Sean suggests for November


If you haven’t beer shopped at Trader Joe’s then you are missing out. You can buy singles of practically everything they have and their private label beers are made by the likes of Firestone-Walker, Unibroue and Gordon Biersch. Not to shabby. They do sell some clinkers, like the Name Tag lager but when they strike a gold mine, the low prices make for a great bargain.

With that said, here are my shopping choices for November. You will probably be in Trader Joe’s anyway for Turkey day so pick up a beer too…..

November 2012 Suggestions

Happy Anniversary

Not mine, that is back in October. But thanks!

Today is the anniversary of the first sale of Pilsner Urquell!

Josef Groll brought a brand new style into the world this day in 1842. Pilsner Urquell was first served at the feast of Saint Martin markets.

So raise a glass of good pils (it’s out there) and give thanks to this delicious beer style.
