Lately, it seems like every time I write something for The Tasty Morsel, the first sentence has to do with how it's been forever since I last wrote something and then promise to try and be more active in writing about our wonderfully exciting lives. The streak continues.
The pictures below were uploaded to the site and sat dormant since March 4th 2014. Oh these lonely pictures! No words to join them or help explain the reason for their existence! I guess it matters very little since no one really reads anymore. Well, people read, but only in short bursts that help enable the restless and disinterested in passing time. Maybe a top ten list will be my next foray into writing: 'Top Ten Reasons We Eat'. "That sounds mildly interesting" you say, "I eat and I've always wondered why, please go on!" Maybe I should create a quiz along the lines of 'What Cheese are You?' or 'Which Dive Bar Should You Black Out In?'. That would be interesting, right?
Oh, I digress. You must have caught me in a cynical mood. Maybe looking at all these pictures of beers is making the thirsty little gremlin that lives in my belly very unhappy. Maybe I'm writing as if I were in a bad mood to deflect my chronic procrastination and inability to stay committed and active with a project. Oh boy, look what I've done, gone and turned a good bunch of pictures of previously consumed beers into a few sentences on self-loathing! I just realized that I began several sentences with 'Maybe'. Isn't this the most self-aware article you've ever read? You must be asking yourself, "Why are there so many questions being asked of me?".
These pictures were meant to be a follow-up to a previous article entitled, '
Tasting Notes - The Beginning'. Well, here's the next installment ...
Here we have a delicious grapefruit IPA from Stone. I believe this was a limited release which went under '
Stochasticity Project'. You can read more about it in the link posted in the previous sentence. From what I remember, it was delicious. I haven't seen it again in stores, so if you'd like to try it, you're bummed.
Here's a bock from
Anchor Brewing. I bet it was pretty delicious, they always make good beer consistently.
Matt's Burning Rosids is an offering from
Stone that serves as a memorial to one of their friends and co-workers who passed away. A very delicious and unique beer. An Imperial Saison seems to be a contradiction and an adventure, but if you read Sone's memorial to their lost brother, it seems a fitting combination.
Lagunitas is another consistently good beer and rather easy to get a hold of as far as craft beers go. If you're into stouts that lean toward coffe, then this will work for you.
Brewery Ommegang is always on top of their game. This is
Fleur de Houblon, a delicious Belgian Pale. Unfortunately, a limited release, so I'll tell you it was one of the most delicious beers I have ever tasted in the Belgian style.
Here's a beer from a brewery local to us,
Strand Brewing Co. They have a good line of beers and this was a limited release stout.
I can't remember where I got a hold of this
Punk IPA from Brewdog. I also can't remember how it tasted. Sorry!!!
Pearl Necklace is an oyster stout from
Flying Dog. Besides the clever name, the beer is not as dirty as one would expect a beer brewed with oysters to be.
Here's the Dream Pils from
Mikkeller. I trust everything Mikkeller. I've never had a bad beer from this Danish brewery and I'd love to drink their beer more often, but it's rather pricey. Quality has a price.
Lastly another offering from Lagunitas. Like I mentioned previously, these guys put out good tasting product that is very easy to get a hold of.
Day Time Ale not being an exception. This is a delicious ale with a relative low ABV of %4.65 it means you can drink it and not be upside-down after 3+.
Now I'm thirsty, but in an exercise of restraint and moderation I will be taking this weekend of from imbibing and hopefully get another article together in a somewhat timely manner. Vaya con Dios!
