FSSB #4 Beerneuring

[Rockford10]

Seriously, I’m taking this seriously.

Gordon Biersch Marzen. The “a” has two dots over it. The beer was really light and good. I would get it again.

With Colin and Edwin in Marshall VA after riding the MLK Resplendent Rappahannock Gran Fondo 100 km, which made the beer taste really good!

Boomer, thanks for sharing the picture, but I am not sure that it qualifies as an entry for the side bet unless there is now a brewery in Marshall.

Seems my Beerneuring contributions are doomed to be forever sideways. Anyhoo, I had the imperial coffee stout at Cap City today, which they have dubbed “fuel.” If you are thinking this is a coffee-flavored beer, you are mistaken. The coffee blends perfectly with the already complex and roasty flavor of the imperial stout, making for a very smooth ale—much smoother than I expected it would be. Still a very dark and thick brew, which may not be for everyone; it’s right up my alley, though, and it was great near the end of a wet, cold, windy ride. The name “fuel,” however, may be a misnomer: I don’t know if the coffee used in the brewing process was caffeinated, but if so, it wasn’t enough to overcome the 8.8% alcohol, and my ride home was quite a grind up out of Shirlington to Falls Church. I thought my legs were going to fall off. I guess that’s #BAFS2015 for you…

Looks like SOMEBODY is riding away with this competition. And who is in second right now? Is there a family award?

Beernuering with VA Blonde (easy ale), Gilligan’s Island Ginger (pale ale), Busted Pipe Black IPA (cascadian-style dark ale) and Lucky Flannagain (Irish red ale) at Tin Cannon Brewery, Gainesville VA, with the intrepid Steve O.

I had a flight. My fav was the porter, which had a nice, strong sweetness–kind of a dessert-y beer. The pizza we ate was also delicious.

I hit up Capital City Brewing Company in Shirlington on Saturday for their “SurviveAle Saison.” It’s a lighter style beer, brewed in connection with Port City and some other local breweries. It’s their “Breast Cancer Awareness beer” with funds going toward breast cancer research. I liked it just fine, but think it’s a little inappropriate to link drinking beer and cancer mitigation. A better pairing for the beer might be heart health. Just sayin’.

Thoroughbred Red from Hops Restaurant – Team 10 group lunch. The beer is decent. Company is good.

Test flight at Gordon Biersch in Washington DC, and I liked them all.

Quite citrusy with a slight bitterness. I liked it and would order again.

A Saison is not a Pilsner! 😡
