Beer Name: Awkward Conversation
Style: Grisette with cranberry and orange
ABV: 4.6%
Color: Lightish reddish orangish something or other
Cheese Pairing: Goat cheese
Food Pairing: Thanksgiving Turkey Tenders (deep-fried turkey tips that have been battered in gravy and breaded in stuffing)
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Trapped Under Ice" by Metallica
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "She Gave Me Hell for Christmas" by the X-Misses
Best Occasion to Drink: Oh, you've got poorly-thought-out political opinions that you think I need to hear? Don't mind me, I'll just be over here drinking heavily.
Brewers' Notes: Now that the days are getting a bit shorter, our thoughts are turning to The Holidays and togetherness and family and whatnot, and that means soon enough we'll be gettin' to make a bunch of *super* awkward small talk with people we see at most once a year. But hey, what goes better with beer than awkward conversation? A lot of things, it turns out.
But still, we figured we'd brew up a tasty little number to help brighten your palate (even if we can't brighten the mood - especially when your older relatives start playing that "medical problem one-upmanship" game that they enjoy so well)! Here's a nice 'n crisp lil' grisette with some seasonally-appropriate fruits (cranberry and orange, of course) that'll treat you right, even through the toughest of family times!
