Thursday, Friday, Hoppy Days.
\nThe weekend comes,
\nMy palate hums,
\nReady to drink with you.<\/p>\n
These days are all,
\nHoppy and Free. (Those Hoppy Days)
\nThese days are all,
\nShare them with 2beerguys. (oh baby)
\nGoodbye grey sky, hello beer.
\nThere’s nothing can hold me when I hold a tasty brew.
\nFeels so right, it can’t be wrong.
\nRockin’ and rollin’ all weekend long.<\/p>\n
Well, a weekend is arriving. There are plans for reviewing and brewing a new batch of beer (On Sunday). If you are in the area and want to hang out, drop us a line.<\/p>\n
I am a week late, but last Thursday<\/strong> Amber and I joined the Leary’s crew for a quick tasting. We tried Anheuser-Busch’s Beach Bum Blonde Ale <\/strong>(not good), Michelob Bavarian-Style Wheat <\/strong>(Armoatic with hints of banana and lemon – better than the Beach Bum), Allagash Interlude <\/strong>(Allagash used a new brewing process, special fermentation, and French oak barrel aging all contribute to a beer that has wine-like qualities. It tasted more like a red wine than a beer. It was OK, but I couldn’t see myself drinking a whole bottle.) and we finished with a Whirlwind Wit<\/strong> from Victory.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.allagash.com\/interlude.htm <\/a> We try to make it to Leary’s on Thursday nights. Last night we didn’t make it, but if you would like to go, just let us know.<\/p>\n Friday (18th) and Saturday (19th)<\/strong> was a weekend of reviews. I guess it’s true. When the wife’s away, the cat gets to play. MEOW… Here’s a list of beers that we reviewed over the two days…..<\/p>\n Middle Ages Brewing Company <\/strong> Alesmith Brewing Company<\/strong> North Coast Brewing Company<\/strong> Avery Brewing Company<\/strong> Boulder Beer Company<\/strong> Anchor Brewing Company<\/strong> Oskar Blues Brewery <\/strong> Sierra Nevada Brewing Company<\/strong> Shipyard Brewing Company<\/strong> Thomas Hooker Brewing Company<\/strong> Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n * Yes, we had a beer in a can. The Old Chub Scotch Ale <\/strong>was very tasty. From what we have read, the beer should stay fresher in the can vs. a bottle. BRING ON THE CANS!!!!<\/p>\n * The Export Ale<\/strong> from Shipyard was tastier than the Winter Ale Special brew<\/strong>.<\/p>\n * The Highest score (for this weekend) was given to The Maharaja Imperial India Pale Ale<\/strong>. It’s a double IPA and was very potent.<\/p>\n * I wasn’t too impressed with the Anchor Liberty and Small beer. After having all of these other strong beers, either our palate was in heaven or they weren’t as tasty as we expected.<\/p>\n * I would like to go on the record to say that the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale<\/strong> is better than the IPA<\/strong>. To me, the Pale Ale has a dominate hop presence and the IPA was weak.<\/p>\n We are getting very close to 400. We might be celebrating the 400th beer on Sunday at Ian’s house while we are brewing. We have decided to brew a Belgian Wit beer that we have decided to call: “Wallen’s Wit and our Good Looks”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
