Forum of the Gods!

"Ale Street News presents a spirited round-table discussion with five of the biggest names in American craft brewing:

* CAROL STOUDT, Stoudt's Brewing

* SAM CALAGIONE,... Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

* VINNIE CILURZO, Russian River Brewing

* BRIAN GROSSMAN, Sierra Nevada Brewing

* LARRY SIDOR, Deschutes Brewery

This crew is producing some of the absolutely best beer in the world.

Join us for a one-of-kind session, to be moderated by Philly's own Beer Reporter Joe Sixpack and Tony Forder, editor of Ale Street News.

And it won't be all yakking! Each brewer will bring along a couple favorites for an afternoon of sampling.

Feature keg: EXPORTATION, the Philly Beer Week collaboration porter, brewed by local beer luminaries in 2010 at Sierra Nevada, then aged in Russian River's barrels for a year.

Can't wait for this one!

Bunch of Great Beers

Plan was to do high ABV night, but with only three guys at Beer Thursdays 16, plans changed.  Instead of a bunch of boozy brews, we opened a bunch of super flavorful ones.

Spring House Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout
Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter
Sweetwater Big Ol' Belgian Blue Balls
Flying Fish Exit 9
Russian River Beatification Batch 2
and a home brew Raison Quad from 2009 thanks to t0rin0

So we'll have to do the high ABV night some time in the future.  Let me know if anyone has a date in mind.

Iron Hill - 5/18/11

Iron hill is doing a Sour/Lambic event tomorrow night from 6-8.  Not too many details out there, but should be pretty nice if they have a bunch of the sours we haven't tried.

I'll be there at 6, and hope to see a few people hanging around.

Another Trade Completed

Just excited about this one.  I've been working on Partridge for a while, and to get an 07 Gratitude with it is a big win in my book.  Won't say what I had to give up, but I think it was well worth it.  Can't wait to try them,


in about 9 more years.....

Why am I Still Up?

Not sure where to start...

All that with the two growlers, plus Nugget Nectar and Dan's home brew Coffee Brown on tap...

Rare was the best, but the Dandelion Upland was prety awesome too..

More tomorrow.... Or today...

Goodnight.
