Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
So I'm back in my hometown for the Fourth of July, and my old roommate picks me up at the train station, and on the way back home he stops at the package store (liquor store to those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about), and he picks up a six pack of Wachusett Blueberry Beer.
He tells me to try it, but I'm hesitant. I mean, I'm somewhat adventurous when it comes to food and drink. I'm not going to try that turkey and gravy soda that Jones makes, but I'm willing to try something new and different. But blueberry beer? Was this made by the people who put coffee in my Coke and nougut in my Reese's Peanut Butter cups?
But I try it and...it's not bad at all. In fact, after a quick burst of blueberriness (I'm not sure if that's a word, but it fits), it actually settles into your mouth without any blueberry shock or aftertaste. And I guess that's the test of a good beer: you don't really notice the flavor of it as you're sucking down bottle after bottle. But this might also be a turnoff to some. Maybe some beer fans will actually want to taste the blueberry, after all, what's the point if you can't?
Right now I'm on my third. Though I don't know if I will make this a regular purchase. Too many other good beers out there to bother.

Maybe if you treat beer as nothing but an alcohol delivery mechanism. But some of us actually have some respect for craft beers and those who make them, and consider the flavour to be one of the most important and enjoyable aspects of drinking beer.
Saying that good beer is defined by a lack of flavour is like saying Velveeta is a world-class cheese, or Wonder Bread is the epitome of the art of bread making.
