In Massachusetts, They Drink Beeeer


Well, Little Asian spent her weekend in Mass, visiting the sister in law up there. Much beer was talked about, drank and discussed. For a long time now, beer has been the new wine. Beer is much more than PBRs and Bud Lights we've been stupidly sloshing down our throats for years (mind you, Little Asian still likes how cheap those drinks are so she'll keep sloshing them back). It's interesting how we get older, that drinking transforms itself into the taste and complexity of what we're drinking. There's an art to creating such a taste and there's a world of people learning to appreciation that art.

Little Asian will never claim to be a drinking intellect, and she might get a tad cross eyed when the Husband drones on about Saisons. But Little Asian does appreciate the world of beer out there and she's up to trying anything from that world outside of her limited knowledge. So here's to exploring the more beer (within the means of Little Asian's wallet though).

New beers I like so far:
Ommegang Wiite
Prima Pils (Recommended by the sister in law)
Allagash White

Got a beer Little Asian might like? Suggest it my way.

allagash white and ommegang witte are both examples of belgian whites so you should look for other breweries that put out the same style. did you like sixpoint's 8 days of wheat? that's a classic german wheat, which is similar too, but less spiced, than belgian whites, and most breweries put out at least one or the other.
