Beer of the week (Nov. 5)

Oskar Blues Old Chub Nitro Scotch Ale

Recommended by: Steven Haines, House of Schwan

Price: $9.49 to $9.99 for a four-pack of cans

Tastes like: “It has a bold, malty character that is creamy and smooth.”

Pairs well with: Smoked meats and vegetable stew

Comments: “Old Chub Nitro is the first beer nitro’d in a can ever! And the boys at Oskar Blues nailed it. After your first drink, you will be in malty smoothness euphoria. Perfect beer for fall activities, inside or outside. Because it’s in a can, you can take it anywhere.”
