I hope you’re not flying East with all the weather delays. Safe trip!I have a work trip starting Thursday
I agree totally! But I’m afraid it’s a lost profession in the US anyway, with mostly microbreweries, beer bars, & IPA’s.It’s great fun visiting a bar where the bartender is such a pro and so knowledgeable.
Thanks Jack.I agree totally! But I’m afraid it’s a lost profession in the US anyway, with mostly microbreweries, beer bars, & IPA’s.
Happy Anniversary!
A whirlwind of breweries. Red Zeppelin A Whole Lotta (beer) LoveBack yesterday from work travel to Bettendorf, IA. My collegue and I made time to sample beers.
My first taste of Toppling Goliath Brewing's Psuedo Sue. Excellent. I did pick some up to bring home. The Crawford Brew Kolsch paired well with dinner.
An Saturday afternoon trip to Five Cities Brewing on the river front found me working a flight of beers.
The Blueberry Sourman was a standout. Excellent sour beer option.
During a visit to Adventurous Brewing I sampled a flight. The Hard Seltzer -Blood Orange Jalepeno (far right) was my choice and I enjoyed a glass after the flight.
The afternoon trip to the breweries meant we could enjoy a summer and warm time on their outside shaded decks. Truly an excellent afternoon.
After a late dry rub rib dinner I sipped a Big Grove Blackberry Sour. It hit the spot.
I arrived back home yesterday and continued my beer adventure with sipping a Founders Mortal Bloom and a Lake Town Brewery (clear Lake, IA) Red Zeppplin. Good balance between hops bitterness and the malts sweetness. It is an excellent Red Ale.
Cheers, Eric -
