Saturday Beer Delivery
August 18, 2008 8:29 am Beer Love
This package was originally supposed to arrive on Friday, but unfortunately the FedEx guy showed up before my lunch time and I wasn’t able to be home to accepted the package. So my poor beer had to sit in a hot truck all day on Friday and then in a hot warehouse overnight. Sure one more day of heat probably doesn’t mean much after sitting in a truck coming all the way from California, but it still hurts a bit. As for the beer, we drank the Pliny and the Blind Pig the night they arrived. Both lived up to their reputation and were fantastic beers. What did you enjoy this weekend?

Except for the Lost Abbey (which one is that?), that looks a lot like my recent South Bay purchase (plus a We’re Only In It For the Money).

We went to Iron Barley’s TomatoFest (Stef entered some cupcakes again this year, not surprising) and I sampled three homebrews - a tomato beer, chili, and a base beer. I don’t remember many of the details, but my favorite was the chili beer. Great stuff!

Developing a deep seething hatred towards all of those enjoying the Pliny.

i was thinking about this, how bad could the heat have been? the path that beer took was probably a cool path i would think and thank god our weather was nice. both bottles were bottled in under a month. i cant imagine this fresh from the brewery.
