Finding organic beers has been a bit of a trial over the last 6 weeks. I've expended the resources of all my local bars and delis and there are still a few elusive brews I want to get my hands on. Eel River, New Beligium, and the new Anheuser Busch organics (the first mainstream attempt at organic) are a few that I've yet to try. NYC isn't known for convenient beer and grocery shopping, but I will make the trip to Whole Foods, which is quite a bit out of the way (8 subway stops and 1 transfer) to load up on anything and everything I haven't tried. Who knows, maybe I'll have an organic beer tasting party. We'll have to see how many I can find.

Sadly, It does seem like my little beer blog might be coming to an end soon, so I'd like to ask you, loyal reader, what direction the blog should take after we run out of beer brands. Maybe organic wine? Organic liquor? I eagerly await your comments below.

Spring finally came to New York this week and it was the prefect weather to try the last selection available at my favorite post-work bar.

Name: Sara's Buckwheat Ale

The Background: I couldn't find much information about the company who makes Sara but they are very proud of their Eco-CERT.

The European controlling organization ECOCERT has awarded the ORGANIC certificate to the SARA Buckwheat beer. That's a nice accomplishment for the brewery, since it is not easy to get this certificate.

What they say: Easy drinking beer, goes with meat-dishes and with fish-dishes, or just for a pleasant refreshing drink with crackers in the evening. Serve cool in Champagne bucket under ice. A real thirst quencher. The black that offers extremely good food value; used for thousands of years to restore unbalanced digestive systems and help lower blood pressure.

What I say: You can smell the fruit right from the bottle. The first pour gave large unwieldy head and after I tasted it I could see why right away. It seems over-carbonated and too fizzy in the mouth. It almost had a champagne quality; funny that they mentioned serving it in the champagne bucket in their description.

The taste was pleasant, it had a number of different fruit qualities but I was overwhelmed with a currant and cherry taste. It was sweet but not too overpowering, like a lambic. The label calls it a witbeer but I really don't see this living in that category. It was more of a refreshing dry light ale.

I haven't tried a buckwheat ale before, but I loved it on this hot day. And according to their description, it's good for me—another round please!
