I don’t want to make up a title.
Our window is still broken, and pieces of glass are slowly starting to fall onto our deck. It was supposed to be replaced sometime last week but the window from the manufacturer had a big scratch in it (it would have been nice to receive a call portland glass). Anyway, hopefully that will get replaced soon.
On Sunday, Goof, jefe, addie, the scientist and I all piled into the car and drove to Pittsfield for a BBQ/Beer tasting. I had never been to Pittsfield so it’s nice to be able to say I been someplace else, though I’d probably never go back accept for the fact that people I know live there. The beer this time was a lot more summery (i.e. light and/or fruity) which was a nice change from the very dark beers that we had last time. There were some pretty interesting beers there, here are some highlights (there were 13 total… I’ve only got 9 here and 8 named. If you remember let me know and I’ll update the list.):
- Fraoch Heather Ale - it is different. It reminded me of drinking a field.
- Chipotle Ale - Tastes a lot like smoked beer but milder.
- Ommegang Witte - A white beer that I brought. Very mild.
- Summer Lightning - Tastes very british to me but it was not warm so I liked it. (The scientist beer choice)
- Dave brought a porter that was really good but I can’t seem to remember what it was called. I was drink, shoot me.
- Sam Smith’s India Ale - This is the only Sam Smith’s beer that I’ve ever really liked and it wasn’t half bad. Though as jefe put it, “how can you mess up an IPA?”
- UFO - too fruity.
- Festina Peche - still too fruity (and I brought it).
- Elephant Malt - Okay for a malt, but I’m not a big malt fan.
I think fun was had by all (even Addie and Jess who did not drink due to age and pregnancy) though I had a small tummy ache this morning. Blah…
