on tap at the alibi room
so much deliciousness at the alibi room!
i must admit that i did not take actual notes
i was there on a date and just didn't think it would be appropriate to be too much of a beer geek
(don't want to be scaring off the cute girls!)
but, we did get samplers to share
and discuss and contrast
oh yeah, and enjoy thoroughly!
thursday's hoppy cask was the hoppelganger ipa
oh so hoppy!
oh so delicious!
paired very nicely with the mezze plate of hummus, feta and olives
we shared two "frat bats" of the czech pilsner (tastes just like a pilsner should taste!), an ipa (oh hoppy goodness!), the craig red (so malty), rogue's dry-hopped red (perfection in a glass), howe sound's bumbleberry (subtle enough berry), rogue's hazelnut brown nectar (nice subtle nuttiness), lost coast's limited edition chocolate stout (holy crap its like dessert in a glass!) and the 7 grain stout (like a shot of espresso) and didn't feel there was a bad pick in the lot of them!
we totally fell in love with rogue's st. rogue dry-hopped red ale and had to have a whole glass of that to end the evening (darned school nights - otherwise we mighta had two...)
might i suggest you get your (gl)ass over to the alibi while they still have the red ale in the rotation?
because it is not to be missed by any hops fan!
i mean i guess you could just buy it by the bottle... but its just so much more fun to get it from the keg!
