Previously from this brewery: the others
Today is a Penn State game day, so let's all hope that goes well. Your beer for the day is a bottle of Pere Jacque 2012 from Goose Island that's been sitting in the fridge for a year or so. This Belgian style ale poured into a tulip glass a honey brown color, with no head. There are welcoming aromas of yeast and cherry, and when you imbibe you pick up flavors of sweet malt, bread, apple, dried cherries, and light notes of honey. From the bottle, you learn that this beer develops well for up to five years, further dispelling the notion that you need to drink beer quickly after it is made. Good beers are like wine in that they grow and evolve over time, and this one is more than just "good."

If Goose Island is up for review, we're going to pay homage to one of the great film roles of all time, from one of the greatest movies of all time: Goose, from Top Gun.
Played brilliantly by Anthony Edwards, Goose was Maverick's wing man extraordinaire, even when it came to picking up ladies in the bar - hence, where today's common usage of the word wing man truly originated. And if we're talking about Anthony Edwards, let's give him credit for also being amazing in another "greatest of all time" movie, Revenge of the Nerds, and one of the best tv shows of all time, ER. My man brings his A game.
You know, I can't even begin to tell you how many women I've picked up in bars by finding a random microphone and then getting the entire bar to join in a sing-along serenade. Too many to count, really. So, Goose and Mav (and the rest of the bar), take it away....
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this....."
