Drunkenness is a sin, folks. God condemns it throughout Scripture. You can’t enjoy the richness of a good beer if you’re drunk. So don’t get drunk. First, it’s sinful. Second, it’s dangerous. Third, it insults you.

As you may, or may not know, where I’m from there’s not a lot of good beer on tap. The places in town tout the typical redneck “beers”: Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors, etc. Thus, I don’t have the privilege of partaking of good beer on tap, for the most part.

This past Lord’s Day, however, I did get to enjoy a new beer (new to me, I mean). Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter is a welcome addition to my mental beer repository. For a bit more information, one can visit here. The Taddy Porter (TP) has a very full and rich taste. Although I didn’t get the opportunity to do so, I think this beer would make an excellent drink with a nice, medium-well prepared, New York Strip.

It has similar tastes to several beers I enjoy. If you have ever been to a BJs Brewery, this has shades of their “Nutty Brewnette,” although I think this is much more refined and better tasting. The TP has a mild sweetness interlaced with the familiar “bitterness” found in darker beers. I’m not a “professional” beer taster, so it’s sometimes difficult to adequately express the varios tastes found therein.

So let’s just suffice it to say that this is an incredibly good beer, and I wholeheartedly commend it to your palate.
