Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary--Fritz and Ken's Ale

So last night I went with BeerMechanic and Hopslam to Tyler's in Durham for a taste of the new release from Sierra Nevada. This Imperial Stout weighed in at 9.20% ABV, and was very tasty! The brew had a very aggessive coffee flavor, so this would not be for those who do not enjoy a strong mocha flavor. A very dark beer, and was completely drinkable and very enjoyable. Try it if you get a chance!

Triangle Brewing Company "Friday da Firkenteenth

Friday the Thirteenth has provided Triangle Brewing Company an opportunity to showcase a couple of unique casks at Tyler's Durham. From the ever present Rufus:

Triangle Brewing Company will be tapping 2 Firkins on Friday the 13 at Tyler's Taproom in Durham. The event kicks off at 5:00 pm with a cask of our 100th batch IPA! This IPA measures in at 6.7 abv. and has been dry hopped four different times with four different hops. This will be the only cask of the IPA, the rest will be released in 22 oz. bottles. The second cask will be our "Best of Both Worlds" Stout, that has been conditioned with coffee, chocolate, and raspberries. This will be a great event to end a long week. Hope to see you there. Cheers.

Looks like a perfect excuse to leave work at 4:30 on Friday! But who am I kidding, I'm never at work at 4:30 on Friday anyway...
