the beer thread

One of the main beers in Cuba was called Cristal - so, like true gangsters, we sat back drinking Cristal all the time, feeling the prestige.  Rather equivalent to a Budweiser type beer and not at all recommended.  On the other hand, another beer, Bruja, was quite delightful and highly recommended.

so everybody who purchases "shoals", gets a bottle as well in the package, right? or does it come only with "shoals(edition)?

[taylordeupree]

that would truly be excellent...

haven't chilled the SHoals yet.... but tonight had a Morimoto Black Obi from Rogue Brewing Co.
