Monday night beer club expanded into the culinary side of life this week. My fellow beer lovers and I found ourselves in the middle of a free Indian pot luck. Every thing from curried lamb to roasted peppers. It would appear that Ash, our monday night bartender, is just as proficient in the kitchen as he is standing behind 3 feet of mahogany. Win Win.Well... not for everybody as it turns out. One of the regulars, having finished off a sandwich from Pekara's Bistro only moments before entering, decided it would be a good idea to consume 5 beers in 30 minutes and hit up the buffet. YOU CAN'T PASS UP FREE FOOD, RIGHT? A poor decision to say the least, he was soon found puking in the beer garden and later in the front of the bar into the street, all the while convulsing as if possessed. The scene was out of The Exorcist. That is, if Regan MacNeil weighed 250lbs and never shaved.
We turned our attention back to cards and beer. And this week... the "Hell's" arrived. I've always enjoyed Lindeman's Lambic, so that was not surprise. It's one of the finest beers on the planet. But, the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat was an amazing surprise. I reallllly don't like wheat beers, but the citric sweetness of this beauty has me hooked for life. I dare say it may be on par in my eyes to the peach infused Magic Hat #9. Unfortunately, Krusovice is worse than warm, stale Milwaukee's Best. Avoid this horrid eastern European potion like the plague.
Lindeman's Raspberry Lambic - HELL YES
De Dolle Extra Export Stout - YES
