Yesterday I went to Union Jack's Congo Hotel in Barto for a beer because I was in the area. I had a Stone IPA. This is a nice IPA and it did the trick. The day before I went to the Craft Ale House in Limerick to have a couple of cold ones. I started with a Weyerbacher Oscar. This is a "hoppy hef". That is, a hefeweizen with a little more hops than is traditional. I thought it was pretty good. I followed that with another Weyerbacher product. It was their IPA Project #4743. There was nothing wrong with it but it wasn't the greatest IPA I've ever had. I ended with a Bell Ringer from RJ Rocker's Brewing Company. They are out of Spartanburg, SC and this particular beer is an American Strong Ale. I enjoyed it. I also tried a Long Trail Triple Bag. It was OK but not my style.
In the last week or so I had other beer adventures that I didn't have time to blog about so here is an abbreviated entry. At TJ's in Paoli, I had a Double Jack (DIPA) from Firestone Walker. This was my first taste of this brewer and based on Double Jack I think I am going to have many more experiences with this brewer. At the Pickering Creek Inn in Phoenixville I had an Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast Brewing Company. This is a very good example of the style. At the Flying Pig in Malvern, I had a Carneval from Lost Abbey. This is like a dry Royal Weisse. Very nice. Back again to TJ's in Paoli for a cask conditioned Racer 5. Awesome as usual. And one day in the not so distant past I made my way to Teresa's Next Door in Wayne. I had a Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewing Company which is always fantastic. I followed that with a USALive from Mikkeller. This is a nice Belgian Strong Pale Ale with just a hint of funk from the brettanomyces. This is a very interesting beer.
