Apparently the day has come when people are just tooooooo busy to come have fun and drink some beer. We were a force of 3 (Morgan Alexander, TPG3 & myself) during the most latest & greatest beer share, with a few other peeps stopping in here and there to share a laugh and a beer.
The night began in an off way right out of the gate as our usual Vietnamese sandwich provider wasn’t in attendance. He got us all addicted to those Pho King sammies, making them a potluck staple, only to leave us high and dry by being too busy to attend. Effing LaCroix and his Effing Life. So I took matters into my own hands and hooked up our Sammy needs. Little did I know the reasoning behind him always taking on this task…
When waiting for your food they give you a little glass of water and baby cream puff to snack on. Pfffffft, I’m sooooo taking over the sandwich job for our potlucks. Delicious as always! Love those little guys. Sorry LaCroix, you lose.
Anyways... the beer! After realizing our numbers were going to be on the small side we busted open some bottles, started mixing & concocting creations. Here were some of our preferred blends:
- Wandering Angus ‘Bloom’ Cider & 2 Beers Panorama Wheat Ale (canned)
- Old Viscosity & Tieton Apricot Cider
- Left Hand Milk Stout & Iron Horse Mocha Death (hoooooly yum, tasted like creamy iced coffee!)
- Ninkasi ‘Oatis’ Oatmeal Stout & Spire Pear Cider
After we did some of the bolder blends with the new ciders that came into Amocat, we started throwing all kinds of crazy stuff together. Think soda fountain Graveyard blending. Too much to keep track of but the 3 of us had a great time playing master mixologists.
We also tried some of Morgan’s Pliny the Angry project ale, #4 I believe. Or it could have been #5. Regardless, I really liked the new version. It’s bitter and hoppy in the middle with a mellow finish. No IPA face causing back end. Pliny 2x as Angry, keep on it with the good beers dude!
We all had a muy bueno and chillaxin’ evening. I never busted open the Total Eclipse of the Hop or Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary bottles that I brought and went home with 2 mini growlers of Schooner Exact’s Seamstress Union. Bring 2 bottles in, go home with 4, guess that works! We were also so on the ball that we already sorted out the date of the next Beer Potluck.
Bring it on September 2nd! I expect a decent turn out for MGD's return.
Mix, drink, share, repeat
