On Wednesday I made my way to the Drafting Room in Exton after work. I started with an Endeavor from Bear Republic. I knew this was an English-style IPA so I didn't have my hopes up. The English are not big fans of hops and an English IPA is likely to be what we might call a pale ale at best. I got exactly what I expected. It was a nice enough beer as you would expect from Bear Republic but I just don't care for the style. I had to have a Bell's Two Hearted after that one just to get my hop levels back where they belong.
Tonight (Friday) I went to the Craft Ale House in Limerick. It seems like such a long time since I was here. I started with a Cascazilla Imperial Red Ale from Ithaca Beer Company. This is a solid performer every time. Not great but very good. Next up was a DuganA IPA from Avery Brewing Company. This is actually an Imperial IPA coming in at 8.5% abv. It is a very good beer.
I bought a mixed case of Erie Brewing Company to take to Thanksgiving dinner. I must say that I'm disappointed in this one. The Railbender Ale is good as always but I'm not a big fan of the other three beers in the case. They are Presque Isle Pilsner, Mad Anthony's APA and Misery Bay IPA.
