A trip to Idaho gave me the opportunity to try beers that we couldn’t get in the southeast . One stop at the local grocery store and six pack with a painted drooling moose on the front peaked my interest, and ultimately my taste buds. Big Sky Brewing Company’s Moose Drool was a pleasant surprise with its rich malty backbone and smooth taste. The fine folks at Big Sky were kind enough to send Beer America TV a care package, and now we can share this incredible beer with you!

I too have been wanting to try moose drool…can’t get it in Northwestern OH, so for now I’ll have to take your word for it.
Nice site, by the way.

For any real craft beer drinker, this is a great one to try. I really was pleasantly surprised on how good this beer was. Coming up in a few weeks, we’ll have a few more Big Sky beers to share.
Thanks for the comment!

Pinkerton, I really like your insights but you hurt me with your comments about Newcastle. Newkie Brown is “pabst” in my house. It is my cheap, everyday brew that provides me with some level of ale drinking when I am saving $ towards craft brews.
Newcastle can’t hold a candle to Brooklyn, Highland, Dogfish, New Belgium, etc but it is still a hell of a lot better than BMC.

Wow, didn’t realize Moose Drool was being canned! I love this beer. We have had it in the SF Bay Area for a while now. Hope we get the cans soon!

I love brown ales, especially American brown ales. I know you guys are fans of Bell’s Brewery beers; you guys should try the alliterative Bell’s Best Brown. WOW what a complex brown ale!!! It’s like chocolate covered dark fruits. Delicious! I’ll be looking for the Moose Drool.

Hey guys, a little off topic but just my two cents I feel like cans are an awesome idea for packaging look at Oskar Blues brewery in Lyons Colorado. They have had great success from canning beer, 100% growth for the past 5 years! It can really help with getting your name out there cause there aren’t a ton of craft brewers/micro brewers out there doing it. However that being said, as you stated earlier there is that stigma associated with beer in cans, even though in almost every way a can it better. I will say I do prefer to have my beer in bottles, but as far a marketing and getting your product noticed by the larger consumer base ie. the entry craft beer drinkers and the macro drinkers it a great sttention grabber.
