Deus Ex Cervezas

In the past week, we had a couple of brews from Greene King brewery, one great and the other forgettable.

First up, Abbot Ale. We had just figured out how to work the grill on the cooker so we made some burgers, fresh micro-carrots, and green beans for dinner -- all sourced from the awe-inspiring Shell station (a post will surely follow about this all-in-one gas --ahem -- I mean -- petrol station). We opened this beer to have with the meal. A really fantastic, well-rounded beer. This one could become a staple. It even has Fuggles in it. I can't think of a beer to compare it to. The burgers were good, too.

A few days layer, we tried the IPA. I could take it or leave it. Reminded me of old Heineken.

Greene King is also the brewer of beer from an earlier post, Ruddles County.
