So graduate school has been keeping me extremely busy but I wanted to check in with the blog with notable beers I've tried this summer:
- Murphy's Irish Stout - Dry Irish Stout, velvety mouth feel
- Victory Rauchbier - I was pumped when I found this for growlers at Charleston Beer Exchange. Good, smoky flavor and medium body as I remembered. I love this style and I wish it was more common.
Coast HopArt - Ha
d this both at Poe's Tavern and from the CHS Beer Exchange. I think this has usurped Terrapin Hopsecutioner and Dogfish Head 60min as my favorite IPA. Freaking fantastic, hoppy beer. This is the best beer brewed in South Carolina, in my opinion. If you are in Charleston, South Carolina, get this beer. Unfortunately, distribution is pretty limited outside of the Lowcountry. I am sure this IPA will show up the blog again in the future.
- Palmetto Lager, Amber Ale, and Pale Ale - All good offerings from the older brewery in Charleston. The lager reminded me of European-style lagers, pretty good for lager. The pale ale was decent and balanced but not outstanding.
So the bad news is that I am now dieting, which means that I am cutting back on the beer. Rest assured that when I let myself have a beer I will make it worth it.
