Arizona, Day 2 (7/22/11) - Part Two

After the excellent lunch and good beer at Raven Cafe, we walked over one block to Prescott Brewing Company for dessert and more beer. Dessert was excellent! Chris, Karen and Emmett split a chocolate brownie/ice cream/whip cream tower and Meagan and Marlowe split a peach bread pudding.

Beerwise, only six Prescott beers were available. Marlowe had a sampler of all six (Ponderosa IPA, Liquid Amber, Willow Wheat, Prescott Pale Ale, Bumbleberry [honey and blackberry beer], and Achocolypse [just what it sounds like]). Three were unremarkable, but the pale was very refreshing; the Bumbleberry tasted more of honey than berries, but was an interesting beer and I'd drink it again; and the Achocolypse was very dark and chocolaty and so good that we brought a growler.

Karen and Chris each had pints of their preferred beers, while Meagan had a sampler of Bumbleberry and Achocolypse.

Overall, we all agreed that Achocolypse was the winner, though perhaps not the greatest of session beers since the chocolate may become overwhelming after a couple pints.


We then returned to Karen, Chris & Emmett's to play Fluxx: Monty Python version and drink more Deschutes beer, including the not-to-be-missed Hop Henge Experimental IPA, and a few cans of Guinness. A lovely evening was had by all.
