#195 Hop Hog

Friday the 13th, and I was hoping to break the bad luck with a palie. For some reason, someone decided that a heavy malt taste in a ipa would be good... dang it.

I should have guessed when the color lacked that orange glow, but I gave the benefit of the doubt. Alas, that went out the door with that first shot.

Ah well, it just shows ya that beer mirrors the unpredictability of life, or is it that life mirrors beer? Think, or drink, about it, you'll come to the same conclusion.. ;>)

Day 86 - Amish Four Grain

I'm thinking the link to Amish is tenuous at best here, but ignoring that, this is a very drinkable beer. A nice golden color, smooth malt flavor with a clean finish.

So, I was at the local beer supplier today to build pipeline, and couldn't help but notice that the vast majority of US beers available were from CA, VA, PA, MD, CO or OR, with only a very few from other states. I find this a bit curious, but it will take more than one beer to come up with a good reason for this (besides the obvious local ones).
