  Great Divide St. Bridget’s Porter – Great bottle, Great beer 

  And the winner of the “Wash away the tears … stupid Cardinals – Best beer of the Super Bowl” award goes to St. Bridget’s Porter by Great Divide. Keep in mind that the review may be tainted by the fact I was pretty well drunk by the time I poured this, but damn if it wasn’t an awesome porter. One of the best I’ve had in recent memory.

  I didn’t have a ton of hope with it to tell you the truth. I’m not a huge follower of the brewery, but the semi-truck flap style sillhouette of “St. Bridget” on the bottle grabbed my eye enough to get me to pull it from the shelf and bring it along. When it produces such a happy result, what’s a little objectification between friends.

  Hibernation Ale: Like Bad Anesthesia 

  Ever had one of those beers where it feels like the flavor wraps around your teeth? Like its originating in your molars, wandering your bicuspids, then slowly slithering its way into that part of your pallete that makes you shudder. The kind where it’s a liquid, but you feel the urge to chew, and chew. HArd enough to kill whatever it was that was assaulting your mouth.

  So goes Hibernation Ale by Great Divide. Someone in the brewery said, lets give it more flavor! And out came the funk dropper. The label says “Robust”. But what they really mean is “Really f*@$!ing Rubust”. Rubust like a sweaty sumo wrestler. And tasting the same too.

    I recently had the opportunity to try this beer too. I have to agree with the eff-ing robustness of this beer. However, I enjoyed mine much more after some Jameson whiskey.

    Of course, there are a lot more things that taste (feel, look, etc.) better with whiskey.
