Benz Beer Tasting October 26th

Post by carrisr »

From the Benz email list:

New Belgium and Potosi

October 26th

5:30-7:00

Due to ever expanding lineups from both of these microbreweries we
thought we could take some time to try the new offerings as well as
revisit some old favorites. We will be showcasing the explore series
from New Belgium as well as a couple of the lips of faith. From Potosi
we will be doing the seasonal release of Gandy Dancer Porter as well as
the complete lineup from this fantastic mid-west brewery.

They also had 6 beers from Empyrean, too. Their Octoberfest was very good and I'm a big fan of their vanilla stout.

Believe it or not, the Potosi new one - Gandy Dancer Porter was respectable. A nice beer.

The winner of the night for me was the new one from NB - Snow Day, a Black IPA. Super hoppy nose. Not on the shelves yet, but coming soon. Look for it!

Had fun pairing the Chimay cheeses, along with a couple other yummy ones, with the NB Trippel, Abbey, Belgo, and Clutch.

Overall, a good tasting.
