Three nights in a row - I'm on roll. One of resolutions is holding up fairly well so far. We will see if I can keep it up and keep knocking off the beers.
Tonight was just hanging out watching some football, dining on some chili while it snowed outside. Sam was asleep, Kris came by and I cracked two more new beers.
On tap tonight:
Terrible from Unibroue (Rating = 4.0)
This is another entry from our friendly brewers up north - the Canadian Unibroue. I've enjoyed a couple of selections from these guys so far. I learned that this brewery was acquired multiple times and is now owned by the Japanese Sopporo. Weird. This one was surprising, dark and chocolately, but with some fruity taste to it. It definitely was on the strong side (10.5% alcohol). And in the write up, it referenced some old school rap (not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, from Run DMC's It's Tricky)). I think the idea in that write up - it is not terrible. Nice selection.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA (Rating = 3.0)
There are a few entries from Sierra Nevada in the book. Most are fairly hoppy and this one is consistent with that theme. It is a little too much for my taste, but it did have some good qualities and flavors. The tasting notes talk about grass and hay, but I just get hops and some bitterness. Not totally my jam, but not all bad either.
