Lows and Highs

So I totally forgot about that whole Session thing this month. Shit man, I ain't paid to do this. Expect disappointments. I'll try harder, seriously.

On to better things. Yesterday was the monthly BA Tasting, most often held at the Draught House. You should come next month. A sample of what we sampled:

Thirsty Thursday #9

Punkin Ale
by Dogfish Head Brewerey - Milton, DE
Style: Pumpkin Ale
ABV: 7%

Damn, this a delicious beer. People either love or hate this beer. If you enjoy a nice slice of pumpkin pie from time to time, this is yr beer. The spices you pick up in this one are perfect.

Dogfish has a pretty large distribution area. Chances are, this brew is close to you (sweet rhyme). Go get you one, or five. And remember to save a couple for Thanksgiving.
