After my last post I was hit with a question. A question that to be perfectly honest I never considered. The question was "If you continue to try new beers aren't you worried that one will become a favorite and displace your love for High Life?" It took me awhile to answer this comment. And the only reason that I am writing this as a new post is because I feel that I should make this statement clear for all my followers in case a few of you missed my response. I have yet to come across a beer that could replace High Life. At one point I did think that I had found a suitable replacement. Last summer I had visited the Coors, now Miller-Coors Brewery, out in Golden Colorado. On a side note that is an excellent experience and I would recommend anyone to do it. But to be perfectly honest my reason to visit was the fact that I was in the area and that a couple free beers at 10 am was a great thing. Three 12 oz samples and an 8 oz sample to be exact. While taking the tour I got to see a lot of interesting things. Of which I will write another post about. One of my samples on the tour was of Blue Moons Summer Seasonal brew Honey Moon. At first sip I fell in love. Since I had arrived late in the season for Honey Moon I was told that it would be hard to get a hold of a case. I scoured the town of Golden looking for a case of Honey Moon. After visiting 3 distributors I finally had my hand on a case. I returned to Pennsylvania with that case and devoured it in the luxury of my own home. Finally this summer I was again able to get my hands on a case of Honey Moon. I picked it up this past June. And finishing off that case of Honey Moon became a 3 month project. Especially since I was buying High Life while the Honey Moon was still in the refrigerator. I drank the Honey Moon but it just wasn't good enough to take the place of High Life. Now maybe someday another beer will take the place of my love for High Life. I will cross that bridge when I get there and I won't let the thought of that happening stop me from experiencing other beers. So let the tasting continue. Here's some music to go with your next beer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh4zvpS4tqk
Enjoy.
Loved the song! After a whole day recovering from last night, it still made me want to drink a beer.
ReplyDeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteHow much of a different taste does that version of Blue Moon have? I'm curious because like i said before, I don't get around much with beer. I do like Blue Moon though, so you certainly caught my attention with this.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess the honeymoon with Honey Moon is over. Sorry. I couldn't help it. I have a pun problem. Nice post. Don't fear commas, though. They're good and useful things.
ReplyDeleteHoney Moon tastes sweeter than Blue Moon. It has doesn't so much have the citrus tast the regular moon does, but at the end it has a citrus hint. As of right now what is left at the distributors is all that is left. As of last Tuesday, Beer Bets & Butts still had cases left and they were on sale for $20 a case which is cheap considering that when Honey Moon is in season it sells for $30 a case.
