When we first went to Ortino’s Northside both Michael and I had a good chuckle over the Monty Python Holy Grail Pale Ale from Black Sheep Brewery in North Yorkshire, UK. We didn’t order any though, since we figured it was all about the label and the beer would suck.
Tonight I finally broke down and bought a bottle.
And you know what? It was nothing overly exciting, but it was pretty good.
We also discovered that there is a gas station and little beer store on 29 about 3-4 miles from our house. Good to know. The beer store carries Victory (picked up a case of hopdevil) and a couple other good small brewery labels alongside the ever-present mountains of Coors Light and Budweiser. Apparenty they were pretty cleaned out because of the folk festival too, I’ll have to check back when they’re more well-stocked.
