Ever since coming across New South Beer brewed here in Myrtle Beach; I do my best to purchase their White Ale whenever I indulge in beer drinking.
Every now and then though I will stray from my usual and sample something new. While in my local Piggly Wiggly the other day; I found myself meandering down the beer isle. I had a hankering for something cold and something new.
Sometimes my blind purchases work out quite well, as in the case with New South Beer and sometimes it's not at all what I was expecting. Like the time I saw cans of Guinness on the shelf and the midnight black cans looked so classy; I was drawn to them. Brought it home, took a swig, and spit it into the sink. It tasted like a melted down Cuban cigar. I've never tasted a Cuban cigar, but it's what I imagined one would taste like were it liquefied.
I actually chose the beer because I have a friend in England who brags on stout beers and I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about.
As a result...I'm a little skittish these days when it comes to tasting new beer, but I'm not a fan of predictability and so I venture into the uncharted beer waters now and then.
The packaging of the Flying Dog beers are what caught my eye. They made me chuckle and I love that they prominently display the percentage of alcohol. (doesn't take much to please this gal)
I went with the Doggie Style brew first.
All I can say is that if you enjoy great craft beers...you'll love this. It's not wimpy, sweet and watered down, but is robust and hearty.
Bottoms Up!
