Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Samuel Adams Whitewater IPA

Samuel Adams Whitewater IPA
Latest from brewery that's turning around my opinion of them. Has major hop flavor and citrusy kick in finish. Might be a bit of a miss because it's supposed to be hybrid IPA/white and I'm getting mostly IPA. Still, despite muddy color, would give most East Coast IPAs trouble.

The Rare Night Out: Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery

Last Thursday, I was coming home from work and for some reason I just started thinking about Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery. I don't know why. Maybe it was a long day. Maybe the daily pressures of child-rearing had just added up. But for whatever reason, I was thinking about the place and their incredible Thursday deal where they offer their very stellar brews for $2 each. I had decided. I was going to ask Wifey if we could go there for dinner. So imagine my surprise when i walk through the door and she tells me that her parents had OFFERED to watch Saucy Jr. so that we could go to Happy Hour! Unbelievable! After going through a few alternative choices (Capone's, Brother Paul's, the always reliable Chap's), we settled upon Rock Bottom, my choice from the beginning.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Avery Brewing Company White Rascal

Avery Brewing Company White Rascal
Belgian-style white ales are not always my favorite, but then again Colorado's Avery Brewing Company simply does not make a bad beer. This one's got a pungent citrusy kick and an unfiltered yeasty flavor with just the right amount of smooth aftertaste. Dig the coriander and orange peel spices!

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale

Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale
Took a little break from the diet this weekend to enjoy Philadelphia Beer Week. Went to Capone's (review coming) and got some stuff from their beer store, including a 21-ounce of this fabulously labeled marvel. Not as exceptional as their White Ale, but still a distinctive, slightly bitter delicassie.
