alezapoppin'
Friday night I was supposed to hit up this thing with Brandon and a couple other ex-Athenians that I don't know very well. I had to bow out due to my wife's unexpected illness, which prevented her from going on her scheduled work-trip to Georgia. No problems, though, I just kicked back, watched some movies with the missus, played some MVP Baseball 2005, and got drunk on my own terms.
I've been working my way through the Ommegang family of ales, and decided to take a crack at Hennepin this weekend. It was nice, slighter lighter than Ommegang, but not as Ommegang Witte. I'd rank it alongside Rare Vos, ahead of the Witte, but below Ommegang and my personal favorite, Three Philosophers.
I'll start drinking real Belgian ale once they cheapen up the price a bit.
If you're interested in learning more about these crazy mixed-up beers that'll get you, like, totally fucked up, go read Beer Advocate.
