Consumed in the midst of three cocktails, my memory of this beer was a bit hazy. Then two days later it brought me back to Deep Ellum for Cambridge Brewing Company's Mind Left Body. The quest for 100 began at Deep Ellum, with brunch and Brassiere de Blaugies Biere Darbyste, a Belgian pale ale brewed with figs. When the last post ended with 95 beers down, I decided that hitting beer number 100 was going to be a Big F-ing Deal (kind of like health care reform). I guess that's just the way this post was going to play out.Īverage grade of the six new beers = D+. I hoped that Butternuts Heinnieweisse Weissebier would be better. I decided to write my first formal beer review while drinking this one: In a much anticipated trip to the liquor store, we picked a Butternuts variety pack, mostly because the cans looked like fun. Later my dad also bought me some delicious Ipswich Ale (probably out of pity after watching me struggle to drink the MGD 64).Īfter a week and half of my beer spending freeze, feeling pretty proud of myself and dreading coming home to yet another can of PBR, I decided I deserved something better. Sam Smith's was delicious, but already on the list.
It would have made a decent nut brown ale, but it was a lousy porter. The maple porter was smooth and not too sweet. Definitely the best canned stout I've ever had (not that there's much competition).Īs if he sensed my distress, my dad came to my rescue with two big bottles of Woodstock Inn Brewery Kanc County Maple Porter and Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. It was not a low calorie evening.īack home, finishing off the Butternuts mixed pack was Butternuts Moo Thunder Stout.
