Old School vs. New School – by Mike Casey
Good Day my fellow beer drinkers. I hope everyone has been able to enjoy some of their summer. Last month I mentioned some summer beers available. However, we did not have any newsletter specials. This month I want to offer a challenge. If you choose to accept you will receive a 10% discount on the beers listed below. Over the past year I have discovered the quality of the brews coming from the large lake to the east. Namely the Atlantic Ocean, and the countries involved are Belgium and Germany. It is here that quality beer production has been home to for over a millennia. Most of the beers historically brewed by monks and abbeys. It is just over the past couple of decades that the U.S. has seen the rise of micro-breweries. Many of which are trying to remake the classics with their own personal flair. I have taken the liberty to provide a comparison list of beers from Europe and the U.S. Since it is summer I have chosen lighter beers. Now go forth my friends and try some good brew. |
