New Glarus Fat Squirrel
Ale
I’ve been meaning to write about this beer for a little while now. Luckily I still have one left and am drinking it as I write. This is a Nut-Brown Ale with a complex flavour and a slight bite. It’s very malty with a smooth finish despite the bite. The label has this to say about the flavour:
100% Wisconsin malt of six different varieties impart the natural toasted color to this bottle conditioned unfiltered ale. Clean hazelnut notes result from these carefully chosen barley malts. Hops from Slovenia, Bavaria and the Pacific Northwest give Fat Squirrel its backbone.
I thought this beer was okay. I’m not a huge fan of brown ales, in fact I dislike Newcastle, which I think tastes like nasty coffee. This was far better than Newcastle, thankfully.

As for the squirrel beer, I heard that you are supposed to drink it while eating an assortment of nuts. What you do is you take a couple largish nuts like walnuts and crack them open. Then you dip your nuts in the beer and suck the froth off of them. Highly enjoyable.
