Back on my birthday, Brad hooked me up with a sampler of New Glarus beers. Samplers are something that he’s been putting together for people, and it’s a brilliant idea. So simple that I’m not sure why I never thought of it. He’ll buy a number of six packs (or twelve packs) and then he assembles sampler six-packs. For my birthday he gave me:
- Hearty Hop Ale - India Pale Ale
- Back 40 bock - Wisconsin Bock
- Black Top Beer - Black IPA
- Road Slush Stout - Oatmeal Stout
- Cabin Fever Lager - Wisconsin style Honey bock
- Laughing fox Beer - Kristal Weizen
Honestly, it’s a nice mix and there are some seriously tasty beverages, most of which I haven't had before. I think we should all follow Brad’s example and start giving beer as gifts.
