Happy New Year to you all and I hope everyone had a safe and beer filled holiday season. It's cold up here in Vermont so I have been enjoying some of my home brewed Vanilla Coffee Porters, nicknamed Hazards Porter, to warm my belly and mind tonight. I have just returned from a fun filled week in Pittsburgh. I was able to try some new beers and even visit The Church Brew Works. If you haven't been there, and live within the area, I would highly recommend it. Check out my instagram tab to see some of the photos of from inside. This place is massive! Pictures can't display it's beauty. No wonder this place won the 2012 GABF Brew Pub of the year.
I sampled 8 beers (their flight) while at the Brew Works. 4 flagship beers and 4 seasonal beers.
- #1: Celestial Gold (German Pilsner, 4.1%)
- #2: Pipe Organ Pale Ale (English Pale Ale, 4.3%)
- #3: Pious Monk Dunkel (Dunkel Munich Lager, 4.3%)
- #4: Blast Furnace Stout (Oatmeal Stout, 4.8%)
- #5: Thunderhop IPA (American IPA, 8%)
- #6: Black & Brett (Stout, 7.6%)
- #7: Sleigh Wrecker (Winter Warmer, 7%)
- #8: Rye IPA (Rye IPA, ??)
