Last Friday I had lunch at the Flying Pig in Malvern. Along with my usual cheesesteak I had Flower Power from Ithaca Beer Company. Both were excellent. That night after work I stopped in at TJ's in Paoli for a couple. First up was a Crooked Tree IPA from Dark Horse Brewing Company. This is a solid IPA. I followed that with a Union Jack IPA from Firestone Walker. Of course, this was awesome as usual.
I started to think I was having the same old beers in the same old places when all of a sudden I find myself in San Antonio, TX on business. I found this brewpub called Freetail Brewing Company. It was about 20 minutes from the airport but worth the trip. I had a flight of 7 beers and all were good (some were very good). Then I had a glass of their sour beer with a name I can't remember. I do remember it is their red ale, Danny Mijo, aged in barrels and soured. This was a fantastic sour beer. I swear I was getting some heat from this one (like some pepper beers I've had), but they said it must have been my imagination. Regardless, it was a joy to have one of these.
