This week's Beer of the Week is Sleeman Silver Creek, brewed by the good people at Sleeman breweries in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
This isn't my first time drinking Sleeman Silver Creek, but it is my first time reviewing it. Another Sleeman beer, Sleeman Clear is a regular in our fridge here at Beer Day headquarters, but I digress. Sleeman Silver Creek comes in the typical clear Sleeman bottle with the raised Sleeman Brewery mark and maple leaf/beaver on it...kind of like a Canadian nickle.
This is a really nice drinking beer, the kind which makes you want to have another. The kind you could drink all day/night on a hot summer day at the cottage...
Note to self: When you get rich, buy a cottage, then buy a cooler, then buy some sleeman silver creek for the cooler, then make some time and drink it all day and night...just to test that theory
Ok, I'm back in the real world now, daydreaming about my Sleeman Silver Creek stocked cooler and my cottage full of friends. Back to the beer. Nice subtle taste, not unlike MGD or Sleeman Clear. A slight beery like smell...the good one, not the bad one like skunky OV. I'm doing my best to imagine whether this beer would go better with steak or fish. I'm thinking steak, steak or Oktoberfest sausage...yeah Oktoberfest sausage with a little sauerkraut , that would be sweet; would it be too much to ask for a little hot mustard too? Ooh, and a pretzel, one of those street vendor hot pretzels, that would be nice
Ok, my beer is empty, this review is officiall over. Kudos if you've read this far, you are far more patient than I am. In Summary, Sleeman Silver Creek is good beer, support a local brewery and have one today.
