Italian beer & crayfish

Anna had collected abunch of Italian beers on her vacation to Sardinia, and we also had a few beers left that Don Bible had brought us. furthermore it was time for a traditional crayfish party, so why not combine all of that?
Most of the Italian beers was pale lagers without too much character, but Moretti La Rossa was a brilliant exemption. it is a brown-red red strong malty, mellow lager.
Also the Emrican microbrews were generally lightbodied, but have far for character than the Italian lagers we tried. The best of the US microbrews this evening was Thomas Kemper Viking Fest Summer Ale
