About a case of New Glarus beer from a beer angel in Wisconsin. Tomorrow is going to be a good day...
Vellum said:Pliney the elder arrived today from farmhouse. Also I picked up a sixer of hopslam and drank a hardy porter at smartmouth brewing. Not a bad beer day for me!
What'd you think of the Hardy, Porter? I heard it was solid but not brilliant, like all their beers?
Vellum said:It is my favorite of their beers. All of their other beers have a medicinal taste to me that I don't particularly enjoy but the porter doesn't have that. Honestly though if they weren't a local business just a mile away from my house I probably wouldn't choose to drink their product. You heard correct that their beer is good but not brilliant (they are a young brewery and have time to become brilliant).
That being said, they are very friendly and the prices in the tasting room are low. Hopefully their product will change and grow.
They are coming out with an oatmeal stout on Feb 14 and a double ipa in early march. I look forward to trying them both.

If you've any interest, our next meeting is with Dan Yarnall (former brewer at Beqch Brewing, now head beer buyer) at Whole Foods in Va Beach. 7pm Wed Feb 13th. The club's evolved a lot in the recent past, and there's now a pretty solid core group who are dedicated to better beer.
