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".

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!

Not your typical Pumpkin Beer!

I picked up a new beer from Heavy Seas from their Mutiny Fleet line of Beers. It is an Imperial Pumpkin Ale aged in Bourbon barrels. I have been loving the barrel aging trend (especially Backwoods Bastard from Founder's and many others) and this one really intrigues me as it is a Pumpkin beer, sounds good even though I am not a huge fan of Pumpkin beers. This beer comes in at 9% abv and reading the beeradvocate reviews, I think I will enjoy it. I have also enjoyed many of the newer releases from Heavy Seas lately, most recently I had Smoke on the Water (a smoked porter) and it was quite good. After this, I will be trying the newest Rogue John John Ale-Hazelnut aged in Rum Barrels. You have to love some of these creations lately-quite unique!
