Tonight I decided it was a Penne ala Vodka kinda night. I was going to order from a local Italian Pizzeria but they recently upped their prices. 27 bucks for delivered pasta? No thanks! Luckily I married an ex-pizza man so that wasn't a problem. I went to the local market and picked up some heavy cream, some fancy pasta and some sauce. He's good but so is Preggo, homemade sauce is for suckers, says this Irish Chef...boyardee.
Per usual, I had some trouble finding what I needed in one quick walk through, so I went up and down and down and up and under and over the aisles at least one time each. During my travels I walked by the beer cubby. I tried to ignore all of the beers I loved and beers I had not yet tried but I was weak, plus it's Friday.
Mystery aside, I picked up a sixer of Southern Tier IPA from Lakewood, NY...and boy are my legs tired!
Joke didn't work? I'll keep writing it until you laugh.
I hadn't ever tried this and was excited for a delicious NY brew! The package says it is brewed with 4 varieties of hops and 4 types of malts. I don't know a lot about brewing but that, right there, told me they care. I am now drinking this beer and it does not disappoint.
The beer has a strong taste. It has that gritty taste that I love in my IPAs. It's not subtle but it's not the most "whaoo there horsey" that I have ever had either. I would definitely drink it again. In fact, my hubby just ventured to the fridge to make that happen! Reminds me of a slightly softer version of Dogfish 60 minutes. When I say soft, I don't mean to allude that it's not strong either. Trust me, I tried to put the beer down just now and the bottle forced its way into my mouth.
On that note, I'm off to go play Buzzerwizzer and kick some gritty butt!
