Does Karl Strauss make any beers that are good? I think I might take their brewpubs more seriously if their food was any good and they didn’t serve all their beers in frosted mugs.
Hmm, I’m not really sure. The last thing I had of theirs, the Red Trolly, was not good.
Sorry boys, but Karl took home TWO medals at this last world beer cup. A gold and a silver. You must be confused and or drunk because Karl does not serve their beers in mugs let alone frosted mugs. Buzz at the CBC says the Symposium beer that Karl Strauss was chosen to brew was the standout beer of the conference.
