Autumn beers rock

For beer lovers, the Fall can not be beat. Friday, I tried Blue Moon's Pumpkin Ale. I consider Blue Moon's flagship beer, the witbier, to be a decent drinkable option when there isn't a lot of choice. The Pumpkin Ale, is a good beer. Not my favorite Pumpkin (Dogfish Head takes that one) but very good, and very drinkable. I bought a sixer and by the time the game was over, there wasn't a single one left. I only had two, the other four got stolen along with the cooler as it was in from the back of Scott's truck. Oh and USF lost a heartbreaker to Rutgers 22-20.

Tonight, I tried one of the Sam Adams Brewer Collection beers. The "Root Beer". You know that it is different from the moment you crack open the bottle and take a whiff. There are some beers just so unique, you have to try them even though you may not want to drink more than half a bottle. This one joins these two on that list

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot - This is a barley wine that is interesting but ultimately undrinkable. For people that enjoy hot sauces, they may enjoy this analogy. You get some hot sauce and love it, only to find out there is an even hotter version of the same sauce. So you try that, and are just loving life. What's that? An even hotter one? Then you realize, at this point, it is interesting, but you can't eat your chicken wings now. It is kind of like that. Or perhaps I am just not worthy.

Duchesse Du Bourgogne - A Flemish Red which is like a Cherry Lambic, an ofest, and champagne all blended together, delicious, but 8 ounces is plenty and not something you want to have with "football food".
