Woof. Yesterday’s post was… well, not heavy, but certainly not fun. And definitely not festive. So I aim to rectify that today by doing Beer Exchange Day 3. It will be fun, it will be festive, it will have a beverage. Perfect post, am I right?
Hooray!
Now, I must admit that I did not do anything too special while drinking this beer. I was a little bit behind on the Christmas advent puzzle that T bought me. (And by “a little”, I mean “I started it on the third day of December”.) So I started the beer while completing the first three days worth of the puzzle.
Beer Exchange Day 3
Beer 3 was Claire’s beer and long-time fans know that Claire picks her beers based on the label and sometimes they are wild. Often delicious, but sometimes wild.
This year was delicious, but somehow not wild! Claire hit up longtime favourite of the blog, Eighty-Eight Brewing, and selected a small batch lager, City Pop. This is where I would normally link to their website and all the details… but City Pop isn’t even on their website! That is how special this beer is! It is a rice lager, sweet and crisp, without a touch of bitterness. The perfect little beer for a casual night at home with a puzzle and some holiday vlogs.
I’m curious! What do you think about rice lagers? Do you find them to be an elevated lager or overrated or somewhere in between? I love hearing about different people’s tastes!
