05.22.2008 The best spring beer
I've been enthusiastic about the offerings at local spirits/wine/beer shop Lush (they don't have much of a site, here's their blog) for quite some time.
They do free tastings, which is pretty much heaven for a Zymurgophile... Cerevisaphile... maybe an enophile? like me...
I've been intending to share some of my finds... so... here, finally, are the two best beers I've had in a long while:
- The top choice, possibly the best beer I've ever had, is
Foret.
It's a Belgian organic beer, rumored to be in fact the only Belgian organic beer. Apparently sold outside the US as Moinette Biologique, and according to the internets I am not alone in my enthusiasm for this beer.
It's crisp and peppery and complex, and comes in a green wine-type bottle with a cork. Which might put off some of you who like beer 'cause it's cheap and unpretentious, unlike that stuff that normally comes in wine bottles. (What do you call it again?)
This, though, is $7-8, which for (I think) two pints' worth is what you'd pay at a bar for a couple Mass Market Beers.
- Flossmoor's Brown Ale, a local beer, is the other beer I'll mention today. They've been getting a lot of hype lately, partially because of this fact, that they're local and you can, if you want, actually drive down to the brewery in Chicago's south suburbs ("on the way to Grandma's house") and pick up some fresh stuff if you want. Also because it's quite delicious. I mean, we've got local beer: Goose Island and so forth, but this is BEER. It's rich and creamy, dark without losing its character the way some beers do... And it's about $10.
And berries.
And yeah, I know it's basically summer, but what does it feel like? Early spring. Spring beer. Drink up.

Charlie, you rock. I must go buy a beer! Oh, the Flossmoor Brown is perhaps my favorite brown ale ever, and the Foret is delightful with steamed mussels. Yumyumyum. Thanks for the shout out. Cheers, Rachel Driver Manager LUSH Wine and Spirits
