Another Day, Another Brew

Having trouble getting this post together today. As was the case with many things throughout this Tuesday, everything seems like a chore.

Was hoping that the beer for today, the Southern Tier Phin & Matt's Extraordinary Ale, would serve as the pick-me-up I needed. While it was good, it simply extra ordinary. It had a medium body and was very drinkable. I think on a different day I would have enjoyed this a whole lot more so I won't hold that against this brew.

By the way: Phin and Matt are two of the founding brewers.

Something I did pick out about P&M was that it had somewhat of a 'doughy' taste. Had to have come from the grains that they used. This flavor helped to make this brew very smooth, but if there were just a slight bit more bitterness from the hops I would say the beer would have been more balanced. But hey, like I said, it was still good.

Southern Tier has quickly become one of my favorite brewers, and I actually have two others that I will be featuring over the next week or so. One of which is one of my all time favorites, and the other is a seasonal that I've yet to try. Very much looking forward to both!
