Drinking Socially - EP 12 - The Heroes of the Beer Shelf
We've all responded to Spring 2020 differently than our New Years' resolution planned for — but one thing that has been undeniable is the increase in our consumption of 'core beers'. The 15 packs, and 24-packs of beers. The purchases normally reserved for a weekend camp trip, or tailgate. This episode we dive into some of the earliest of American Craft and re-visit the beers that paved the way for over 8000 Craft Breweries in the US. As you may expect, they're both amazing examples, and worth picking up the next time you're shopping to stock your fridge.
Correction: In this episode Jon talks about a baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and The Texas Texans. ⚾️ This was a swing and a miss -- the Texas Rangers actually played the Cleveland Indians during the game we reference. (Thanks Chad!)
What We’re Drinking:
Samuel Adams Boston Lager by Boston Beer
https://untappd.com/b/boston-beer-company-samuel-adams-boston-lager/3914
- ABV: 5%
- IBU: 30
- Notes: Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoration mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two-row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops.
Pale Ale by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co
https://untappd.com/b/sierra-nevada-brewing-co-pale-ale/6284
- ABV: 5.6%
- IBU: 38
- Notes: Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.
