One of the hardest things about living and working in a Muslim country is foregoing that cold, bubbly, life-sustaining substance that we all know and love: beer.
Lincoln has a great little brewery down in the Haymarket district that produces some really fantastic stuff. And when hubby and I went snowboarding in Beaver Creek last winter, we made sure to stop at the Odell and New Belgium breweries in Ft. Collins on the way home. If you trust me, hunt these down:
Empyrean Brewing Co (Licoln, NE)
Vanilla Porter – sweet, malty goodness makes this our #1 pick.
Third Stone Brown – dark but not heavy and smooth as a baby’s…well, you know.
Oatmeal Stout – thick, hearty and capped with a cream-colored froth of almost buttery deliciousness.
New Belgium Brewing Co (Ft. Collins, CO)
2 Below – very floral winter ale with a serious punch! Two of these bad boys, and hubby is all silly and googly-eyed (oops, did I tattle?). Seasonal only, so get it while it’s hot…er, cold.
Frambozen – skyrockets in flight, raspberry delight :) Also seasonal.
Mothership Wit – organically-produced wheat beer with a citrus-and-spice tang. For all my fellow tree-huggers.
Odell Brewing Co (Ft. Collins, CO)
Cutthroat Porter – smooth, creamy texture with the flavor of chocolate and coffee. 3 of my most favorite things all mixed together in liquid form. Sigh.
