Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot makes us say, WTF haven't we heard of you before?

Before I focus on barley, water, hops and yeast concoction commonly referred to as "beer" or "suds" if you still live in 1950's middle america slang, I want to share with you the most amazing jumpsuit your (insert color here) eyes will ever feast upon:
 

She was pilfering through cigar boxes, CIGAR BOXES people. Right off of 3rd street on our way to brunch. What a gem, what a diamond in the rough.

To unwind from a phenomenal brunch, filled with limitless small plates and sake sangria (Zengo), we're decompressing with some suds at Jamie and Aaron's house. We also invited Zach Galifinakas and Robert Downey Jr into our living room for a performance of DUE DATE.

David and I both agree it's a cool label. It's the military call-sign for WTF. Pretty clever. This is very interesting, very unique. It pour a dark brown color and has a very sweet and malty flavor. It finishes a bit nutty, like a brown ale and the 7.8% alcohol rips through as you finish. This is a mix between a Scottish Ale and an American Brown. At first I believe that I couldn't drink a lot of this, and then I realize how big of an idiot I tend to be. I could drink a ton of this! THE ROCK rating

Sierra Nevada Autumn Brown Ale Tumbler, Yum

Saturday afternoon I suggested red meat to go along with our Autumn Brown Ale Tumbler. I helped David create a terrifically ridiculous meal: andouille sausage and beef burger with blue cheese and caramelized onions, topped off a spicy mayo sauce. Savory and sweet and spicy.


This-Was-Amazing. It will also be known as the burger that almost destroyed me.
A supreme heart attack and a half



Onto the beer. I'm only familiar with Sierra Nevada's seasonal Summerfest and Pale Ales (shame one me) but both are superb. This beer is no exception. This Autumn Brown Ale Tumbler pours a beautiful dark brown color. I could not only taste the light hops of a traditional Sierra Nevada but also well-balanced rich caramel and brown sugar flavors typical in an American ale. Delicious. it was perfect for red meat. The beer is a solid ale and while I'm rating it as TRANSFORMERS, I will certainly purchase this again soon.
