Remember that?
Well, tonight, we were hopping back and forth between Gotham and Monday Night Foosball, and there was a Sam Adams commercial. And The Bhoy-o mentioned that he'd like to try a Sam Adams. So I told him I'd get some Oktoberfest, because hey, Sammy makes a darn good Oktoberfest, and I might as well have a sixer of it in the fridge, right?
But then, encouraged by his interest, I tried an experiment. I've got a fiver of FedoraDave's American Ale kegged, and while I've had my difficulties with this maiden voyage, tonight's draw looked encouraging. So I took a small taster glass, drew a sample, and let him have it.
He actually thought it was pretty good! So I'm thinking here's the dealio....
His first beer was a craft lager; an amber lager, so the malt bill (and I'm sure the hops bill) is more involved. Not so with FD's AmAle. It's nearly a SMaSH brew, with the majority 2-row tempered by a small amount of Carapils and some rye malt, and Simcoe hops used exclusively.
He just may prefer KISS beers. And that's perfectly all right. And I've got a couple of those in the recipe book....
