Feeling in the mood for fancy pizza and fancier drink, I put on my Prada shoes and Armani jacket and drove my Porsche down to American Flatbread Burlington Hearth last night.
Just kidding.
I wore my ragged Burton parka and insufficiently-insulated jeans and walked there with snot frozen to my face. Anyway, there I found the holy grail of Vermont beer snobs and elitists, as shouted out by Gov. Peter Shumlin himself: the actual Gucci beer.
More specifically, it was the Gucci Cru, a Belgian dubbel-type ale brewed by Zero Gravity Craft Brewing. Naturally I had to order one to go with my special buffalo chicken flatbread. Like most Zero Gravity beers, it was stellar; a little fruity in the way Belgian beers should be, and nice and malty without being too sweet for my taste buds (full disclosure: I’m normally a hophead).
Best of all: A full pour of Gucci Cru did, indeed, cost $5. Right on, Jeb Spaulding.
