vonklebs says its like Die Hard, the movie; but beer, the drink

I love really good movies: the ones defined by their directed, written, and acted by characteristics and qualities. Then I also love Die Hard.
So, craft beer by technicality no; gonna drink it all night and still love it in the AM, yes. Still deserves some stars.
Thank you Schell’s for letting this beer live on.
BTW; don’t order a primo in New Ulm, you will get a Premium Light. Just saying, not that there is anything wrong with that.
