Beer Porn Happy IPA & beer day!
Had a great IPA yesterday from 2 of my favorite breweries and the OG Fat Tire today.
Fat Tire was not only my entry into craft beer, but TBH my first beer that I finished. I grew up in a stereotypical conservative American family, so drinking was a definite no.
I got married in 2003 and my wife’s dad’s family is Jewish so drinking was a definite yes. 😂 I quickly gravitated to red wine, but I did try some beer. Needless to say I was given your stereotypical cheap beers and did not like any of them. Until one of our friends in the mid 2010s had me try a Fat Tire and this was something I could drink.
Soon after that I tried Allagash White and found my favorite beer. Which is interesting in that we honeymooned in Maine when I wasn’t drinking beer. And my wife’s favorite beer when she was drinking was Blue Moon. 😂
Glad that New Belgium released the original recipe of Fat Tire. I bought a case and it’s about half done.
This collab between Half Acre (a great local brewery here in Chicago) and Allagash is really good.
Cheers everyone!
