| Is it just a craft beer at a mass-produced domestic price? |
Missouri Mike is a retired broadcast journalist who lives on the Kansas side of the Mississippi river... he graciously submitts this "Guest Blogging".
Here is a shot of one of my favorite brews which I accidentally came across in "Trader Joe's" the last time we were there. See... over on the MO side because KS, being a staunch right-wing Republican WASP's state... it does not allow alcohol to be sold in grocery stores which is stronger than 3.2% beer. The State Liquor stores are only allowed to open after 1200 on Sundays... this cramps my beer drinking style!
Now one would NORMALLY ask themselves, what do that lot in San Jose, CA know about brewing......since their favorite beer is probably "Corona," or anything "Lite," (which in MY mind is nothing other than piss-flavored club soda). (1.) HOWEVER, this little company has come up with a winner. Slightly sweet, very nutty, and none of the sometimes mouth-puckering bitterness one finds in Guinness (which is my THIRD favorite beer that I can acquire here in the USA... "Boddington's" being the FIRST).
Anyway, if you can find it, give it a try. Sorry for the poor taste in showing this lovely brew in a "Mojito" glass, but the glass is about a pint and a half size, and my Guinness glass is only a pint... and I prefer to pour it all at once, since I am a lazy-arsed glutton, rather that getting out of my comfortable chair to pour the last quarter of a bottle.
Love to your lovely bride,
Missouri Mike

(1.) Editors note: My Happy Eye has no idea what piss-flavored club soda taste's like and assumes in good faith our Missouri Mike is unfamiliar as well; hopefully the comparison was used as a figure of speech... that and "Trader Joe's" craft beers and ales are an in house product sold exclusively at "Trader Joe's" stores nationwide.
