I just about shit my pants when I was beer shopping in Rhode Island last week and came across this lovely concoction from Shipyard. It totally stroked two of my nerd sweet spots - beer and the Civil War. I'm probably one of three people in the country to own Gettysburg on DVD (starring Jeff Daniels) and if you put me on the spot and asked me who my favorite Civil War personality was I'd probably say Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
See? Nerdy.
I know that Shipyard is available around town here in the fall because I've seen their Pumpkinhead Ale on shelves. Now I'll have to ask around for this but can't see myself buying a lot of it because it wasn't that great. Maybe I'll need a second tasting...
