Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey.
Heineken Silver was pitched to me as the perfect golf course beer. That’s an easy sell; most beers are great golf course beers, particularly those you’ve snuck onto the links in assorted bag pockets and gotten the chance to crack whilst still sweating. That first clandestine beer, sipped before the rest could catch up to air temperature (assuming you don’t have a handy cooler), is one of the great pleasures in the dad world. It’s akin to finding your favorite style of New Balances at Costco or making your first post on a Big Green Egg grill forum.
