Bargain Beer of the Week! Beer #11- Simpler Times Lager

**$3.99 for a six-pack**


Sometimes days suck. Today was a day like the for me. So, I thought I would cheer myself up, and the rest of the world with one of my favorite beers, and it just so happens to be in the "Bargain Beer of the Week!" category! Wooo!


Simpler Times can be purchased at Trader Joes- I don't think it can be purchased anywhere else. For this lowly price, you are getting one of the best deals in the world. I have reviewed beers so far from the spectrum of about $12.00 a bottle to less than a dollar a beer, yet ounce for ounce, Simpler Times is hard to beat.

I think this beer is best enjoyed from the can, but I chose to taste it like I taste all other beers.

I did the pour. A deep gold liquid swirled around and formed a very light head. The smell was faint- yet sweet-nectary. And then the taste. A light and creaminess made me immediately smile. Oh, the simpler times!

Let's just take a quick look back at some of the stranger things I have noticed in my beers thus far; Meat, copper, bitter coffee, bitter malt.. etc... And Simpler, well, it leaves things simple.

So, in conclusion, here is a poem devoted to the greatness of this Lager.

But Simpler Times, Oh! Simpler Times.
You make me want to spread my rhyme.
How you tease me with your inexpensive look and price,
yet leave me with a desire for thrice.
Your smooth and creamy texture of hops and barley,
left for me to drink and feel so narley.
The happiness of the Simple reaches the heights,
And my belly feels and fills so nice.
And that is what leaves the joy in my head;
And tucks me in nicely, right before bed.
I'll dream of the wort, the hiss of the can's opened cap,
And wake up delighted after my nap.

The End.

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
