Still raising that glass

Post by ajcarp » Mon Nov 24, 2014 3:54 pm

We are still attempting to build some decent palates out west, even though we can only organize tastings a few times a year. Here is the lineup from our fall tasting last week. Had about 25 drinkers, and a few of those wimpy hangers on.

On another note. Spent a great weekend with Kai & Judy in Vancouver last week. Visited Parallel 49, Powell Street, Brassneck and Mainstreet breweries. Then dropped in at the Alibi Room and 12 Kings Pub.

Cheers :mebeer:

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
