  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Beer O da day!

Very nice beer, very nice cigar. What a pity they clash so strongly. I love sours, but I'm resigned to the fact that I can't enjoy a smoke with them. Your mileage may vary.
This was the first sour I've ever had. I like Ballast point grapefruit sculpin and thought it would be like that. I only drank that one then switched.

As far as the beer goes I was amazed how sour it could be with being bitter at all. It was an absolute assault on the sour taste buds. The cigar paring was interesting because it was medium bodied and had no sour notes it tasted well on the other taste buds. The beer was so intense it seemed to intensify the other taste buds. I wouldn't do it again but it wasn't a wasted cigar either.

For what it's worth, that sour is about as sour as I've ever had. The barrel-aged ones are a bit more palate-friendly. I didn't care for the sours at all when I first tried, but now it's one of my favorite styles.
