Beerbeuring BASF 2018

[jrenaut]

Really cool artwork. I almost bought a print. The beer was good, too. I had a pale and an IPA. The kids killed it in the dark on the ride home. We had to stop at one point in the nearly pitch dark so I could switch lights when my headlight went out. Good times.

And, barring something unexpected, that’s it for my Beerneuring of BAFS 2018. The wife biked with me to 26 of those, plus one more that she did without me. The kids were along on 20. The younger one biked herself to 10, the older one 9.

This year I have managed to keep most of my beerneuring to breweries I have not visited before, and I decided to keep to the theme and finish the competition by finally visiting the Newington twins, also a chance to ride the Beulah bike lanes and in general explore part of FFX I have never ridden in.

Beerneuring #7 Fair Winds

Went for a flight in this pleasant taproom.

Started with Quarterdeck Series #4, IPA a fruity IPA with flavors of lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, mango – not too bitter, is this New England style?

Then Ghosts of the Mariner an barrel aged imperial stout. Very smooth, coffee, cola, creamy mouthfeel, intermitten hop bite, this was my favorite of the day.

All Hands, a barley wine, rich dark fruit taste, resinous hops, the alcohol quite noticeable.

QuarterDeck Series #5, a Vienna Lager. Lightly sweet biscuity, very smooth mouthfeel (is this a house effect?) but not the best Vienna Lager I recall having.

Then on down the road to Beerneuring #8 Forge

At this point I thought discretion indicated getting just a taster, not another flight, so I tried

Dark Temptress a “belgian porter”. Definitely funky taste, over the roast malts, not bad.
