Barley Mowat 

Bet you guys thought I forgot, eh? Yeah, I know that the BOTM widget sat sad and un-updated for the month of July, and yeah I was totally called out on it. I’d like to say it was due to intellectual reasons, and declare that no beer was worthy, but the reality is that I just plain old forgot. However, that is not the case for August. For August I would like to draw everyone’s attention to a particular beer.

This beer was released quite a while ago, and everyone hemmed and hahhed about it, because it wasn’t as great as its immediate predecessor. And then this beer slowly started disappearing from LRS shelves, and everyone subsequently forgot about it. Now that the weather is hot, though, I would recommend that we all take a long, hard look at this puppy.

Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

Yup, the August Beer Of The Month is Lighthouse Belgian White. The quantity available has gone down a bit since I last mentioned this beer, but it’s still pretty widely purchase-able via the LDB, of all places, and you know what? Despite this being Not As Good as Belgian Black, it’s still a pretty freaking good beer. Maybe Black was amazing and we’ve all become jaded assholes, or something. I know I have.

But when the sun is shining and you’re feeling pretty dang good about yourself, this beer is a fantastic companion. So go out, buy it all, and make Lighthouse think that producing good beer is a profitable venture.
