Sam Adams White Ale isn't worthy of consideration by the Academy

David and I split a bottle left over from the night before while I popped in a TRUE GRIT screener, hallelujah! 

The white ale is light with hints of citrus and orange but it's surprisingly bitter. Ehhhh not a huge fan. Same with the flick, though must be noted I had large expectations for the film. I loved the script but thought the Coen Bros must cut much of their signature dark humor out. However, Jeff Bridges gives a nomination worthy performance and Josh Brolin's small role was executed perfectly. White Ale = THE ISLAND rating.

I also saw THE FIGHTER the night before. Christian Bale and Amy Adams give amazing performances and Bale is a shoo-in for an award. I wanted a little more from the fights but all-in, a great film. Worthy of your $10.
