One of the things I hate about PA is the arduous task of buying beer. It's not in the grocery store or gas stations. You need to go a beer distributor and beer is only sold by the case. What if you don't like the beer when you take it home? You're stuck with a whole bunch of yuck. You can always go to the six pack store where you will pay around $20 for a six pack. ROBBERY! Luckily the beer distributor we went to had a leave one take one policy. We left one of our tasty sour ales and took this Sly Fox Christmas Ale. The can describes it as an "Ale with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg & cloves" Nate and I split it for a pre-dinner cocktail. It was tasty and flavorful but I couldn't drink more than one much less and whole case. Good luck to the guy who bought the rest.
I love seasonal changes and items that come during special times of the year. Beer usually fits with the seasonal vibe. Polar Seltzer has started debuting seasonal flavors. My favorites are often the summer limited edition flavors but I am willing to try the winter ones. Polar seltzer is tough to find in the Philly area but a couple of Giant and Wegmans seem to stock them. I have only found the limited edition flavors at Wegmans which is a 40 minute drive. I headed out one drizzly day in search of the seasonal flavors. I did my research and knew what I wanted, the new popular strawberries and champagne flavor that Polar just put out. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that Wegmans had ALL the flavors EXCEPT the one I want! WHY ME!!!! Since I drove all the way out there I decided to grab one of the other flavors and give it a try. It's so bizarre to crack open a seltzer and smell the alluring scent of fudge cheesecake. The first sip actually tasted like it too. After that it was all downhill. Take a guzzle of this swill and it leaves a weird taste in your mouth similar to the feeling right after you take a gross shot of alcohol. NEVER AGAIN.
