On the way to pick up our pizza tonight I stopped in for a quick drink at the Sly Fox in Phoenixville. I had a Columbus Pale Ale. This is a pretty nice pale ale, especially at the $2.50 price for happy hour.
On an unrelated note, I poured myself a Founder's Red's Rye last night and set it on the end table next to my chair while goofing around on the internet. I knew I was getting close to the bottom of that sixtel and I was going to savor this beer. I became involved in whatever it was that I was doing and didn't even get to take a sip when I heard the sound of a bug flying around the light on the end table next to me. Then it stopped. I grabbed my beer and prudently looked inside before taking a sip. And there is was. A stink bug floating on the top. If it was any other kind of bug I would probably have picked it out of the beer and drank the beer that the bug left behind. But a stink bug? I just couldn't do it. I poured the beer down the sink. On my way to the basement for a fresh Red's Rye I was lamenting my bad luck and thinking only I could have a stink bug land in my full beer. I then set the glass down, pulled the tap handle and...you guessed it. The keg kicked.
I did manage to get to Exton Beverage today at lunch to purchase my next keg. I chose Sierra Nevada Celebration. I hope to tap it a little later.
