Oooooooo - I like black pepper! Wheredja get it?
Actually my wife picked it up for me at Trader Joe's. Whenever she sees a beer that sounds like it would be weird, she buys it and I end up loving it. She saw "Farmhouse Ale with peppercorns" and figured that's weird enough for me. Her streak is unbroken.

WHOA! That's a great find. Hm. Was it the Warwick Trader Joe's, or one of the MA ones? I never thought to go there for beer. Duly noted!

She always goes to Foxborough, they don't sell booze in the Warwick one.

Tried this recently. I liked it a lot but I thought that they should have made the flavours stronger. I feel like they made it mild so that it would appeal to more people.

I have no idea what I'm looking at, but I want it in my belly RIGHT NOW!
It's a rye brown ale from a local place and it's delicious. Nutty and spicy! Yum.

Good news - got one of these this weekend:
Bad news - it's for a friend's housewarming gift.

[rant] Why is it that American breweries (and liquor stores) only carry imperial-double-holy-shit-this-will-knock-your-teeth-out versions of any beer style? Whether its an IPA, a stout, a Belgian/trappist or whatever, Americans as a whole only seem interested in the most extreme expression of any beer style. If I just want a nice, balanced, well-made English bitter or a delicious Mild or German Alt or Vienna lager, or hell, even a fucking nice Munich-style lager, they're mother impossible to find. But if I want to find a mother-nutpunch-triple-IPA, or a 15% alcohol triple imperial stout, or a Belgian Quintuple, that's what everyone seems into. It's like as Americans, we are addicted to everything being fucking EXTREME. It's not enough for something to just be well-crafted and balanced and enjoyable. It would be like if the only types of porn you could get were DVDA-tranny-rape-gangbang with 500 dwarves.
Lol. Pretty true, but I'm totally ok with it. Only because I like really strong and bitter beers. They've always been my favourite. It's very rare that I want anything else.

I sure could have used a few easier beers yesterday. It's SF Beer Week around here, and Sierra Nevada did a tap-takeover at Beer Revolution. Forty-eight Sierra Nevada beers, and there was a few big'uns in there. (The whiskey I later chased it with didn't exactly help.)
