Rett says Another late night scramble
July 27th, 2008
This is the first Schell’s that I’m not such a fan of. Nothing wrong with the beer itself, I guess I just don’t love the all-malt lager style. All hops I love, but all malt doesn’t do it for me.
Side note, I did drink this beer late on a week night, after Rebekah went to bed as I scrambled to get the firebrick photo cut out and the description on the web site. So maybe I wasn’t in the right mood to judge Schell Firebrick? Whatever the case, I’m giving it a 3.
