Beau's - Lug Tread Lagered Ale

If you're going to endorse a golf product, you need Tiger Woods. Tennis? Better find Federer or Nadal. Beer? You need Norm Peterson from Cheers. Next best thing? How about an unpaid endorsement from George Wendt, the actor who played Norm.

That's hard to beat.


Lug Tread Lagered Ale
Price: $15.85 for 4 x 600mL at the LCBO
5.2% Alcohol/Vol.

A lagered ale? Yup:
1) Make an ale
2) Lager it
3) Profit!

Drinking impression: Full bodied and crisp without being heavy, very flavourful, just the right amount of carbonation and a gentle aftertaste. If Plato had to identify Beer, it might just be this one.
Would you buy it again? Absolutely. This is a beer I'd like to keep in stock as part of my regular rotation.
Would you drink two in a row? Probably, but at 600mL, one is often enough.

Best time and place to drink it: Sunday afternoon watching a classic Cheers marathon.

Out of ten: A nine. Remarkable for being so general purpose, this is close to what a definitive Beer should be. If you have any friends who think Blue is what a beer should be, pour them a Lug Tread and educate the poor fools.
