Ok fellow beer luvva's, last post from Seattle. I'm about to hit the road for one last night in PDX (beer mecca) before returning to Wife and dog and j-o-b in sunny & f'in hot PHX, AZ.
Got SQHUB outta da house for lunch @ his local watering hole - Wedgwood Ale House - where they have a full bar and 18 brews on tap. Of those 18, 3 currently are Stouts - an excellent percentage if you ask me. Although they had Rogue's Shakespear Stout on Nitro, and what turns out is a not very regular The Abyss Russian Imperial Stout from Deschutes, I went w/Dick's Imperial Stout to end my Seattle trip w/some local flava.
Since I seamed torn while making my beverage order, the bartender was gracious enough to bring a small taster of the Abyss for comparison.....In the end, Dick's was the better choice for lunch. It was sweeter, and less malty than The Abyss which went well w/my Buffalo Burger and fries (w/chup & tartar of course). The Abyss was Sooooper Malty, and would have been a pleasant quaff later in the day - not before my upcoming 2.5-5hr drive from Seattle to PDX (depending on traffic).
Dick's Brewing is well known for it's Dick Danger Ale - a popular choice @ the Oregon Brewer's Festival most every summer (last weekend in July, and yes Free Bird and I will be making the pilgrimage from PHX again this summer - see future postings on details!).
Well, SQHUB and I need to finish burning some discs so I can hit the road. Hope to quaff a couple pints w/the fam in PDX tonight. Will post later....
Til then - it's after five somewhere. Prost!
