Thirsty Thursdays: Gordon Beer

Having forsaken just all micro and other hand crafted beers for BBC I came across another beer at my favorite Packy from the same makers of Old Chub, Oskar Blues Brewery. I couldn't get over was how a can of beer could taste so good! I guess that is why on the top of the can it says [con'o bliss, satisfy ya.] OMG is this beer, and calling it beer seems insulting, because you can't compare this with a Bud or a Miller. Apparently, this brew is named after a local deceased, Colorado Beer celebrity, Gordon Knight.

When Sam Koch talks about a full bodied aroma in his beer, it pales in comparisson to Gordon's Beer. It's like a cross between the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale and BBC's Lost Sailor. I would call it a double IPA. Similarly to Old Chub, one can of Gordon Beer packs a nice kick, 8.7% abv! I never new beer out of a can could taste this good!

Speaking of Old Chub, check out this wondrous shot of a cooler full of Old Chub and Grandma's Yellow Pils (another brand from Oskar) which I came across on a blog called Adventures of Lidarman. Nice!
