Saturday afternoon I was able to stop into Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny. My wonderful wife dropped me off for a 20 minute break while she kept the kids asleep by driving though the countryside. With only 20 minutes I had to work fast. Up first was a Dock Street Rye IPA. I am partial to Rye beers and this one is up there with the best of them. It is nicely balanced, not overdone with hops the way some IPA's can get.
My next beer was something I never heard of. The tap said "Butuese Brassin". The bartender said it was a Tripel. I was in a Tripel kind of mood so I got one. It was a very nice Tripel at that. But was it a Belgian Tripel or a Belgian-style Tripel? Honestly, I wouldn't know until I got home to my computer. Union Jack's website called this beer "LE TROU DU DIABLE BUTUESE BRASSIN SPECIAL". A Google search took a little more effort than usual to find this beer. As it turns out, it was a Belgian-style Tripel (not a real Belgian Tripel) but worse...it was from Canada. I have to give them credit though. I couldn't tell that it was not a true Belgian beer. Would I order another one. You bet.
