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.

Totally forgot to mention Black Albert and It's Alive

Last night we had this funky beer (I mean literally funky, as it was a Flemish sour ale or possibly just a sour ale) called It's Alive. The beer was OK, but the name rocked. I would totally order it again, not for the beer but for the wine.

AND....... just remembered that she learned a little trivia - the Black Albert brewed by the Struisse Brewery of Belgium references her favorite Maine (the entire state) bar. Ebenezer's Kezker Pub in Lovell Maine. I totally remember our friend Chris (the owner) telling us about it but totally blanked (or Blacked - sorry could not stop the pun from coming out) on it. It was so cool to see. Chris is such a great guy and his bar rocks, if anyone ever reads this blog if they take anything away from it - please take the suggestion to visit the pub.
