Another beer tasting

[livejournal.com profile] nynomi, this one's for you! Are you familiar with the microbrew Saranac? They are in Utica, NY. That's just 135 miles from you according to Mapquest. I will warn you that I have been screwed over by Mapquest twice before. I am enjoying a black ale called "Black Forest." It is malty and sweet, but I like them that way. They have all kinds of brews...

One of my new favorites is MacTarnahan's Highlander Pale Ale. The brewery is in Portland, but it is just what you want in a pale ale. Refreshing and complex...

Finally, Vergina is the only beer from Greece I have ever seen. I had to try it. The beer is just a lager and nothing special, except that is from Greece!

Today I eventually motivated myself to go biking. I did my Lakeview Lake run and saw a vulture in the road nibbling on a HUGE fish. How did the fish get in the road? I have no idea, it was way too big for the vulture to have fished out of there.

Wait, I just checked their website and it claims Saranac isn't available in your area. Where did you get it?

Saranac

I got it at Jensen's, this little hole-in-the-wall liquor store next door to Joe's Bakery on 9th. They always have an unbelievable selection. I don't know how they got it, but I will scan the bottle for you if you don't believe me! ;-)

I believe you. I'm glad you can get it there. I remember that store!
