True story

Some guys will just never embrace craft beer. My neighbor Al is one of these.

Al is 55-60 years old. He spends most of his time hanging out in his garage with his buddies, drinking beer. Their beverage of choice is Milwaukeee's Best, as evidenced by the stacks of cans in his garage.

The other day, I went over to his place to throw some horseshoes. He offered me a beer that turned out to be Ska's Mexican Logger. Mexican Logger is Ska's lightest-bodied and easiest-drinking beer. It's only 4.2 percent ABV and 18 IBUs, a summer seasonal intended for gulping around the barbecue.

He handed me the bottle with a frown. "I don't like it," he said. "It's too dark."
