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".

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".
