Last night after work I stopped in at the Drafting Room in Exton because they had a couple of beers on the menu that I wanted to try. First up was an Original Ale from Boxcar Brewing Company. I wanted to try this one because apparently Boxcar is a new brewery in West Chester, PA and I work in West Chester. It was a pleasant pale ale but as I was drinking it I thought, "if you are going to start a brewery in Victory's back yard you should make extreme beers", which this was not. But what do I know? I wish Boxcar the best of luck and I will continue to support them as I do with all the local beers.
Next up was a Saison du Potts from Dock Street. This is an excellent farmhouse ale. One of the best I have ever had. I wanted to have another one right after the first but it violates my "never have the same beer in a row" rule.
Next I had a Shark Attack from Port Brewing Company. This is a double red ale and it is a very nice beer indeed as I have come to expect from Port Brewing.
I ended up the evening at the Drafting Room with a Heavy Seas - Small Craft Warning from Clipper City Brewing Company. This is an imperial pilsner or uber pils (it would be really cool if I could figure out how to put those two dots above the "u" in uber). I must admit I am not a big fan of this beer. Maybe it's me but I just didn't like the taste.
Later in the night I made my way to the Sly Fox in Phoenixville. I wanted to have another one of those Keller Pikeland Pils but it apparently kicked shortly before I got there so I had to settle for a US Saaz Keller Pils which happens to be a very good pils but for some reason I prefer the Keller Pikeland.
I can't wait to see how my adventure goes today (Saturday).
