Kris says Maybe it’s the time of year
July 28th, 2008
If anyone asked I’d say one of my favorite Schell’s beers is Firebrick (Schmaltz Alt is a close runner up). However, having gotten lucky enough to score one at a friend’s party Saturday night I enjoyed it less than usual. Maybe it was the heat but it just seemed sweeter than usual and almost too sweet to enjoy. I’m not writing it off however. Once the cool breezes of autumn arrive I’ll give it another go around. Hopefully it was just the heat and not a changing of my palate.
