In the summer of 1996, a year before Lea and I married, she went to Atlanta on business. I drove over to enjoy dinner and an evening with her, and I enjoyed a Red Brick Ale or two. It was the first time I consciously participated in what is now a favorite tradition of mine—when out of town, drink a local craft brew. Anymore, you’re going to be able to do that almost anywhere.
Red Brick Ale was a favorite of mine for a while, and I’d usually have one whenever I saw it available. As my tastes veered more toward pale ales and (especially) India pale ales, Red Brick drifted further off my radar.
Then, I saw Red Brick Pale Ale at my local Publix yesterday. Happy times. The beer is tasty, but the packaging is outstanding. Howdy from flyover country:

That’s classic, especially the name label. Suspect college football indeed.
What? No “Cooper?” “Scooter?” Shoot.
Me, I like northern brews. Especially that fine Canadian stuff. Got my good ol’ boy husband hooked on it, too.
‘seester, I loved it. There are lots of other ones I didn’t post, like “all proceeds go towards brewing more tasty Red Brick beers.”
Kemtee, I understand. It’s a rare beer indeed that I can say absolutely nothing positive about. Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic is the only one coming to mind.
Oh, and I loved that both Jr. and Junior were on the list.
