Share-A-Beer Potluck Round #3... ding ding ding - Fight!

Share-A-Beer Potluck #3 (taking place at Tacoma's very own Amocat Cafe) was a huge success on Saturday, February 12th. We had a decent turn out and more beer than we could possibly drink of course! As my 2 lovely minions (M1=MGD & M1.5=Basil) were having way too much fun and took nary a picture of the event, here are some photos of past Amocat Beer Potlucks to give you an idea of the lavish spread that occurs when beer bloggers, beer drinkers, beer brewers & beer lovers combine their forces for good:

Beers of mouth-holed noteworthiness that I tried...

• Big Al's Nut Warmer/Winter Warmer blend (growler we got from tour last wknd, total group favorite with it's subtle PB flavors. Went great with doughnuts and chocolate flavored potato chips)
• Slip Point Spicy Fish Wife (had a lingering spicy taste of infused jalapeno flavor, fun to taste but a pint would be overkill. We had jalapeno chips to pair it with which brought out the flavors nicely)
• Goose Island Pere Jacques 
• Epic Ales The Fuj (an ale made with black & white peppercorns)
• Ninkasi ReNewAle Irish Red Ale (Basil would like it noted that there is a four leaf clover on the label NOT a shamrock)
• Russian River Pliny the Elder (because what beer party is complete without someone bustin' out a Pliny)
• Dogfish Head Festina Peche (cue a 30min discussion about the 120min IPA incident with Metropolitan Market in Tacoma)
• Three Skulls Buccaneer Bacon Lager
• Hite! (honorable mention since it wasn't opened but we've been saying HITE!! for weeks just because it's fun)
• Midnight Sun Panty Peeler
• Great Divide Grand Cru
• Boulevard Harvest Dance Wheat Wine

Among the random collective of people representin' at Amocat, we were blessed with the presence of the Wingman Brewers crew. Sad for ya if you haven't heard about Tacoma's up and coming brewery of awesomeness. Check out the recent write up on Wingman by the Tacoma News Tribune.Word is that they are hoping to be 'officially' open within the next couple weeks. I'm crossing my fingers and everything else that it's sooner than later. Besides making beer, they are a really fun group to hang out with.

Cheers to a 'special' ending to a special evening,

the pissed liBEERian
