Things That Are Good, Part One

A new series, part of my overall plan to be more succinct:

Limoncello (always a favorite) poured over Ithaca Brewing Company Ginger Beer or, in a pinch, Reed’s Ginger Beer.

Saranac Pomegranate Wheat Beer... I know, I know. It sounds disgusting. I was sure it would be disgusting but, in my continuing effort to find a local beer I like, I bought Saranac’s Summer Sampler 12-pack. And wow. Their Pomegranate Wheat is smooth, not too sweet and full-bodied without bitterness, and has none of that gag-inducing hoppiness that I find in most beers that snobs say are "good." I’m sure the snobs will laugh at this one and dismiss it as a girly beer, but that just leaves more for me.

Hey Pastry Pirate!

I've heard of the Saranac Pomegranate Wheat Beer, but haven't had a chance to try. Next time I'm in Syracuse I'll grab a half case.

I recently built a pomegranate social network called PomSocial and would be thrilled if you were to visit, participate, and maybe even do a video review of your experience with the pom-wheat beer :). I'm really looking forward to communicating and working with everyone who is into pomegranates! Best Wishes, David (pomsocial.com)
