Saisons or Pliny The Elder

I made it to Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny Saturday for their event, "Saisons In The Sun" but I was toting my 3 daughters along so I knew I couldn't stay long.  My first was Saison By The Sea from Coronado Brewing Company.  I love Saisons but this one was only average.  In fact, for my second beer I didn't even have another Saison but opted for a Double IPA instead.  How could I go to a Saison event and not drink Saisons?  Well, the DIPA on tap was Pliny the Elder.  Case closed.  We still had one more playground visit before the day was through so Pliny seemed like a fitting closer.

Nice Drive in the Country

Yesterday was such a nice day I had to take a drive in the country with the family.  By chance the kids fell asleep just as we were nearing Union Jack's Inn on the Manatawny.  So I went in to give the kids a chance to sleep and my wife a chance to enjoy the peace and quiet.

I had 2 really nice IPA's.  The first was an Islander IPA from Coronado Brewing Company.  I have had this in a bottle before an thought it was OK.  This is the first time I have had it on draught and it was much better.  My second beer at Union Jack's was a Conductor IPA from Steamworks Brewing Company.  This is actually an imperial IPA.  It was a pleasant enough beer but I have had other imperial IPA's that I would prefer over this one (Port Hop 15 comes to mind).  Regardless, I enjoyed two very nice beers and left a happy customer.
