Brick Store “11 Days of Kegs”

Posted by Big Mark under Beer Photos, General Ramblings

At the Brick Store on a darn hot day-luckily we have 12% beers to cool us off. Alison, Rooney, and I (Mark) are here for the kick-off of the Brick’s 11th anniversary. They’re showcasing interesting limited edition kegs each day.

Today’s are JW Lee’s Lagavulin Wooden Pin Cask (2001), a cask-aged. Ale with some wooden goodness added, and Regenboog t’Smisje Guido, a cask-aged barleywine. Or not-when it gets cask aged and over 12%, you’re getting a lot of wooden overtones with the sweetness and these 2 are hard to tell apart…or they gave us 2 of the same (more likely).
(Update: yes, they were both the barleywine-sweet and woody)

Alison is enjoying a great organic cider-JK Scrumpy’s. Tons of apple goodness which helps when hell is on earth and my brow is dripping on my keyboard.

   Looks like there was a hearing on it on 6/20, but the results haven’t been posted-the item number is V-07-303. Issues around parking spaces and business vs. residential zoning.

   Retirement party? Hell yeah!

   I’ll be there. I’m guessing somewhere in the 5-7pm neighborhood?
