A Morning Beer Review!
Black Bear Beer
Which, as I have mentioned here, is my current favorite French craft beer for a number of reasons. Not only does the style tickle my fancy being a heavily chocolate-malted black IPA but it packs a boozy punch at 10.5% ABV. I love mingling around a bar with a glass full of deathly looking brew and Black Bear Beer delivers on more than just aesthetics. There is love in that bottle, you can tell that someone labored over that beer to get the right balance of roasted malt to hop ratio. An entirely smooth drink that goes great with hardy beef dishes, chocolate desserts and tangy bold cheeses.
Alas, much like my first Brasserie de Fleurac review, I got myself a beer that wasn't ready for the reviewing.
Good morning Nitch, go fuck yourself.
That is what I get for drinking in the morning- the universe is trying to tell me something.
'Try another beer'
I've emailed Greg at Brasserie de Fleurac but am still waiting for a response. Hopefully he hears my cries for help and sets me up with some of their beer that I will REALLY be able to show off because hey deserve some positive attention. And so does my mouth. I'm tired of drinking malted wines.
Enjoy the disaster that is

That's a rough morning/evening! Nothing worse than opening a beer you know is great and having something wrong with it. That happened a while ago for me with a 3 Fonteinen, and they aren't cheap here! Well, hopefully they'll get their packaging in order. I'll keep an eye out for them on my next trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to get in touch with the brewery because I hate putting out such horrid reviews of beer that I know can be good. We have it on draft at one of the bars I work at and it's great! But, if they aren't going to work with me then I'm going to have to get upset about it. The craft circle here is so small, everyone knows everyone so hopefully they'll get back to me and help me show off their new stuff.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Love the music you have for this one. Really fits the mood.
ReplyDeleteAre they naturally carbonating their beers or force carbing? They may have issues with their caps.
Thank you, I had issues finding music that suited me for this one- so I'm glad to hear that the choice worked out.
ReplyDeleteI've sent them a few emails now and put out my complaints through the gossip line and have yet to get a response. I would love to know what THEY think the issues is, because it could be a number of things.
Thanks for the feedback!
XOXO
I couldn't resist commenting. Well written!
