While on vacation in Montana, we sampled three new beers, Alaskan Amber, Lone Mountain Pale Ale, and Moose Drool, all particularly apt names for Western brewed beers.
Needless to say, Moose Drool wins the prize for the best name, and as an added bonus it is brewed in Big Sky, Montana, where we were staying. It's a great brown ale, but neither of us are as partial to browns. Lone Mountain beer is named after the mountain we were skiing on and you know it tasted particularly good after a day of cross country skiing! The Alaskan Amber was also quite good, but without a direct regional connection to report on. With these three beers we have reached our goal of forty in our second category several months in advance of the end of our time in Chicago. Hmmm, restaurants were first and beers second. What does this say about us?

Alaskan Amber is Eric's favorite beer ever.
Girls Rock looks really great. If I have a chance, I'd like to see it while it's at the Music Box.
See y'all soon!

It was our fav of the three. GR is definitely worth a look. Hope to see you at HC tomorrow!
