich once, but I have never tasted beer as good. The beer up north was cut with imported Schlitz I think :-) The most horrendous brew ever served to me was in Lossiemouth, Scotland. The barkeep called it their best. I wrote it off as a practical joke on stupid tourists.
ReplyDeleteMy European beer drinking was largely confined to the UK and I had some pretty good brews up in Scotland... the Scottish "Heavy" being particularly memorable. I personally like Brit beer a lot more than German beer, which tends to have a lot to offer lager drinkers but not much for us ale aficionados.
DeleteThat is an outstanding selection!
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too!
