I'm not so old!! But I drank one a couple of days ago! It's a lovely stout from the Weyerbacher Brewery in Easton, Pennsylvania. Brewed with seven malts and two hops, it is a nicely carbonated, chocolate-and-espresso on the palate, 8% ABV but easy to drink stout that isn't sold in Chicago! What else is going on? I taught a really nice Beer 101 class last Thursday at Perman Wines on Washington Street at Halsted. Craig Perman provided some excellent cheeses to pair with the beers and even opened up a Three Floyds 2008 DARK LORD to top off the class. Speaking of Dark Lord -- DARK LORD DAY IS THIS SATURDAY, the 25th! I hope to see all my buddies there! It's a busy weekend. This Thursday, I'm doing a little tasting at Puerto Rico Food and Liquor on Augusta, then Dark Lord Day on Saturday, then a semi-Grand tasting at the DiCarlo Armanetti store on Grand and Western on Sunday beginning at 6:30, then the GLUNZ BEER EXPO on Monday! If I'm still standing, I'm doing a tasting on TUESDAY the 28th at Green Grocer on Grand Ave. So, yeah, I'll get on here and tell everybody how things went. I will also be trying out UPLOADING VIDEO to this blog after Dark Lord Day, because Johnny and I will be working there all day and I'm gonna take some home movies. By the way -- GO CUBS!!
