I'm not a big beer guy, but I'm a fan of Sierra Nevada's annual Celebration Ale. I noticed the Smoking Monk in one of my drawers the other day and figured I'd give it a shot. I got it in some random sampler a long time ago and figured why not. About halfway through as I type this and I can say it's a neat idea. Cigar blends specific to a type of drink. I can see where this could be awesome. The cigar itself has a decent taste and I can definitely see how it pairs with the IPA. Not a "this changes everything" type of deal, but I'm enjoying it and may try the others. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely not bad either.
