It has been quite some time since I've posted, let alone a beer post.  After being down and out with some sickness, it is time to get back to some beer!  I went beer shopping for the holiday weekend and only bought beers that I haven't added out here, so look for another 4 in the next few days.  This beer shopping trip was held at Trig's Cellar 70 in Rhinelander.  I think they have gotten MORE beers in there!  I paced up and down the aisles looking at everything!!  All the while wondering how much room was left on the credit cards and wondering how big of an order would I have to place before they would deliver for free...

I took a pic of this beer after I poured it in the glass, just as I normally try to do.  However, today, when I downloaded the picture from my phone, I noticed my camera lens needed cleaning.  I grabbed the bottle out of the recycling box and snapped another picture in front of BIG-ASS-DOG. 

This was a great beer!  I spotted it sitting next to the single bottles of Hacker-Pschorr Weisse.  I grabbed a bottle and a bottle of Weisse.  The warmer this beer got, the better!  By the time I finished the 1/2 liter, I wished I had bought another couple bottles!  Could smell molasses and some kind of fruity something or another in there.  I could not pick the fruit out, it had a sweetish odor, not overly done, a hint.  I wish I could learn how to taste what is in the beer:)  The label boasts 7.5% alc. by volume and it tasted like it.  The 1/2 liter bottle was 2.19 and they had normal 6-packs for about 10 bucks.  This won't become a daily drinker, but it is worthy of being one if I had some more cash, haha.  Gotta boost the Google revenues!
