First World Problems...

welshale.jpg

Herefordshire Ale. Yeah...it's damned good, especially considering that I have had a run of vaguely disappointing Cask Ales. Perhaps I am just unlucky and have chosen my pubs poorly, but it seems like the glorious cask ales of England are being infiltrated by the mouth-puckering oddities from America...those double and triple and quadruple-hopped monstrosities that seem to have been in vogue for many years.

The ones I have had recently were good, but I think that the style of Cask Ales does not lend itself to aggressive hopping (not the rabbit kind). Anyway, this one was superb, and hard to find! Apparently, the Herefords like to drink it, and keep a lot of it around for themselves, which I think is quite rude. And why did they name their beer with Welsh words? Brits are weird.

So I guess the First-World Problem is when the Herefordshirians are going to stop being so damned selfish and start shipping their glorious Cask Ales to America...specifically to the pub closest to my house!

Sadly, it is not as simple as it seems. These ales undergo a secondary fermentation in the cask, so transport and storage are more complex than the typical beer. And when it gets to the pub, tapping also is not the simple process that we all (except for Garrett, who learned how to make Cosmopolitans) learned at a young age.

Yes...life is difficult sometimes, but as Muldoon says, I will endeavor to persevere!
