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.

Unibroue Chambly. Yes please

Part of our Unibroue variety pack, Chambly is the white ale that serves as the base for the apple infused Ephemere we disliked so much Friday evening. Righteousness prevails!

Chambly is a delight

Chambly is delicious. Clean and crisp and pours with minimal head.  Not too heavy, not too light, it's medium bodied and just right. White ales are interesting because across the board, it's one of the few beers even picky beer drinkers will order at a bar (looking at you ladies). This is an excellent choice and a great alternative to Hoegaarden. Welcome to THE ROCK.
