The wife and I shared a Moorhouse Black Cat Ale yesterday after a beautiful day of spring skiing...very tasty grog.

I too found some Stone Ruination on tap, and it was worth the wait.

Also had the Sierra Nevada Union Jack IPA, and did not appreciate it's lightness at all.

the stone is amazing.

amazing SN is the Torpedo. a true session brew.

Nothing like a good bitter Friesland Pils to hit the spot.

I am drinking the last bottle of the Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer) right now. I have finally gotten used to the super bitter flavor, but I won't be buying it again.

If I'm not mistaken, Tim, "ESB" stands for "Extra Special Bitter." The Red Hook ESB we get up here states that, maybe the Sierra is different.

I'm not a fan of real bitter beers anymore, India Pales and the like. The aftertaste is hard to handle.

Cheers!

Sierra actually does call its ESB Early Spring Beer. and really pumps up the hops in it to IPA range. Most Bitters and ESB are in the low 20's to mid 30's IBU whereas IPAs are in the mid 40's on up.

Another unusally warm day and I even broke a sweat picking up empty green barrels and cleaning up after the St.Pat's nightmare,.....
so I got myself a 6 pack of Grolsch.

BTW, St. Pat's is about the stupidest holiday ever.
In Ireland the pubs are closed because it is a religious holiday.
