My friend Stu returned from California with a nice haul of “West Coast” beers not available in S. Florida. His philosophy is that good beer is meant to be shared, so he invited a small handful of friends to his backyard for a great beer tasting on Saturday.
Above is what I called the Beer “Waiting Room”. This is a photo before more beer was added as guests arrived.
I have listed the beers in the Order we drank them. Our method of picking our next beer was very random. We would just go to the beer “Waiting Room” stick in our hand and pull out a beer, most of the time not knowing what we were going to pull out. It actually worked out quite well this way, as you will see the styles did vary and kept palate fatigue at bay. We were able to taste 21 different beers style from the 26 beers we had.
Stu and the cheese spread as he finished pouring our 1st brew.
Fort Collins Maibock Zum Leben!
Beer #3: Maibock Zum Leben!
After 16 beers it looks like we have more beer waiting than when we started!!!!
Looks like Stu is enjoying the tasting so far.
Crème Brûleé Stout (Only because I do not like butterscotch) Everyone else loved it.
Here are some of the beers we did not get around to tasting: Which is good news as Stu says he will have another BIG tasting soon to finish these and many more!!!!!!!!!
