I'm taking a break from movies today to enjoy one of my other great loves, NFL Football. It doesn't matter who's playing, Sunday is reserved for football. What does matter is the choice of brew to accompany the game.
Today I picked up 2 types of beer. First is an old favorite of mine, Black Butte Porter. Deschutes has always impressed with their selection of fine microbrews, with the porters and stouts at the top of my list. Their Black Butte Porter is great and a little deceptive. Like any good porter, it doesn't get bitter when it gets warm and it drinks like a lighter beer. So if you like to nurse your beer, don't have room in your cooler or you just forgot to put it in the fridge, you can still enjoy your bottle of Black Butte.
A nutty roasted malt start, with a chocolate, coffee finish, Black Butte actually goes down best just below room temperature. This medium body Porter really works for almost any occasion. I highly recommend you give it a try.
And for those of you are scared of the dark beers, I also picked up some Widmer Brothers Drop Top Amber Ale. There's not a lot to say about Drop Top, it's a light bodied ale with faint honey tones and minimal hops. A good choice if you don't like bitter beer.It's an all around decent beer if you want to kick back and have a few mellow beer.
So if you want to get your drink on while watching a game, a movie or even just relaxing around the house on a lazy afternoon, grab either of these beers and you shouldn't be disappointed.
