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.

Halloween Treats

The kids fell asleep in the car Saturday afternoon and I found my way over to the Craft Ale House in Limerick.  With the wife and kids on the parking lot I didn't waste any time.  I tried the Terrapin Pumpkinfest.  This was an average pumpkin beer.  Not great but nothing wrong with it either.  At least the pumpkin wasn't overdone.  I couldn't resist ordering a Port Brewing Company Hop 15.  This is an excellent IPA.  I didn't have time to savor it but I still enjoyed the 10 minutes I had with this beer.  On the way out I grabbed a bottle of Coronado Islander IPA.  This was a nice IPA.  I will look for it on draught in the future to see if it is better than just "nice".
