Ommegang Rouge on tap

It seems like I am always saying sorry for the delay. I guess I just have to live with the fact that although I may be religious about drinking good brews, my blogging could use some help.

With that said I went to the Ale House in Amesbury the other day where they had Ommegang Rouge on tap – which received a rating of A- on Beer Advocate. I have to say that I totally concur with the rating. To me it was a shining example of true traditional Flemish sour ale. So good.

After the Rouge I went for something lighter, the new Victory Sunrise Hefeweizen. It was a great summer beer. I am only an average Victory beer enthusiast, I like their Prima Pills, but not many others. I am glad to be able to add another to my list.

I did have a funny thing happen to me the other day. Some Joe at the liquor store tried to out beer me. I was polite and only said that I could hold my own in a conversation and that was about it. FYI – I could have totally have thrown down on him, but I did not.

If this blog does nothing else I hope it lets people know that girls do and can love beer – for some of us it is even our passion.

Ephemere after work

OK, so I have owed my reader (oh yes just have 1)a new blog update. So here it is. Tuesday we had a Cinco de Mayo office party and I brought in some homebrew Pale Ale for the office. Over all a success.
But more importantly right now we are Ephemere and Chimay Blu(ing) it up. It is so nice to sit on the porch and drink some good beers. Got to love the weekend.

A Rarity at The Barking Dog - Kentucky Breakfast Stout

Last night The Barking Dog in my town we had KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders. It may not sound like much, but wow it is good. It had a smell and consistency of a think European coffee. If you like a strong brew this is a good beer for you.

Our local pub also acquired 2 new varieties of Dieu Du Cie - One of those the Peche Mortel is on my top 5 favorite beer list.

I also partook in St. Bernardus Apt 12, and received a lot of unjustified grief over that choice. I was told it was a good beer, “but so common”. I would just like to say that just because a beer is common does not make it bad. It is a fantastic beer, and a great pairing for our cheese plate and seaweed salad dinner.

Luv The Pub - want to go there

So I pushed my sales reps really hard this month. In appreciation I wanted to take them out to lunch. Since I am in HQ in Boston, and they are in our Columbus OH office, it was not possible for me to be physically there. So I said “expense it”. You would not believe what they did. They went to a pub Luv The Pub that has TAPS IN THE TABLE. They know how much I love a good brew, and they knew how jealous I would be and they had to rub it in when they got back from lunch.

This place looks really cool. I can’t speak to the actual beer selection as I did not find it (to be honest I didn’t look that hard), but the concept seems cool.

Check it out.
