Liquid Bread Reviews

Wherein I review random beer, and compare beer to bread a lot.

Blue Buck, Phillips Brewing Company, 5.0%

I’m not going to lie, I grabbed this one purely due to the label. Something about it screams silkscreened summer camp t-shirts. It’s brewed in Victoria, B.C., and I love the little disclaimer “No ruminant mammals were harmed in the brewing of this beer”. I’m pretty sure that it’s tongue-in-cheek, but a little part of me is wondering if ruminants are commonly harmed in the making of beer, and if i should be looking out for that... Oh deer.

Otherwise, it’s not too hoppy, very mellow, medium bronze ale. I won’t remember the taste when I’m finished the can, but I’ll probably buy it again. If it were bread, it would be homestyle white, but from a breadmaker.

Green Apple Beer, Nickel Brook Brewery Co. 4.0%

 I think this is possibly the lightest beer I’ve ever tasted. I’ve had a lot of beers, and coffee and wine that claim to flavours I can’t even remotely discern. This tasted genuinely of apple juice, without being a cider at all. Definitely serve cold, possibly over ice. It’s a pretty perfect summer beer. I’m going to try and get my non-beer drinking friends to give it a shot.

If it were bread, it wouldn’t be bread. It would be an apple cinnamon bagel. Toasted, with butter.
