Thanks to everyone who came out for the second "First Friday."
For those who couldn't make it, there's always next month (Jan. 2 @ 7:45 p.m.).
The most-talked about December 2008 beers included:
He'Brew (Shmaltz Brewing)
Probably the most popular beer of the night.
> Smooth, satisfying, not bitter. I generally don’t like beer and I like this. — Tia
> Smooth and robust
> Smooth with a touch of bitter
> A little bite at the end
> Mmm Mm
Avocadoville home brew
A close runner-up despite the flatness.
> Smooth and tasty despite being a tad bit flat. Good stuff.
> I second that. — Iris
> Organic — Nahoko
> I found one that was not that flat. A great brew.
Lost Coast Great White
Lots of different tastes in this one.
> The first sip tastes like Alka-Seltzer, but after that it’s OK. — Al
> This is really weird, but is has a coconut flavor. — Nahoko
> To me it had an herb flavor. — Iris
> Herbaceous. Maybe influenced by my Cheech & Chong discussion.
Kirin Ichiban
Went head-to-head with Urquell in the regional showdown.
> The beer of MY people — Nahoko
Pilsner Urquell
See above.
> The beer of MY people. — Anna
> Moc dobry! Na Zdravy!
Sierra Nevada Celebration
Kind of a toss-up.
> Fruity good, but I’m not sure I could drink more than one bottle.
> Too much carbonation with a chemical aftertaste. — Brady
Trader Jose
Way down on most people’s list.
> It’s too bland. It needs Tabasco or something. — Al
> A bad version of a boring Mexican beer — Brady
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale
Easily the least favorite beer of the night.
> It’s like drinking a fruitcake.
> Tastes like Jagermeister! Blech!
