Bitter American (No, not Dick Cheney)

I found 21st Amendment’s Bitter American in Whole Foods last night. I’ve enjoyed it before at their brewpub before but I hadn’t realised that they had started canning their seasonal brews. Somewhat reminiscent of Stone’s Levitation, BA is a hybrid of a British-style premium bitter and a West-Coast IPA. Quaffable at 4.4% abv it still packs a wallop of hoppy goodness, I’d love to try it on cask at some point.

The can design is also very cool, and canning rather than bottling is ‘the way forward’ but cracking open a can never feels as special popping off a bottle top. It is easier to fit more beer in the fridge though ;-)
