March 5 - March 10

Not a big update for the past few days, but I didn't want to go too far and forget the two I did have while watching Kentucky come from 18 down to defeat the Florida Gators in Gainesville in the final SEC game for both before the conference tournament.

108.  Two Hearted Ale (American IPA) - Bell's Brewing - Kalamazoo, MI - 7.0% ABV

I love everything Bell's, and I ordinarily love this one, but for some reason I wasn't feeling it.  That is going to affect the rankings, as this is the first time I have had this beer this year.



109.  Great White - Lost Coast Brewing - Eureka, CA - 4.8% ABV

 Deliciously refreshing, and I stuck with it even as the Gators took a big lead on the Wildcats, and since the Cats came back, the last one tasted even sweeter.

STORMHOUSE BREWERY - BREWERY NUMBER 2

Image
 The second brewery that I visited this year is: STORMHOUSE BREWING 1201 US 1, #15 North Palm Beach, FL 33408 561/323-4172 Stormhouse Brewing - Brewery Restaurant in North Palm Beach, FL January 4, 2023 For my review, and for rankings, the scale is:  (1) beer quality (taste) (1-20); (2) beer quantity (number available) (1-10); (3) beer varietals (differing types) (1-10); (4) atmosphere (look, feel and vibe) (1-20); (5) service (self-explanatory - hopefully) (1-20); and  (6) miscellaneous (personal preference) (1-20).  This will give me a 100 point scale to reference, and I will keep a running ranking of each of the breweries throughout the year. Another brewery that is fairly close to home, I frequent this place fairly often.  Stormhouse is a brewpub, with a full kitchen, so you can come hungry and still be well pleased at its elevated bar food menu.  A large open, semi-circular shape, with glass all along the front between a patio section and the inside....

This is the closest brewery to my house, so I have have frequented it farily often since it opened just prior to the Covid restrictions being implemented in March 2020, and yes, it has still survived.  You enter through a normal, everyday front door, but the entire front of the restaurant is a glass wind...

First Beers of the New Year - 2022!!!

Image
So, welcome back to my yearly beer blog, where I list, and rate, my beer consumption for the year.  Last year went haywire with regard to my updating the blog, so let's see how long we can last in 2022.  Not much beer yesterday, but I did get started with a couple! 1.  Sunrise City - IPA - Sailfish Brewing - Ft. Pierce, FL - 7.0% ABV - 77 IBUs This beer hits you with an immediate bitterness, not overwhelming, but it does cover whatever other flavors may be present.  I will have this again, mainly because a couple of locations do not offer better (unless their menus change), but I will not go looking for it.  C- 2.  Lil Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale - Lagunitas Brewing - Petaluma, CA - 7.5%ABV - 64.2 IBUs This is a wheated ale, that is simply delicious.  AND, so much fun to say.  I will have this often.  A Ales 1.  Lil Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale - Lagunitas Brewing - Petaluma, CA Pale Ales IPAs 1.  Sunrise City IPA - Sailfish Brewing - Ft. Pierce, FL...
