RE: APA...
It threw me off because I never see them called "American Pale Ales" ... but googling a few examples it was obvious that they're just Pale Ales from America. Duh!
A few years ago over here IPAs were everywhere and driving other things off the shelfs. Seems like it's not as bad anymore.IPAs and variants really popular that you can get them from small supermarkets vs a bottle store or larger supermarket.
Lincoln's Gift Oyster Stout
"Union General William Tecumseh Sherman torched most of the Confederate South on his 1864 March to the Sea, but his swath of destruction met its end when he came upon the lovely city of Savannah, GA. Overcome by its beauty and bounty, tough old Sherman presented an unscathed Savannah to President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
Service Brewing Co. honors the 16th president of these United States with a beer based on one of Lincoln’s other favorite gifts—the kind that come from the sea. Lincoln’s Gift is a sweet stout brewed with locally harvested May River oysters, giving this traditional dark beer a slightly briny character."
5.5% ABV from Savannah, Georgia. 89/100 Very Good (3.99/5) on Beer Advocate.
It tastes just fine and nothing strange... but I can't stop thinking of the Oysters. I wonder what I'd think of it if I didn't know.
I have them pull mixed six packs for me here (their choices). I doubt it would have been chosen if I had been picking myself . I was just glad it didn't taste like sea food as far as I could tell!I saw an oyster beer here at 12%. Passed in it seafood flavoured beer bleah.
