The Beer Advent Calendar, Day 3: Southern Barrel Wild Bramble

Three blog posts in three days! That's awesome, I feel like I deserve a reward... Maybe a beer! No, must blog first, then beer later. Ok, apologies for the inner monologue creeping out there. Our Day 3 beer was brought to us by @marrfore and is Southern Barrel Wild Bramble (3.7/83/NR) clocking in at 4.5% abv.

Day 3 was a welcome respite from the hop heavy entries from the prior days.  Wild Bramble drinks light and tart and is pretty damn refreshing.  I gave it a 3.5 on Untappd and would have liked it to be a little more fruit forward and less tart, but that's just a personal preference.  If you like sour beers, this is a great one to try.

Wild Bramble also taught us a valuable lesson.  It came wrapped in a brown paper bag (ah college memories...), and @Beerbecue7 brought it into the shower with him to enjoy there.  He found out the hard way that beers should be unwrapped prior to starting the water as wet brown paper bag smells nasty...  I can now add that to my ever growing list of life rules:

1. Never get less than 12 hours sleep
2. Never play cards with a guy whose first name is a city
3. Never get involved with a woman with a tatoo of a dagger on her body
4. And the new one, Always unwrap your hobo beers before you get into the shower:)

<I'll buy a beer to the first person who can tell me the movie reference above>

Until tomorrow!
