Beer Review Friday - Southern Tier Raspberry Porter

Remember that morning, last summer, when you awoke next to someone you didn’t know, there was a maroon stain on the floor that smelled of vinegar, and your uvula had a new tattoo. That sucked. Southern Tier Raspberry Porter is nothing like that morning. Instead, this porter is an effervescent beer that, unlike common dark and heavy porters, is a smooth and easy beer that doesn’t overwhelm your throat or stomach.

An ale brewed with the finest North American barley. Raspberry Porter is lightly hopped with the choicest Pacific Northwest grown hops. Pleasant roast and chocolate-like notes give this beer a sweet and subtle body while its rich creamy head compliments its character. This delicate and smooth beer is finished with a hint of raspberries and is certain to become your holiday favorite!

Fuck and yes.

After drinking this at a bar beer tasting my stomach got an erection. Oh, and bar beer tastings are awesome if you have a bar with a good happy hour and a kickass staff. Just ask for water glasses, order beers for the table, and tip your waitress generously. Do this during happy hour and you get to taste a ton of beers for not that much, and you don’t have to clean up.

Ok, here’s the bullshit. This porter is technically a winter seasonal. I know, I know, but there is plenty left because people are idiots and they haven’t snapped this beer up fast enough. So stop nerding out on the internet and go get some delicious beer.

Listen, this beer goes well with meat. If you drink this with meat it’s like eating a meat cake in a good way and not the bad way. Enjoy.
