Wow! It has been over a week since I blogged! No excuses this time. There's been plenty of exciting things going on in my beery life. For anyone curious, the brunch went very nicely. I made tasty beer-inis with cherry and/or pear lambic and prosecco that was on sale at Whole Foods, Auntie Suzie's egg bake did not disappoint, everyone had a lovely time, at least as far as I could tell. Last Wednesday, I had a Sally-cleaned-the-beer-out-from-under-her-car-seats beer tasting at Lush on Roscoe, and last Thursday I co-hosted a lovely beer dinner at Flo restaurant on Chicago Ave. And FRIDAY night -- I had the distinct pleasure of meeting author Lucy Saunders and Julie Johnson, editor-in-chief of All About Beer magazine. Delilah's hosted a book release party for BEER HUNTER, WHISKEY CHASER, a compilation of essays about the late great Michael Jackson. I also, FINALLY, was able to taste Pop Skull. Darn good.
Then on Saturday, we attended a lovely birthday party. We were able to sample this year's RABID RABBIT -- the spring saison beer from Three Floyds. You know, the palate is a strange organ. Just about a year ago, I probably wouldn't really have cared for this beer -- but now, oh, now I LOVE IT!! It is spicy and effervescent with chamomile and hints of coriander and caraway seed. It came out last week, you should go buy a bottle or two before it's gone. Also, don't forget about DARK LORD DAY, coming up on April 25th. Even if you didn't get a golden ticket online to buy the beer, you can still come to the brewery, listen to music, drink vanilla-bean aged Dark Lord and TONS of other fantastic guest beers from all over the country! Johnny and I will be there, we'll be helping sell beer.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31st, I will be at the Whiskey Fest Pre-game kick-off party at Twisted Spoke. We'll be tapping the keg of Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout, we'll have a sixtel of Pop Skull, and many other beers you can't taste anywhere else in the city.
