I now appreciate the fascination for craft beer. Friends have started brewing these in the neighborhood (their capacity and the facility is large, to my mind, I hesitate to call it "home brewing").
They had us sample them, and I enjoyed the first one I tasted. (We happened to have spicy chicken wings along with the surprise bottles. Good timing!)
Tuff Tuko with every sip somehow brought me back to Baguio...Baguio just last January. I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was certainly something "woody" about it.
Then my friend sent me this flyer, and I also then read the label..."pine hops"...no wonder...!
So what do I appreciate about their beers? Fresh tasting, just the bitterness of beer but no bitter aftertaste. I've had pilsner in Prague and aside from Baguio memories...this reminded me of the Czech republic. Really.
Merry Christmas friends and family...these are coming your way when I see you!
