Quick Thoughts: Surly Bitter Brewer
November 5th, 2008As I sit here working between various projects I decided I needed a cold one. Sure I have a few imperial stouts I could pop open, but no. Forget that. I need a cold one.
Enter Surly’s Bitter Brewer. This gem was sent to me by Eric at Bearded Brewing and I was immediately intrigued because it’s a pint-sized can. You know my policy on can beer, so there won’t be any mention of smell or appearance this time around.
The beer itself is exactly what it says it is. A generally inoffensive bitter in a can. I must say, I could easily go through a few of these. It’s even easier because it has a handy wide-mouthed opening.
The only part of this beer I have to disagree with is its tag line, “Beer for a glass, from a can.” No beer from a can should ever be poured in a glass. Ever.
Definitely way better than Flat Tire from a can.
