Gordon Biersch Light

Monday, July 31st, 2006

I enjoyed a Gordon Biersch Light last night with dinner. Ariele made some chicken pesto pasta with brocolli, and the beer was a very nice compliment to the meal. I must be honest that I look toward the lighter beers, and lagers, when I select something to drink to accompany ...
