Got the chance to have a very simple, delicious beer today. Have had it a few times before... always enjoying it. In fact when I went to the LHBS the guy said "Allagash doesn't do anything bad." Very true for today's beer, the Allagash White.

The last time I had this brew was right around the time I started this beer blog, and I paired this brew up against a reuben sandwich. It was fantastic. The sandwich, the beer, and the combo of the two. The best way to describe this beer is to call it a Blue Moon but wayyyy better. Its a Belgian White style brew that is very easy drinking.

I haven't had very many beers from this style before, but I can say that I've never really been disappointed. Another brew in this style that you might be familiar with is Hoegaarden, which I happen to find awesome. I don't really have much else to say about this one because its just simply good.

One thing to note, beer-wise, is that Belgian Whites are also known as 'witbiers'. I think terms like that are cool. Witbier. And the best part is that the W is actually pronounced like a V. So, vit-beer. It's fun to say.... try it. Just not out loud because people might look at you funny.
