Back in the Saddle
Mar. 31st, 2008 | 05:52 pm
Several people have advised me that I need to write every day. I now realize how right they are. Once you take some time off, it gets more and more difficult to get back on track. Thanks to this week's release of Bottleworks IX: Deviation, I'm back on the horse and I have to keep riding.
In addition to the appearance of Deviation, April Fool's Day also has a very dangerous event happening that involves the tapping of small kegs of Dogfish Head's Chateau Jiahu and 120 Minute IPA at Über Tavern. From what I understand, the Chateau Jiahu will be tapped at 4pm and the 120 Minute will come on the heels of the last pour of Jiahu or at 6pm (whichever comes first). Now here's the dangerous part: the 120 will be poured in ten ounce portions for $8. Ten ounces of a 20% beer? Jeezus, I really don't need that much! They should have a disclaimer: Instant Diabetic Coma May Occur. I'm hoping I can convince someone to split a pour with me or convince the Über folks to pour me 5 ounces (or less).
I've got a lot of stuff on tap both locally and otherwise, including a visit from my friends Chris and Merideth on their Year in Beer adventure and an East Coast trip at the end of April. I hope to drink as many East Coast beers as humanly possible in a week. I'll have a preview of the trip and, if I can really break tradition, maybe I'll post every day since I'll have internet access at my sister's place in DC. We'll see how that goes.
