Nebraska

This beer has been peering out at me from the back of the fridge for a couple weeks now... I think this beer is a survivor of a craft beer house party we had two months ago, but (like any good house party) I don't really remember a whole lot of details about that night. I knew no other details about this beer, other than the fact that Lucky Bucket is somewhere in Nebraska, so I decided to open this bottle up in case the beer inside wasn't meant to age more than a few months. What I found inside was definitely evil...

The story behind my bottle of Mélange à Trois is a rather torrid and disturbingly lengthy tale that spans four state lines and three calendar months. What started with a simple text message culminated in my 250th review on this website. I first learned of Nebraska Brewing Company's Mélange à Trois probably about a 9 months ago. I'd heard a lot of good things about the brewery in Papillion, Nebraska and eagerly wanted to drive up there and check it out for myself. They were making some pretty interesting beers and I wanted to try all of them, there was just that small matter of driving three and a half hours... This summer a friend of mine made the trek up to Omaha and stopped by Papillion on my suggestion. He asked if I'd ever tried the Mélange à Trois, saying he was bringing me one back because he found it to be amazing. I was elated.
