Cooking supper

Cooking supper
Most evenings as I cook supper, I have a beer. Or two. This was a few
days ago after I brought home a box of the latest Quidi Vidi beer,
Fogtown Lager. It's a good beer. I've been drinking it ever since.

I heard a story about this brewery but, like all word-of-mouth
stories, it may be apocryphal. Who knows?

The story goes that, a couple of years ago, the Quidi Vidi brewery
hired a new master brewer who, upon starting there, pronounced all
their old beers skunky. The owners told him to do nothing to change
that -- the beers were all successful among local drinkers and the
owners didn't want to jinx anything in the market. Nonetheless, they
said, he was free to make new "seasonal" beers to his own liking. And
he has done so. Thus several new beers from Quidi Vidi, and this is
his most recent addition to their line.

The story fits with my tastes since I don't like the old Quidi Vidi
beers; I like the new ones which seem to have much cleaner flavours.

I hope that this beer doesn't cut the throat (because the razor on the label).
Never see this beer in Europe !

The brewery is about three km from my house and they probably don't ship it much farther than that!

It does have a nice sharp flavour, but not sharp enough to hurt! :)

Now that you mention the razor, I am wondering if the beer was named in honour of a local barbershop that has the same name.
