So I brewed this New Year's Day for a fishing trip that never happened-but it won a "Blue Ribbon" at Slurp and Burp here in the Portland OR area. Thought I'd share it. It tastes most like a Harp lager or a more refined and heavier Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's basically Jamil Zainasheff's Blonde Ale recipe from BYO Jan/Feb 08 brewed with lager yeast.
