This week's brew comes from Two Brother's Brewing Company. When I read the name of their company, I immediately thought it was a sign. I mean, two brother's decided to invest in a brewery? Together? Weird, because we just happen to be two brother's who invest in getting drunk—A LOT. Oh, and we started a company together, too. But I'm pretty sure it's the beer thing that made this feel like a sign.

WEEK 34:

The label says this beer has a "sweet caramel start, with just enough hops to clean off the palate," which to me means that with every sip it'll be like the first time, every time. There is little to no head when poured, with an amber hue. It gives off a sweet, slightly hoppy smell that kind of says, "Come hither, you oversized Man-child." And with an ABV of 5.9%, I was more than willing to oblige.

Great flavor, low carbonation, sweet like a cider, not in a sugary, off-putting way, but rather like a little surprise for your beer drinking hole (read: your mouth). It's very refreshing. Basically the way Kramer feels about Junior Mints is the way I feel about this beer right now. It's good for the current temperature, but it makes me anxious for the warmer months. It's very smooth, with a lingering caramel taste that slightly coats your mouth.

This beer is unique. It reminds me of a hearty barely wine that's been stripped down, cleaned up, and revitalized into a crisp ale. My mouth is telling my brain that this should be heavy and sucking the moisture out of my mouth, yet my brain is telling my mouth to shut the hell up and drink faster. Again, I oblige.

Third beer:
I really dig this shit! You know how you can tell I'm seriously excited about this beer? I'm using exclamation points! I NEVER use exclamation points! EVER!!! On a side note, I appreciate the fact that this beer was created by two brothers near Chicago, but what I love even more is that the beer actually tastes good too. And according to their Web site, which, no offense, makes our site look like a soaring phoenix right before it bursts into brilliant flames (read: slightly better), they have quite a few brews for us to explore. 

I want to impregnate this beer! I said it, is that weird? I feel like you're all judging me right now. Seriously, say something so this awkward silence goes away. Fine, I'll say something, I want to build a house on the side of a mountain and scream from the top of my lungs, "DOMAINE DUPAGE, YOU COMPLETE ME!!" And then soar together into the moonlight on the back of a giant eagle!!!

Next day:
What the hell happened last night? My head is killing me. Why the hell am I naked? Are those feathers? Why are they everywhere?

To recap, this is a good beer. You should try it. I need a bloody mary.
