It's Saturday afternoon and we are out for a ride hoping the kids will fall asleep. As we pass by the Craft Ale House in Limerick I have two sleepers and one wide awake. I continue down the road and as we approach Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny things get worse. Only one sleeper. I went in anyway because at this point I am pretty thirsty. I finally tried the Wheat Wine from Founders Brewing Company. It was an interesting spicey beer but not really my style (with the exception of the 10% abv). Union Jack's also had a California Dreamin' IPA from Manayunk Brewery and Restaurant. Manayunk beers have disappointed me in the past but it is usually my practice to continue going back to give disappointing brewers a second, third, fourth...shot at redemption. I must admit this beer was better than I expected...from Manayunk. Still though, it is not one which I will go out of my way for.
Later in the evening I slipped out to pick up some fast food to bring home for dinner. But first...a stop at the Sly Fox in Phoenixville. I had a Route 113 IPA. It was unremarkable (i.e. not great but not bad either). I also had a sample of the Gang Aft Agley that was pouring from the hand pump. This was a sweet and malty Scottish wee heavy. It would be a really nice beer if that is your style.
