Beer Radar

Yeah, yeah - I know, the beers I wrote about in today’s column can be hard to find. Distributors don’t like to carry big bottles, mainly because they’re expensive. You have to track them down at takeout shops (an easier task in Jersey, by the way).

**I mentioned in the column that St. Somewhere Saison Athene is one of the three best saisons brewed in America. Of course, that’s my opinion. You can decide for yourself tomorrow night at State Line, when they’ll be matching up Belgians vs. Americans. One of my readers just dropped me a line about the event with the heads up that they’ll be comparing St. Somewhere with the benchmark Saison Dupont. Click here for details.
