My boss was kind enough to let me work from home today. I am sure I gave him more than 8 hours of solid performance but this also allowed me to get to the Sly Fox in Phoenixville by about 5:00pm. Last Friday I got there a little after 5:00pm and the place was mobbed. This time not so bad. I ordered a Jake's ESB which was OK. I asked JP about the crowd last week and he said it was because they were having their grand opening. That is typical of me. I stumble into a grand opening and don't even realize it. Of course the place opened several months ago but that is besides the point. Anyway getting back to tonight, after a little disappointment with the Jake's I had a Chester County Bitter from the hand pump. This is a really good session beer. I followed that with a good old Pikeland Pils and everything was OK.
Later in the evening I made my way to the Craft Ale House in Limerick. I started with a Pharmhouse Arrest from Philadelphia Brewing Company. I must admit I was a little disappointed. It wasn't bad but it was nothing to write home about. Then I had a Black IPA from 21st Amendment Brewery. This was a really nice beer. And now I'll show my ignorance. What is the difference between this style and a really good black and tan made from a nice IPA and porter?
Next up was a Big Eye IPA from Ballast Point. It was not as good as I remembered.
Let's go home and have a couple of good ones from the basement.
