Tonight was the first of (hopefully many annual) Beermas gatherings. Us Aleanders (a branch of the
Brewnosers) gathered tonight at the workplace of one of our members, the tripling-in-size
Gahan Brewery. Akin to
Festivus, there were a couple of Beermas miracles: the fact that there was snow (in this time of global warming), and that we got to hold our meeting at a brewery. (Unfortunately?) There were no feats of strength or airing of grievances. A few of the best brews (in my opinion) were Bear Republic's
Red Rocket Ale, the
Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel, Stone's
Cali-Belgique Belgian IPA, St. Ambroise's
RIS, and some really different winter ales. There were also some tasty home brews from Hogie and Wortly, as well as newcomer Devin (from the far away land of Stratford).
