Day 338 - Stovepipe Porter

Totally changed it up tonight, with a glass of the dark stuff. Given the name gives it away, no need to point out the obvious.

So yes, the color of good dark maple syrup, and that roasted malt smell that loudly announces what will come. Actually, just a very full-flavored beer, as comforting as the old sweatshirt and sweatpants you wear around the house on weekends that your wife hates..... ;>)

Specs:

Full Name: Stovepipe Porter

Brewed By: Otter Creek Brewery

From: Middlebury VT

ABV: 4.4%

Ok, I don't recall this blog being about finding the lowest ABV beers available, but it seems that way lately. Tomorrow, I end it, even if I have to drink that Bud in the fridge. Well, maybe I won't go that far......

Cheers!

Day 105 - Otter Summer Ale

I drank the beer, but ran out of time/steam last night to write it up, after driving 9 hours from MA, to arrive just in time to watch Liz and friends posing for prom pictures (yikes...but she and friends made it home at 4 something, so that bridge is crossed...), then going out to dinner with the Procs to crashing and burning.

Of course, now I have to remember something about it. Hum, it has a rather calm, pleasant label....

Specs:

Full Name: 'Otter Summer Ale
Brewed By: Otter Creek Brewing
From: Middlebury VT
ABV: Unknown, probably 5-6% I'm guessing

So, this is a very light wheat ale, easy to drink without much distraction. A good beer to have out on a summer evening while watching the sunset. This brewery makes a palie that is 11% ABV, so may have to track it down.

Hopefully I will be back on track tonight again, with 260 more to go... ;>)
