A query has been put forth to the Cap’n.
‘What beer have I tasted recently that is worthy of their own day in the media sun?’
The answer without a doubt is St. Bernardus Abt 12 Special Edition. It was brewed for their 60th Anniversary.
According to the packaging: it is brewed with black, amber, munich and pale ale malts. It’s colouring is picturesque. The taste is subtle and very drinkable. The hops are not overpowering and adhere to ones tongue.
Cap’n had expected this to be great, based on all the prior research that was done. It truly lived up to all expectations!
Now moving onto another subject, that of release parties.
Cap’n and First Maat attended the tapping of Red Velvet brewed by the Eagle Rock Brewery. It is there version of a rye. Citrus, perhaps a double IPA? Very drinkable and coated the tongue nicely.
Red Velvet cupcakes along with the crepe mobile was on hand for the occassion.
Just a note:
When Cap’n and First Maat eventually host a release party, there will be much more fanfare. Picture a countdown, canon firing and streamers!!! Much like a ship leaving dry dock on its maiden voyage!!
As always thanks for taking the time to read this blog.
Also thanks so much for all the birthday greetings on this; the anniversary of Cap’ns birth.
Until next time
Yo Ho Ho
