1244. Penumbral IPAJadyn and I had dinner at the CBC on October 13th. I passed up pumpkin beers to try this one. From the website:CBC inaugurates it’s new Tabula Rasa specialty beer series with Penumbral I.P.A., an almost black Belgian India Pale Ale… [...]
I’ll admit it, the idea of a session beer was alien to me before moving to this country. I couldn’t hear the phrase without thinking of the mis-heard lyric “a rock and roll session is a second pirate session of a strange wax.” from the Nurse with Wound cover of the Jacque Berrocal ditty from [...] [...]
Dopo tutti i preparativi, gli assaggi, il concorso, l’aperitivo, le chiacchierate è ora di comunicare il vincitore del concorso, e invidiarlo come si deve per le 18 bottiglie che si porta a casa con tanti saluti. E alla salute  [...]
Racked the Spiced Porter back on the 26th and it tasted pretty good, but it was a bit lighter in color than I anticipated. I took a gravity reading and calculated that the beer was only 68 percent attenuated — a ways to go before hitting my expected f… [...]

Valentine’s Day: a post.
Let’s just get it out on the table and call a spade a spade. I’m single. Between the 4:30pm and 11:30pm available reservation slots for tomorrow, the Anti-Valentine’s Day sentiment “clashing” with the love fest of Valentine’s Day, and all the hoopla about the commercialization of love, it’s easy to be a little bitter.

Iron Hill Brewery – Ron Burgundy
Welcome back! This week I am keeping it funky and breaking open a bottle I just picked up at one of my favorite local brewpubs.
