Beer choices are a good thing. Here we have a picture of a 24-hour convenience store collection of beer. It ranged in price from about 30 cents up to a dollar or two. Notice there’s some Budweiser, Heineken, Tuborg, and other popular beers. It was a good, basic fundamental beer selection. Unfortunately, it wasn’t cold.

Side Pocket
It’s called Side Pocket High Gravity Ale. It’s brewed by City Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin, United States. Beer Advocate rates it a "D" class beer and has the word "Avoid" by it. That kinda irritates me because I actually like the stuff. It is along the genre of all those 40 oz malt liquors that sell for a little over a dollar. This one, however, comes in a 24 oz can. They say it has a bigger brother, a 40 oz monster that weighs in at an alcohol-by-volume of 10.5%. Given the fact that I like to drink alone, you can understand why I like really cheap beers that have an of ABV of 8.5%. Face it, some people are destined to appreciate some of the things in life that aren’t so enviable.
Buffalo Sweat
It’s made right down the road in Manhattan, Kansas by the Tallgrass Brewery. It’s supposed to be a cream stout, but you’d never know it. It missed the mark a little. But, it wasn’t half-bad. I’d buy another one, especially at a buck-fifty. Sometimes it’s good to step out of one’s comfort zone.

Grimbergen Blonde Ale
So what’s the very first thing that I normally do when I get home? I open the refrigerator and pull out a beer. This time I pulled out a Grimbergen Blonde Ale, mainly because I was saving the good stuff for later. Or so I thought. But the Grimbergen turned out to be a tasty surprise. The again, maybe it was the days and days and days out on the road without even a hint of a watery pilsner. Anyway, I liked the Grimbergen, even though I’m hardly partial to blonde ales. Anyway, BeerAdvocate rates it a 3,75/5.0 and RateBeer rates it a 3.25/5, neither anything to brag about. It is considered a Belgian Pale Ale with 6.70% ABV. Apparantly, I thought it was a little better than most people do.
