This review comes from one of our best beer drinking buddies, Marty. He sent me a message last night informing me that the local Walgreen’s has now began selling beer. Big Flats 1901 Lager, from our friends at the Gennessee Brewing co. in Rochester, NY. For only $2.99 a six pack he figured “how bad could it be?” (Oh if only I had a dime for every time I said to myself “how bad could it be?” ) But I guess he just couldn’t resist. So here goes, now keep in mind, these are Marty’s words, not mine. But I do have total faith in his palate.
“They NAILED the color of piss. Aroma of the “Manager’s Special” section in the Kroger meat department. Super thin head, falls immediately. Mouthfeel thinner than water. Crab apple & pennies dunked in rubbing alcohol dominate. 9 volt battery on your tongue finish with an aluminum can aftertaste. Mmm!”
“As far as food pairing, I would recommend this one with greasy foods that’ll coat your tougue. Your taste buds will thank you!!”
Sliders or biscuits and gravy come to mind.
Like I said, I do have faith in his palate so I’m going to simply take his word for it on this one and save myself $2.99. Sorry Marty but sounds like you’re on your own finishing that sixer.
