The Last Drops

Posted In Beer

Yep, one of these days I really will DL the rest of the GTMW pics for your viewing pleasure, I swear, but just a few notes from this past week:

‘Tis the Saison

Larry at Iron Hill West Chester unleashed his staff onto his Saison, allowing them to funk-defy it in whatever unadulterated way they deemed tasty.  Then he invited the world to come sample the formulations and vote on their favorites.  The varieties included La Peche Mode (peaches, honey, rhubarb, and a little too much pepper…), Betrayal (black licorice-ish), Awesome Sauce (pineapple, honey, and mango- hmmm… don’t have to think too hard about that name right?), and Chai’natown Bus, the clear winner of the group that gives new meaning to being tea-bagged while drinking.  Interesting concept and IH will be brewing the ChaiBus, hopefully available soon.

Chocolate Starfish

What the eff was going through the Left Hand marketing team when they named a beer after the glory hole?  Nice ingredient list too- cola, coffee, and chewy raisins, all the makings of a… no, that’s even too gross for me to say!  What’s next?  The Brown Eye-PA?

UJ’s Wedding

Everyone’s favorite bartender at Union Jacks’ (this week at least) attached his balls to a sturdy chain (we call her Liz) this past Monday night at Union Jacks, complete with dinner, open bar (Dreamweaver, Two Hearted, the grape stuff and the clear stuff), and an awesome concert from the totally popular local band Frog Holler.  Congrats guys!
