Bierthday Gift


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.
