Last night we had dinner at the Torrington Cambridge House Brew Pub. The IPA was good with its usual hoppiness. Decided to try their Hefeweizen based on the unusual description. Believe it or not, it really did have hints of bubblegum and banana. It has to be the most complex beer I've had yet--I kept sipping it trying to figure out if it was psychosomatic and that I was just expecting those flavors but they really were there.

Sev: a real german style hefe (fermented w a real hefe yeast) will have those characteristics... banana, clove, bubblegum. Way more interesting than the bland american style we usually get!

That explains it. I've had Hefe beers before but clearly they weren't "real" ones. The description said clove, too, though I didn't notice it over the bubblegum and banana.

Found 3 new beers last night at Sunset and boy, were they delicious:
Green Flash West Coast IPA - EXCELLENT super hoppy beer.
Bear Republic Racer 5 - I have found this in cans recently. Not a huge fan but it was drinkable. Less hoppy than the Green Flash.
Flying Dog Raging Bitch - Very tasty.
The Green Flash was definitely my favorite of the three. I so wanted a Lagunitas IPA (which they had bottled) but I wouldn't have been functional after.

WTF! The beer part I could handle, but pouring out of a squirrel or rat pelt, let along drinking out of a bottle and seeing a squirrel or rat staring at me that might cause so issues, or atleats getting me thinking more about the dead animal staring at me than what my taste buds are experiencing!

I want a weasel beer titty.
So you don't think there is a market for squirrel beer cozies?

fake one's, no doubt about it! a redneck mega seller if ever there was one.
Real one's well, I'm trying not to think about what they might smell like, less than an inch from my nose, after that sucker has been repeatedly soaked with condensation from a bottle and then baked out in the sun on a hot 95 degree day

Had this at Cambridge House Brewpub last night:
Berkshire Brewing Company Shabadoo Black & Tan Ale
Felt kinda dirty drinking another company's beer but when I was drinking CBH's Brownoser last week, it was recommended I try this black & tan and it's pretty good. So I split the night between the 2 last night.

I was at the brewery this past weekend in Burlington. They had an Green Apple somthing or other Odd Notion pouring, is that in the mix pack?
I went with Single Chair for the growlers, they didn't last long.

There is a fall version of Odd Notion in the pack so perhaps... I have not been able to track down the fall Odd Notion by itself so I guess the 3 in the box will have to suffice. At least I know I already like Hex.
