A partial list of beers I've had since my last review

Well, I'm still slacking on my posts, but that doesn't mean I'm not sampling beer. Here's a list of the beers I've had since I last "reviewed". Also, I hope to post a summary of the Bells Brewery (really just the cafe & general store, as they don't do brewery tours) and an outing at BJ's in Greenwood. Unfortunately I'll be out of town for the beer gathering at Scotty's this weekend, and I wasn't able to make it to the HBG anniversary party at Brugge (regrettably - it looked like a blast).

Here's the rough list, with ratings, and any brief notes I might have taken:

Bell’s – Special Double Cream Stout 3

Founder’s – Dry Hopped Pale Ale 3

Stone – IPA 3

Boulder Beer – Buffalo Gold Golden Ale 3 or 2
Very good for an ale – a little buttery

Boulder Beer – Single Track Copper Ale 3

Mishawaka Brewing Company – Hop Head Ale 4
Musty, but it improved as I drank it

Goose Island – Pere Jacques 2

Smuttynose Brewing – Robust Porter 3

Dark Horse Brewing Co. – Too Cream Stout 2

Lexington Brewing Company - Kentucky Ale 3

Most, if not all of these beers were in the beer fridge at the old house and had to be quickly consumed, as we didn't have room for them along with everything else in our "regular" fridge when we moved into the apartment. I still have a bounty of beer (much to the dismay of the movers who had to move everything up three flights of stairs) in our closet that I will drink at a slower pace, hopefully allowing for better reviews. We've still got the two produce drawers full of beer that I need to drink before I can re-stock with any new beers, so any new beer reviews might have to wait until I've worked through those. Ahh, such a rough life.

We'll be out of town for a little bit, but after Labor Day I expect to have more regular posts, along with a weekly (or more frequent) beer news roundup.
