Brewery kind of day

Post by LouieMacGoo »

Today I had a meeting in Kalamazoo, MI that finished before noon and I had nothing else that I really needed to do so I headed over to Bell's Ecentric Café to have a pint of the newly released Hop Slam IPA. I know some of you don't care for it but this went down so smooth. I don't know about the hype but I enjoyed it.

Leaving Kazoo I drove 2 hours back home and stopped by the new Liberty Street Brewing Co. Production facility where some of my homebrewc club peeps were celebrating MLK (Mash, Lauder, Krausen) day by brewing. I wish I could have joined them but I was glad I could visit. Image

It's always fun to visit a brewery. It's odd, though; I've toured a few breweries, but never the one right around the corner from me.

Nice! Picked up a couple of sixers on Hopslam Day (aka Friday). My party store always saves me 1-2 of just about any special release knowing if I turn it down they can easily sell it. Delicious! Drank a few during the Packers game. Not so delicious. But at 10% abv, at least I didnt care as much.
