Stillwater, the gypsy brewer will be packaging in four-packs their new beer, Classique (Post-Prohibition Style Lager) , in six-pack cans by July.
I just love that more and more lagers are coming onto the market. Since, we get some Stillwater here in LA, maybe we will find some cans come July.
NPR is one of the few news outlets that covers beer in an interesting way and regularly. And HERE is a cool beer trend story that starts out with Brian Strumke of Stillwater Artisanal Ales and then morphs into a beer/food pairing promo for Greg Engert of D.C.’s Birch & Barley.
I know America is built on finding “the next big thing” and if NPR has caught a whiff of it then other outlets will smell the blood in the water. But let’s just embrace Gypsy Brewing as an integral part of craft beer just as we should assume that beer and food pair together well.
It reminds me of a coaching anecdote. I don’t remember which sport so substitute your favorite into this; “When you score, act like you do it all the time otherwise people will think this is the first time.” Remember that. Beer DOES pair with food. Gypsy brewing IS part of the scene.
