Beer Club

I've always wanted to join a beer club. But the appeal of Old Chicago is lost on me. Not to mention the fact i would gain 50 lbs a week stuffing my face full of their deep dish deliciousness. Luckily, our new local brewery decided to start their own. With a beer list to die for, and no pizza to tempt me, it was only a matter of time before i filled out my punch card. 150 beers. A t-shirt at 75. Your name and a quote on the wall upon completion. I really just want the free t-shirt.

Part of this whole idea is to try beers i would never ordinarily try in hopes of discovering a diamond in the rough. And the opposite is true too, beers that set off the gag reflex will be noted and barred from future consumption. It's also a great excuse to play Euchre with friends in a beer garden for 3 hours. And if one of these friends happens to work in the all natural bakery next door, make sure they bring a loaf of sourdough along with their A-game.

Now to the grading of the beers tried the past two Mondays. I'll go with the simple "Would i drink this beer again?" - YES/NO, with the occasional HELL YES or HELL NO. The HELL YESs should be consumed by you, the reader, and the next available opportunity. The HELL NOs, avoided at all costs. So:

Schlafly Pilsner - YES
Rogue Dead Guy Ale - YES
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid - NO
Bells Oberon - YES
Lagunitas Undercover - NO
Blind Pig Pale Ale - YES
