On Friday night I went to TJ's Restaurant and Drinkery in Paoli for a couple of beers. Up first was an Oasis from Tallgrass. This is the second time I've had this beer and I enjoyed it just as much this time as last. I followed with a Hoptical Illusion from Bluepoint Brewing Company. Actually, it was from a firkin and it was pretty darned good. I have had a love/hate relationship with this beer. I have had many cases of this beer and they were always great. Then one day I got a keg to take home and it was horrible. I actually returned it to the distributor. It was the only keg I have ever returned. So for the past couple of years I have shied away from giving it another try. Maybe I will give it another shot.
On Saturday, after a beautiful afternoon of playgrounds and bicycling, I took my 3 kids to Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny to quench our thirsts. I started with a Mongo DIPA from Port Brewing Company. Yeah, this is a good DIPA. The kids were well-behaved. So much so that I dared to order another beer. This time it was Double Trouble from Founder's Brewing Company. Ah yes, another fine DIPA. I must admit that I enjoyed the Port a little better. This may or may not have something to do with the order in which I drank these. I guess another experiment is in order.
