A day in the Country

Another Saturday afternoon in the country and I stopped in at Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny.  All three kids were asleep so I was able to go in by myself.  I had a 2XIPA from Southern Tier which apparently is pronounced 2 "times" IPA.  What do I know?  This is a pretty good double IPA but you gotta like hops.  I followed that with a Bell's Rye Stout.  This was a nice roasty stout but a little more carbonated than I expected.  Regardless, it was a great day in the country.

Union Jack's and Craft Ale House in One Weekend

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit both Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny and the Craft Ale House.  Union Jack's had an event on Saturday called the 12 Bell's of Christmas featuring beers from Bell's Brewery.  I started with a Rye Stout and followed with a Special Double Cream Stout.  Both were good but if I had to pick one it would be the SDC Stout.  At the Craft Ale House I had a Glacial Trail IPA from Central Waters Brewing Company.  I had never heard of this brewer.  I thought this was a good IPA.  It isn't necessarily memorable and it is more like a pale ale to me but I can't think of anything bad to say about this beer.  I will get it again.
