Yesterday, sister Teena and I went for coffee and discovered a treasure chest of beer instead. The Coffee Grounds in Eau Claire, WI has an amazing selection of state, national, and world beers, many in singles.
Last night we sampled the Grand Teton Brewing Company's Bitch Creek ESB. Yes, we bought it for the name! Grand Teton is in Victor, Idaho.
It was a copper color, but delicious. Full, bitter. Not as bitter as I'd like, but still a great taste.
Tonight's sample is from Black Sheep Brewery in Rochester, NY. I bought this one, too, because of its name: Monty Python's Holy Ail Ale. "Tempered over burning witches."
When I first opened it, it smelled like a Dutch lager such as Grolsch. That's pretty good beer, but not my favorite. It looks like a lager as well, very light colored. It has a bit of a bitter after-taste, but there's not much difference between this beer and typical American big-name beer. Not a beer I'd get again.
Apparently, those witches were a little on the skinny side.
Paul,
ReplyDeleteI have the Bitch Creek ESB we go to Victor and Driggs ID every year to ski. Its some good stuff. The workhorse wheat is also very good
Aaron
keep posting your reviews on the beer as you work your way through each of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your return up north so we can try the rest of them.
