Getting Jewbilant about He'Brew + Seattle V-Day Beer Dinners
Feb. 11th, 2008 | 01:04 pm
Still fighting the good fight on the residual effects of the cold. I thought about giving up beer for a couple days to let the immune system recharge, but I have to keep my drinking tolerance up for the coming apocalypse of the Bay Area Beerapalooza events I'm attending this weekend.
At least I can taste beer again. I'm still mostly sticking with IPAs until I'm sure I can handle subtlety. Last night, I split a bottle of the He'Brew Jewbilation 11. Jeezus, what a beer. 11 hops, 11 malts, 11% alcohol. So much going on flavor-wise and so potent yet so drinkable. I'm glad I split it. It's going to be interesting to see how the brewers at Shmaltz keep the Jewbilation drinkable as we move up to 12 and beyond. They've done a pretty great job with 10 and 11.
As some know, this week marks the dreaded annual V-Day. As my only acknowledgement of it, I've written up a post on Seattle Valentine's Day Beer Dinners for Metroblogging Seattle.
