American Wheat Bottled, American Stout Brewed
Some zymurgystic banalities for you during this Election Week! I’m certainly not thinking about beer right now, being too busy hitting refresh on RCP about every ten minutes, but at least they both have “American” in their name.
Beer At Home’s October special is, appropriately, a stout. They call it “American Stout,” which in this case seems to mean “Porter.” The picture doesn’t capture it well, but this is pretty light stuff as far as stouts go.

And now, a Tim Berglund exclusive: a ho-hum wheat in late October! Only your colonialistic, totalizing metanarrative would tell me I can’t. Plus it was supposed to be a Blackberry Wheat (my fruit beers having enjoyed some success recently), but I forgot to put the blackberry extract in while I was bottling. I brewed the stout at pretty much the same time I was bottling this, so I was plenty busy.

You can’t.
YESSSSS! For the first time ever, I have consciously engaged in totalizing, colonialistic metanarrative! I am so excited!

(Personally, I don’t mind wheat beers in the winter. They’re thought of as a warm-weather thing and stouts a cold-weather thing, but I am not as picky. And the right kind of stout can be downright refreshing in the hot weather, says I.)
