The Week in Review (What I drank in a sentence or less)

The Week in Review (What I drank in a sentence or less)

• Russian River-Damnation-Russian River beers are highly regarded and living in the Philly region, I am lucky to be in the only east coast distribution area. Good stuff.
• Stone-Ruination IPA-HOPS!
• Iron Hill-Luca Brasi Coffee Stout-Had this on tap for the release and it was very good. Great coffee flavor.
• Iron Hill-Decaf-This is the Nitro version of the above without the coffee added and again a very good beer.
• Dogfish Head-Pangaea-Brewed with ingredients from each continent.
• Philadelphia Brewing Co-Harvest from the Hood-A wet hop ale brewed with hops grown from a local garden not far from the brewery.
• Otto's Pub-Double D IPA-A very solid offering from the State College Brew pub.
• Horseheads Brewing-IPA-A surprisingly good IPA. My Dad said he really likes this beer so I figured it was not very hoppy-I guess his tastes are changing because it is quite hoppy.
• Butternuts-Moo Thunder-A canned Milk Stout-I've seen the Butternuts beers all over and never paid them much attention as they seem to be more about the marketing than the beer. This, however was a good beer-Nothing complex or earth shattering but a very good Milk Stout.
• Butternuts-Snapperhead IPA-Not quite as good as the previous offering but not awful.
• 
  

The Week in Review (What I drank in a sentence or less)

• Breckenridge Brewing-Porter Porter-Part of their Small Batch Series, a very good &% Porter. Enjoyed this bomber in the SA 22oz glass!
• Breckenridge Brewing-Mighty Brown-Another of their Small Batch Series and again a solid beer.
• Bullfrog Brewery-Gothika-This is a collaboration brew with Bavarian Barbarian and is described as a Bourbon Lagered Dopplebock. Had it on tap at Bullfrog and it was pretty good but not the best Bourbon barrel beer I've had.
• Bullfrog Brewery-KFC pumpkin Stout-Not sure what the KFC is but this was an interesting beer in it's description-basically a Milk Stout with some roasted sugar pumpkin and pie spices. It didn't really work for me.
• Bullfrog Brewery-Edgar IPA, an 8% IPA and a solid IPA at that. Great tap handle as well.
• Otto's Pub-Slab Cabin-Picked this up from Wegman's Williamsport. It is from a brewpub in State College. Pretty solid IPA and priced at $3.99 a bomber.
• Fegley's Brew Works-Hop Explosion-Had this on tap at the Blue Monkey. It was not very hoppy at all and a disappointment given I have enjoyed their other beers I tried.
• Mikkeller-Beer Geek Brunch-UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!
• Founders Backwoods Bastard-I love this beer and look forward to it each year.
• Sierra Nevada-Northern Hemisphere-A great, fresh hops beer.
• Slyfox-O'Reilly's Stout-3.8% and a great way to end the night at The Blue Monkey

Bullfrog Brewery

While travelling for work, I was in Williamsport PA and stopped at the Bullfrog Brewery for the first time. The food was good and the Beers were better. I will include the beers I drank in my "The Week in Review".

New Show Alert

Brew Masters: Series Premiere : Video : Discovery Channel

Premiering 11/21/10 on Discovery Channel! Should be good.

The Week in Review (What I drank in a sentence or less)

• Guinness Foreign Extra Stout-Available for the first time in the US and the best of the 3 Guinness. I had it first in St. Lucia and then a second time at the brewery in Dublin. Now it is available here.
• Stone San Diego Session Ale-A collaborative brew with Ballast Point and North Park Beer.
• Sierra Nevada Estate Homegrown Ale-A wet hop ale. I had it at the Bell tasting this past weekend, quite good.
• Bell's Expedition Stout-Very Good. Will age well at 9.5%.
• Founders Breakfast Stout-Again, a great beer!
• Terrapin Side Project The Dark Side-Another Stout for the week, and another good one.
• Coffee Porter (My home brew)-After all those stouts I figured I would revisit my Coffee Porter which is quite "stoutish".

The Week in Review (What I drank in a sentence or less)

• Stone Vertical Epic 10.10.10-Good beer, described as a Belgian Tripel with a couple of left turns. This reminds me a little of DFH Red and White.
• Southern Tier Harvest Ale-Had it on tap at the Blue Monkey, a solid sessionable fall beer!

• Evolution Brewing Lot No. 3 IPA-I picked up a 6 pack while staying in Salisbury MD. Very Solid IPA at a great price.

• Evolution Brewing Lucky 7 Porter-Had it on tap at The Greene Turtle in Salisbury MD while watching the Phillies game.

• Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale-I have not had this beer in quite a while and forgot how good it was.

• Lagunitas IPA-Had it at Blue Monkey while watching The Phillies game....Good IPA.

• Evolution Brewing Menagerie 2-I purchased a growler of this at the brewery, it is their Lucky 7 porter aged for 6 months in bourbon barrels and then added to a smaller amount of their Coffee Stout-Delicious!

• Lilja's Sasquatch Stout-Another of the amazing Bell Beverage Case deals, $10.99 a case, I bought 2! Good Stout!

• Lilja's Pulling Boat Pale Ale-Yes, another $10.99 case. What more can I say!

• Founders Breakfast Stout-Such a good beer. I purchased this 4 pack at the West Deptford Canal's. Great Beer.

• Duck Rabbit Milk Stout-From NC and the Dark Beer specialists.....A great Milk Stout

• Brown's Brewing Oatmeal Stout-Brown's Brewing from Troy NY (I have never heard of them). A friend gave this to me and it was a decent beer. I'll have to research this brewery and see what else they have.

Evolution Brewing Co

While travelling for work this week, I ventured out and found a beer place I had not been to yet. Evolution Brewing Co in Delmar De. It is located about 10 miles north of Salisbury MD. I stopped in Wednesday afternoon to sample the beers and buy a growler. I sampled 5 beers on tap and all were pretty good but my favorite was the Lucky 7 Porter aged in Bourbon barrels and then infused with the Rise Up Coffee Stout and so this was the growler I purchased. They also have 4 regular beers available in bottles, Lot No. 3 IPA, Exile ESB, Primal Pale Ale and Lucky 7 Porter. All of their beers are good but I especially liked the 5 on tap at the (small) brewery. I will certainly stop back in the next time I am in this area and will hope to get another draft only beer!
