An ode to ale...

What I'm about to admit to feels almost sacrilegious to me, but I'll go ahead and suck it up and just say it: I'm in love with an American..... beer.

I will fully cop to being a snob about certain things: coffee, ketchup, laundry detergent (only Tide will suffice in this house) and beer. I love my Canadian microbrews. I've always been a big fan of the St Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale (Montreal), but I think I've found a new favorite. And it's brewed in the ol' U S of A (but at least it's West Coast USA).

Pyramid Apricot Ale is similar to the above, but just a bit sweeter. As someone who loves reislings and gewurztraminers (fruity white wines), I love fruity beer too. As summer draws to a close and we enjoy these last few warmish days of summer, I will indulge in my right to enjoy a wobbly pop in the late afternoon on a Saturday. Cheers!
