New Beer Sunday (week 433)

First beer ever from this brewery. Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero. An excellent imperial stout. So many flavors, but still very easy drinking, since they are so well blended. Perhaps not as intense as I hoped it would be, but nonetheless, if their other brews are this good, then I need to try them for sure.

 

Some friends and I were thinking of going a couple years ago, and I noticed that, at the time, Rocky Coulee had some of their brews in the beer garden. Not so anymore?

 

When it was in town, 1 store had it for $4.19 a bottle and when I reviewed it, I really liked it. But...the more I drank it, the less i liked it and now that it's gone, I'm not that sad.

 

Judging by the Belgian nature of some of your choices this week, I'm wondering if you were at Brouwers, or is there a new Belgian-oriented bar up in your corner of the state

 

One of my locals, The Copper Hog, has a tap list that rotates fairly regularly. Combine that with the facts that they let me put NASCAR on TV, and service industry folks get a discount all day, on everything, on Sundays, means that if I've got nothing else going on, I generally fire up the laptop and do NBS from the bar. They do great breakfast/brunch specials on the weekends, I highly recommend The Hog to anyone visiting the 'Ham.

 

Not that I saw. For the Rocky Coulee beers go the the Odessa Deutschesfest in September.
