This last Friday, 8/6, I went to the Old German Beer Hall and had the Hoffbrau Original with my lunch (I had the Weisswurst). The sausage had subtle seasoning and went very well with the Hoffbrau Original. It is a pale beer with a nice clean flavor. It's what I would consider "light bodied", and it went down easy. I don't think I'd pair it with any heavily seasoned foods, rich sauces or anything with too strong of a flavor. I liked it.
In the evening, while running some errands, I stopped by Southridge Mall in Greenfield to pick something up for the house and then I stopped into the World Market. I like world market's beer and wine selection. It's not what I would consider big, and they carry a lot of standard items, but it's also a little easier to find some imports than you would find in many grocery store liquor departments. Originally, I thought of getting a build-your-own six pack, but then I saw they had a summer beer 9 pack that included Tyranena Brewing Co. Three Beaches Honey Blonde, Sierra Nevada Summerfest, Blue Moon Honey Moon, Lake Front Brewery White Beer, Breckenridge Brewery SummerBright Ale, Capital Brewery Fest, Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, Samuel Adams Summer Ale and Point Brewery Nude Beach.
I already have Summer Shandy, but I've got friends that will drink it (and maybe I'll try it again), Summer Ale (I like it, so an extra isn't a bad thing) and White Beer (I've never had it, the one I've got in the fridge is from the Lakefront Brewery sample pack I'd bought. I figure if I like it, there's no harm in having a second on hand.) - but I've never had any of the others.
So I picked it up. I love sample packs of beer.
