Although Wineyjanet writes about wines (99.9% of the time) there are a few times that writing about beer is appropriate. Today is one of them. Super Bowl Sunday and beer is a match made in heaven and a good time to try new beers while you watch the game.
Beer is not like the beer you use to steal out of your parent’s fridge back when you were a teenager. The new generation of beer (the microbrews) are like wines, they are an amazing art form. It is built with the same use of science and creativity to build phenomenal taste, structure, and flavoring.
We have the basics in the fridge to satisfy any guests who pop over (yes, we have Corona) but here are a few micro beers (my favorite) we will drink at today’s celebration.
Sessions: Made in Oregon (oh how I love that State) and it is one of my all time favorite beer. It's a lager. When poured, it has a good head (that is what you look at in beer learned that from my beer-drinking connoisseur husband). The color is a clear pale-yellow. It is a bit tart and grainy with a bit of a hoppy finish but I love it. It is clean with plenty of carbonation and a dry finish.
Stonewall Ale. A nice light tan head, it smells sweet and a bit darker in color than our Sessions beer. There is a citrus with a honey, caramel and a bit of a hop aroma. It’s a good beer.
Remember, in all the chaos that comes with Super Bowl Sunday, please be careful. Please do not drink and drive. If you’ve had too much to drink, stay put, call a cab, or call a sober friend.
Go Colts!
