New Beer

I tried the Bear Republic Racer X tonight @ The Blue Monkey Tavern. Below is the description from their website:
Racer X™
Double IPA
ABV: 8.3% IBU: 100+ Color: Copper
With assertive American hop bitterness and aroma supported by a firm malt backbone,
Racer X is an uncommon Double IPA – a bold ale that follows English traditions with a California twist.

2009 California State Fair – BRONZE
2009 San Diego International Beer Competition – 2nd
2009 West Coast Beer Fest - GOLD

New labels for Left Hand's Imperial Stouts. Looks really Cool! Can't wait to try the barell aged one!

Pliny the Elder

I finally got to try PtE a few months back. Very Good Beer. Enjoyed it immensely and know I need to try Pliny the Younger.

Philly Beer Scene Magazine

For anyone in the Philly area, you have probably seen this magazine at your favorite local bar or beer retailer. If you haven't start looking for it, It is a great magazine concetrating on the local scene and has some good information. Very well done magazine. Check out their website where you can read past issues, look for events and purchase items such as this awesome 2010 Philadelphia Beer Scene Poster.
