Victory over bad tasting beer!

Last weekend I was in NYC (I truly am a well traveled ape). Aside from enjoying views of the city at night from the Hudson River with someone special, seeing my dear sister, and hanging out with old friends... I came away with a new beer to place along my faves.

Victory Hop Devil! I had this devilishly good beer at a Red Sox bar called Professor Thom's. Little did I know that this gem was named one of the 10 Best Summer Beers by Details Magazine... I just chose it because I hadn't heard of it before and had a hankering for something different. It was slightly sweet, hoppy and refreshing. It was so good, I ignored the fact that a tiny roach ran across the bar as I was drinking it... had it not been so good I would have eaten that tiny roach (bugs are part of an ape's diet! I don't get grossed out at the fact that humans drink the milk of other animals). It was a great summer Ale that isn't wheat, citrusy or very light.

So, if you are hanging in your canopy, drinking nothing but Wit, Wheat or just plain light flavor beers this summer... give Victory Hop Devil a taste, your tongue will thank you!
