So I had a goal today - to make a mixed six pack from the liquor store with nothing but beers that were $1.89 or less. Not too hard, but seeing as a lot of what I like is over $3 for a 12oz bottle, or only comes in big bombers for like, $5+, it was a fun little challenge to find decent stuff for those kinds of prices.

I grabbed to bottles of beer from Abita Brewing first, since a friend mentioned them recently. She’d had them on her honeymoon in New Orleans, and was trying to find some in the area. Yup, only one liquor store carries it.

Anyhow, the next thing I grabbed was the Lift Bridge Brown Ale from Keweenaw Brewing. They’ve had them in stock for a little bit now, and its kind of odd to see craft brews in a can.

So I picked the brown over the blonde and the red. After tonight though, I’ll probably try the others.

I can’t tell you what the color is like exactly - it comes in a can so I didn’t pour it. Felt more natural that way.

But I can tell you that its tasty, pretty light, and a good choice for a summer beer. The mouthfeel has a bit more body than I expected - but that’s probably just my surprise from drinking a good beer from a can.

Not too bad with pizza, and just bitter enough for a brown ale.

For $1.79 I will totally buy this again.
