Bacon Beer
So, last night I was at the beer store…
…as I’ve aptly dubbed the Canals in Mt. Ephraim due to it’s fantastical selection of beer. Matt the Beer Guy and I were discussing the options, when I stumbled across a bottle of what Matt the Beer Guy referred to as “the bacon beer”

I’ve been actually trying to find this beer for a while now. No dice.
Also, I regret to inform you that you’re now one anti-bacon sentiment away from being permanently banned from the site. You behave, now.
I’m not anti-bacon by any means of the word. I’m just not crazy about it. Come ON! I’ve posted two, count’em, two fabulous bacon posts up here.
To assist in your search, there is at least one bottle at the Canals in Mt. Ephraim on the Black Horse Pike, it’s maybe 5 or 10 minutes from where Sammy/Christina live. You need to try it and give me full feedback. Matt the Beer Guy suggested that you split it with another person as it’s pretty heavy and that it “tastes like breakfast”, whatever that means.
I have definitely had a rauchbier before (not sure if it was this one or not), and it tasted nothing like bacon in my opinion. It was definitely a very intense flavor, and it was served out of a cask (i.e. not frosty cold) so none of the subtleties were masked at all. Instead of bacon, I would say this beer tasted more like a bock beer that a bunch of people put their cigarettes out in.
That said, I don’t necessarily associate bacon and smoke, which is probably because I really haven’t been exposed to anything other than cheap supermarket bacon.
Also, I can’t wait to pop open my bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops
