The first post on the new website. It might as well be about something close to my heart,er liver. Strong Beer Month has started in San Francisco. Two breweries,21st Amendment and Magnolia,brewed up 6 beers (each) with alcohol content ranging from 8.7% to 11.2%. Everything from double black IPA to barleywines. It makes a liver cringe thinking about all those beers.
At 21st Amendment (descriptions liberally copied from their beer menu):
- Imperial Jack (8.7%) –An Imperial ESB brewed by Richard of Elizabeth Street Brewery.
- Beer School (9.1%) –Inspired by an accidental strong batch of South Park Blonde and another batch that was accidently dy hopped. Recipe and Brew by John Foster of BeerSchool.com
- Two Lane Blacktop (9.4%) –(not on tap yet as of this post) A double black IPA.
- Blind Lust (9.5%) –Cuvee blend of a strong Belgian beer and barrel-aged Blind Lust from 2007 with some Lindeman’s Framboise. I had this today –it’s delicious without any bitterness and really drinkable.
- Hop Crisis! (10.8%) –A high octane,hoppy,dank,delicious beer.
- Lower de Boom (11.2%) –A traditional English style barley wine with some hops to add a little bite.
At Magnolia:
- Let It Rauch (8.8%)
- Four Winds Quadrupel (9.1%)
- Smokestack Lightning Imperial Stout (10.0%)
- Delilah Jones Rye (10.2%)
- Promised Land Imperial IPA (10.4%)
- Old Thunderpussy Barleywine (10.8%)
