fI have been super busy lately with my work and trying to transition into full time thesis writing so haven't taken the time to write a new post. I want to do a good review of a good homebrewing book I have, but that's for another time. For now I will share my experience with four interesting beers I've had recently.
Four special beers I recently sampled. All good, not all great.
As reported in my last post, after purchasing ingredients for the Pumpkin Porter my friend and I walked over to a local beer store that sells by the bottle. There were at least two beers I wanted to find and I came home with four: Southern Tier's Pumpking (far left above), an imperial pumpkin ale; Dogfish Head's Punkin (far right above), a brown ale with spices and pumpkin; Wells' Banana Bread Beer (middle right above); and Stone's Smoked Porter w/ Vanilla Bean (middle left above). The first two had been on my short list of reportedly "good" pumpkin beers I wanted to try this season. The banana bread beer was something I saw somewhere else but didn't want to buy a full 6-pack of and grabbed a single bottle of it to give it a try. The Stone porter was something I had a local bar recently and had to try it again I enjoyed it so much the first time.
