beernesday

because i wasn't sure about it i had more of the central city oaked esb cask last night this time i did my sampling at the cascade room i like it, i really do it's hoppy and complex i still have no idea what that flavour is though, but my guess is it is from the oak hell, maybe it's oak like i've never oaked before and while i was there, i couldn't resist the welsh rarebit gawd, i love welsh rarebit!!

managed to make it out to the railway club for the cask again last night central city's oaked esb which for the most part i really enjoyed but there was an odd flavour that came out as it warmed up not unpleasant per se, but definitely odd anyway, the camra cask meet ups seem to be going well some of the usual suspects were there and a couple of unusual suspects joined in too i hope it continues, it is nice to socialize with other beer geeks at a relaxed drop in event and the railway club has a new menu not a whole lot of veggie options (and a couple of spelling errors/typos - yes, i am THAT guy) but people were saying they liked what they tried last night (which were the thai coconut rice bowl and the flank "stake" tacos)  

yay - i'm headed to cask night at the railway tonight! it was supposed to be a collaboration cask - fun - but that cask blew up... originally planned cask was "a collaboration between R&B Brewing and Peckinpah BBQ: a cask of R&B Brewing's cream ale cask-conditioned with toasted oak chips and smoked hops from Peckinpah." after the blow-up cask shall be " R&B Brewing 's ESB. The planned collaboration cask of R&B cream with smoked hops from Peckinpaw blew up. Tapped at 5." so many interesting sounding casks seem to blow up... guess it just keeps me from getting blasé about all the casks about town!  (thanks camra for the head's up about the blow up!)
