Catching Up, Part 1

Marlowe & Meagan had three major trips to THE MONK (or the Center of the Universe as we think of it, or the Thirsty Monk as it's officially known). Our work / school schedules have curtailed our usual outings, so visits to THE MONK are a good way to build in a lot of beer tasting into a single event.

2 months ago we went to Monk South for trivia (and won) and sampled 10 new beers. Highlight by far is the Southern Tier Creme Brule. We've since purchased several bottles of the delicious stuff. Other great ones included Brooklyn Concoction, Urthel Saisonniere, and the Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head co-brew Life & Limb.

We also had some great beers that we've had before, but had to try on draft:

Duck Rabbit Schwartzbier and Petrus Aged Pale being two highlights!

A week later we went to THE MONK with Pam & Frederick and sampled another set of new beers. Highly recommended is Unibroue La Terrible and Xbeeriment Black Force One.

Also had Liefman Oud Bruin, which we've had before but which remains one of our favorites.
