Since beer is more or less bread in liquid form, I've been without for the past 8 days. I'm breaking Passover with tonight's libation: Raspberry Tart from New Glarus Brewing Co. in New Glarus, Wisconsin, USA. As implied, it's sweet (perhaps a little too sweet), tart, and refreshing. #Beer #Beerstodon #BeersOfMastodon #CraftBeer #Passover #Pesach
