Mayhaps the time has come to take a trip to Garrattsville. Where? Why?
Moo Thunder.
No, my neurons aren't firing on the fritz. Moo Thunder is a goodly stout that I had the honor of trying this summer at the Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Smooth, malty and featuring less body than the stouts you might be used to, Moo Thunder is an easy drinker.
The novelty packaging demands your attention. Moo Thunder, like the other brews from Butternuts (yes, Butternuts), comes in a cartoony can marketed to the fifteen-year old boy in all of us. It's one of the better beers I've had from a can, actually.
For your amusement, the other Butternuts beers feature "witty" names as well:
- Porkslap Pale Ale
- Snapperhead IPA
- Heinieweisse
When your done rolling on the floor laughing, you can check out the official Butternuts site for more information. Wait, scratch that, visit their Myspace page- it's less confusing and more up to date.
Not ready to make the trip to Garrattsville? Here are a couple other upcoming options:
