Eight more soldiers guarding the Wizard of Shag Rock! My father always called beer bottles soldiers. I never knew why – maybe something that came out of the war? If you have any idea or call them that yourself, please let me know in the comments!
Anyway, I was a Budweiser fan until Quidi Vidi Brewery (a Newfoundland company!) introduced their Iceberg beer, which is supposedly made from 25,000 year old water harvested from icebergs. I don’t know how they manage that, but it is the smoothest, gentlest, best tasting beer I’ve ever had. And no, I’m not getting paid to say this (but if anyone from Quidi Vidi is reading this, please direct your emails to info@oceandelightcottages.com, ha!)
I still go for my old regular from time to time, but the Iceberg is my current favourite. Thankfully, our local Drover’s Store started stocking it for me in the summer. Our guests love it, too, except for those who love Guinness and that other dark stuff. But I never could make it over to the dark side!
