So I had one of those weekends where I usually wind up and wendy's too many times or at a friends house eating his wife's cooking. That is right, I was left to fend for myself and I did so well not spending money, then I went searching for a reward.
I found this four pack of Pepe Nero at Once Upon a Vine north. I went with the intention of getting something fall seasonal then I settled on this. There was a lot of hype surrouding this brewery and I haven't have the one that knocked my socks off yet. To be fair, I have had two of Goose Islands wheat selections, which I am not a fan of wheat beers anyways.
Goose Island advertises as being Chicago's craft beer. They produce a thurough line of beers and have a very unique barrel aging program. Like clipper city they have three degrees or levels of beer and this Pepe Nero is one of the their most serious. Nero is a farmhouse beer, and it has a velvety mouth feel with some subtle spice, that comes from the peppercorns.
I know very little about this brewery and their website is but so informative. What I have experienced so far is an attention to detail and commitment to providing unique beer. So go check for yourself, see what kind info you can turn up at www.gooseisland.com
