Friday after work I went to the Flying Pig in Malvern for a couple of beers. First up was Scrimshaw Pilsner from North Coast Brewing Company. This was a pretty unremarkable pilsner. Perhaps because our local pilsners from Victory and Sly Fox are so good my expectations are skewed. I followed that with a Cape of Good Hope Imperial IPA from Yards Brewing Company. Again, I found this to be an unremarkable beer. Later that night I made it to the Craft Ale House in Limerick. I started there with a Mongo DIPA from Port Brewing Company. Now that's more like it. This is a very good DIPA. Finally I had a Founder's Breakfast Stout. I have said before that this is the best Stout I've ever had but tonight for some reason it was just very good.
On Saturday I went to Appalachian Brewing Company in Collegeville. I started with Batch 666 which they told me was a "stout-like" beer. This was a nice enough beer but doesn't compare to that Breakfast Stout I had last night. I followed with a pumpkin ale which was very good. Not over the top with pumpkin but just right. It looks like this...
On the way home I had to pass right by Iron Hill in Phoenixville so I stopped in there to see what was going on. I started with a Saison which was good. I followed that with a Hoppopotamus which is an American Amber Ale. This is a very very good beer. I enjoyed the heck out of that one. But, $6 for the Saison and $7 for the Hoppopotamus seems a little high to me.
