Beers of the Week:
Beer: Pre-Prohibition Lager
Brewery: Lucky Bucket Brewing Co.
Notes: Nice malty opening transitioning to a great hop flavor and a clean finish. The hop character is complex and subtle with citrus and floral flavors. Great conversion beer. It is available now. Start looking for it in you live in Nebraska. If your local bar doesn’t have it ask for it.

Beer: Concentrated Evil
Brewery: Lucky Bucket Brewing Co.
Notes: Complex isn’t even the word. This beer is aged in Chardonnay casks and made with local honey. It is dark as a moonless night. Coming in around 10% ABV the alcohol is not noticeable making this a very dangerous beer. It will be available later this year and we recommend finding it if you can.

Beers of the Week:
Beer: Imperial Stout
Brewery: Left Hand

Music To Drink To:
This week we featured Anti-Flag’s 1984. Any ballad to quote Orwell can’t be all bad. It is good aggressive drinking music. Thanks to the Podsafe Music Network for providing the sound.
