There you go Potlatch. That's what I was about to say. I cant deal with more than a smallish glass of most of those Belgians. They are just very sweet to my anti sugar in all its guises pallet.
The problem is, I have become a massive beer snob.
I didnt realise it at first, I just thought I was buying nice beers "as a special treat", but then I noticed that I couldnt drink Budweiser. No big deal you might say. But, its the thin end of the wedge chaps. Next thing was Coronas were off the menu, and before I knew where I was it wasnt so much what was off the menu, as what was on the menu.
There would be all sorts of beer in the fridge, Bass, Heineken, etc, and I just wont touch it. Even if I am gagging for a drink. Then I would relent, and open a bottle, and drink about 3 mouthfuls of it, and then leave it somewhere. Shocking form.
Now I wont touch anything that is not bone dry and hoppier than fuck. Although I will just about go for any Indian Pale Ale, I am a big fan of this local brewery here with its Hop Hazard brew.
"A Strong 5 Hop Blend that is Perfectly Balanced by a Malt Rich Body. Freshly Dry-Hopped India Pale Ale."
Yes, they keep it in the fridge. It's supposed to be kept at "cellar temperature" but I doubt it would make too much difference as long as they're not kept there too long. I find it a bit annoying that they serve it at that temperature. It kills off the taste a good bit and I wonder if the beer is wasted on people who drink it cold.
