This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Lil Hazy Ale.
This year, Saranac introduced a special summer can pack called the Weekend Warrior variety pack. Its kind of ironic considering that there is less to do on the weekend this year, but I digress.
The Weekend Warrior pack includes the Lil Hazy Ale, along with another new beer - Saranac Juicy Ale and old friend Saranac Session Ale (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2013/07/sunday-night-suds-saranac-session-ale.html).
I used this beer as my havdallah beer this week and it filled its role perfectly. Its crisp, but not too biting to be consumed in a series of large sips in order to drink the shiur for Havdallah. Since this is Saranac there was ample carbonation and decent lacing on the tulip glass which I used in place of a Kiddush cup (you can't put beer in a silver cup, unless its the Stanley Cup)..
I have not seen this beer sold in anything but the Weekend Warrior Box and I am unaware of this beer being sold in six or twelve packs, so if you want this beer you need to pick up the mix box.
The Lil Hazy Ale is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as is every other beer produced at the Matt Brewery plant in Utica, NY. Keep in mind, Saranac brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
