Luddite Thought of the Day: Sept. 3rd, 2014

Remember when tagging something was about a grade school yard game or the malicious use of spray paint instead of rebroadcasting your "real" social life into your virtual one?

The Denver Guide to Girl Scout Cookie and Beer Pairings



Sometimes the only way to counteract the unhealthy consequences of eating copious amounts of Girl Scout cookies is to drink copious amounts of beer. To that end I am here for you.

THIN MINTS-
If the house of Girl Scouts is built of cookies, these babies are the pillars. Nothing says dessert like getting a tube of minty cookies out of the freezer and gluing your teeth together with chilly chocolate disks. To un-glue your face I suggest Left Hand Brewing Company's Milk Stout Nitro. Its smooth...creamy and entirely decadent. Float a cookie on top and get er' done.

TAGALONGS-
These wonderful cookies really do tag along... my waist line. This might be because I refuse to waste a single peanut buttery choco-cracker on anything not including the use of my teeth. While this package of cookies contains some 10% the volume of its thin minty cousin it still packs 100% of the flavor. So savor. Wash this tacky mess into your belly with Denver Beer Company's Graham Cracker Porter. To your tummy; you're welcome.

SAMOAS-
So what if this cookie has a hole? It has a whole lot of yummy. Coconut and awkward choco-stripes top this tempting morsel, but its impossible to top my love for this cookie. Enjoy with Hogshead Brewery Gilpin Black Gold. If you don't get it from the cask, you'll probably never "get it".

TREFOILS-
You're so full of intrigue aren't you little awkward clover-like short bread cookies? But there isn't anything short about you is there? So full of tastiness from such a simple package... you need only moisture to help you slide down my gullet. To that end I recommend Dry Dock's Hefewiezen. Its simple too. Its amazing. Its not fucking around.

DOSIDOS-
Yes, you little peanut sandwich... you are pretty. You don't need fancy markings... or icing or frosting. You just need time in my mouth. Best to pair you with my heart. Oh? Is that too heavy for you? Well this is a heavy subject. Enjoy it with a heavy beer. Oskar Blues TenFidy will wash this cookie down your throat and someone elses. Yeah. Be careful.
