The Sterling Pooch by Second Chance Beer Co

Another quiet evening at home, I wandered to the fridge to find a beverage. A bold high contrast can caught my eye, it features a silhouette of a terrier with a red cape around the collar. The typography, bold newspaper style cutout letters. The kind you’d see on a ransom note from the 80s. How’d I forget about this one?

This malty caramel brew sticks to my tongue long after a sip. It reminds me of an English style Brown Ale from Obec Brewing of Seattle, Washington, that I tried last December. The Steerling Pooch from Second Chance Beer Co. is a Scottish-style ale but a wee bit heavy at seven percent alcohol by volume.
