beer me

sierra nevada beers finally seems to be getting easier to find around here. once hidden away in speciality offies, you can regularly find their pale ale and celebration in the local supermarket.

a speculative drop in to oddbins last week found two new treats:

esb - an early spring beer
bigfoot - a barleywine style ale

the esb is bee-yoo-tiful. hoppy, but not too hoppy. like pale ale ++

was a bit wary of the bigfoot (as you should be) and i left it in the fridge overnight 'til sunday to work myself up to it. malty, hoppy and strong at 9.6% - a little ott for me.

mondays are meant for hangovers.
