Beer and college go together like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, Bret Michaels and anti-fungal medication, Botox and the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/i>, RuPaul and surgical tape…<\/p>\n

Okay, I think you get the idea. But, how about beer and fruit?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Beer and fruit you say? I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want no fruity stuff in my brewski. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even want that little pansy orange when I get a Blue Moon. Fruit and beer!?! Knock it off with your crazy talk, stop blocking the TV and go make me a turkey pot pie, woman.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/p>\n

Well, Mr. Stereotypical Domestic Beer Drinker, I guess you wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be willing to try Long Trail\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Blackbeary (yes, Beary) Wheat.<\/p>\n

Just like you, Mr. Stereotypical Domestic Beer Drinker, I too am a consumer of beers typically found in packs of 30 due to the crickets that have found a place in my wallet and chirp on cue when I open it just to piss me off and make fun of the fact that I am a poor college student. Those bastards. However sometimes when I want to splurge (especially when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in New Hampshire where beer is much cheaper than the Keystone State.) I pick up something that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s local and what I assume has better quality than a 30-pack of The Beast<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

Long Trail is a brewery that hails from Vermont and…<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Vermont you say!?! You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re telling me they make beer in the state that got those Birkenstock-wearin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 liberal hippies, ice cream with names that are always a play on words and maple syrup!?! I told ya to knock it off with your crazy talk. And where the hell is my turkey pot pie?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/p>\n

Well, yes, Mr. Stereotypical Domestic Beer Drinker, Long Trail is from Vermont and, actually, Vermont has more breweries per capita than any other state. Throughout the year, Long Trail likes to put out specialty brews that fit the season, and usually they have cute names and adorable labels with bears skiing or lounging out by trees or, in the case of the Blackbeary Wheat, an angry wife holding a rolling pin about to smack her husband who is attempting to take a piece of pie.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Cute and adorable you say!?! Beer ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t supposed to be cute or adorable. I need a beer that uses hot babes with their jugs bouncing up and down in their commercials, not some damn cartoon bear. Speaking about pie, where the hell is mine!?!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/p>\n
