That means he\u2019s consumed at least 12,200 beers there.<\/p>\n<p>Gary says Goldcrest 51 is one of the best beers the Saucer offers. That was the beer the old Tennessee Brewery made, one of the top sellers in the country in the 1940s. About 10 years ago, the family that had owned the brewery found the Goldcrest 51 recipe and started brewing new batches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, Gary,\u201d I protested. \u201cI tried a can before the pandemic. I didn\u2019t think it was that good.\u201d As a PBR drinker, I have very high standards for beer taste.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTry it again,\u201d Gary advised. \u201cThey had the recipe messed up at first. The adjusted recipe is one of the smoothest-drinking beers I\u2019ve ever had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t get a chance to try a Goldcrest 51 yesterday but will soon. The Saucer and Westy\u2019s have it in cans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27564\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?resize=383%2C500\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?resize=383%2C500 383w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?resize=230%2C300 230w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?resize=1177%2C1536 1177w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?resize=1200%2C1567 1200w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/img_1356.jpg?w=1532 1532w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 85vw, 383px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Saucer has announced a new giveaway for the month.
