Oh boy Oh boy!
Spent our 46th up in 'Beerkshires'
She who must be obeyed in the antique shops
I in the microbreweries.
The good Muslim goes to Mecca
The good Jew goes to Jersualem
The good Catholic goes to Rome
Bullard goes to the 'Beerkshires'.
If any of the Brothers are up that way go to the 'Big Elm' microbrewery in Sheffield, Mass. They brew what is quite possibly the very best 'Nut Brown English Country Ale' ever. You may as well be a Yorkie or in the west country before you will get any the better. Their offering is 'Red Lion', which is sold as a house ale for the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Mass. 'Red Lion Inn' has been in business since 1773; the great Washington stayed there once.
Red Lion Ale is a 'Nut Brown' minimally filtered unpasteurized English Country Ale. Unpasteurized beer is "the only" way to drink; shelf life is only about 60 days so somebody has got to drink [a hard task]. But, your taste buds will reward You. It is not a Heffeweizen, but close. It is the closest you will ever come to drinking a loaf of really good bread, malty very slightly hopped [a characteristic of English ales] with a wonderful 'wheaty' finish to it. DO NOT Ice this beer down; that's like saying 'American Samurai sword'. It just doesn't translate. Let it sit a bit, warm to just "slightly cool"; pour a Pint. The head is tight [natural brew carbonization] and creamy, another characteristic of beers and ales from the British Isles. With an Old English Roast Beef it is a full and satisfying meal, a bit of grilled parsnip, broiled potato, shallot, and carrot, and a Claret reduction it is a 'Red Lion' standout. . With a bowl of your favorite [Virginia Red Cake] or 'Dark English' it is as close a you can come to dope and not have it called that, a very full satisfying experience on a cold winter's day afternoon.
Beer, Beer, Beer, glorious Beer
Fills you right up to Here
Oh drink til' yer' full of it
So Drink til' yer' made of it
And Drink Beer, Beer Glorious Beer
