Opa-Opa Brown Ale

Picked up some 1/2 gallon bottles of Opa-Opa for $6.99 a bottle plus $2 deposit each bottle. Unlike many 1/2 gallon "growlers" that are usually clear glass , these are brown glass bottles which are better for bottling Homebrew. Reuse of the bottles is what pushed me towards this beer today. Pretty good beer though!

BTW , If anybody sees beer in brown 1 liter lever top (like grolsch) bottles please let me know. I can buy empty bottles for $3+ but buying beer in them and just paying the deposit (about $1.50 usually for that type bottle) usually works out better assuming its a good beer.

Opa Opa is a good rich grainy tasting beer.

Should put me in just the right mood by the 4th quarter of the Miami game tonight.

Lets see ....it works out to about $1.30 per 12 OZ , that's competitive I guess for such a rich tasting beer. Don't know the ABV off hand.
