Beer a-gogo

Monday evening after a nice dinner with Mom and Dad we made our way to JoeVee and Shelly and their cats Barley and Hops. You gotta love people who name their cats Barley and Hops!



Shelly was sick but she was an Eager Beaver and stayed with us. We cracked several bottles of beers open this evening and rated them. Joe's beerfridge is just awesome and it is unbelievable that he is always so generous to hold great beers till we come and share them with us.
The best beer we had this evening was Pizza Port Mo Betta Bretta, at least in my opinion.
The next morning we took off for a little road trip. We went to New York State, Poughkeepsie where we bought a lot of beer at Halftime. This Shop carries a fantastic selection of beers. The owner came by and chatted a long time with Joe and a little bit with us and at the end we all got some great presents - beers and glasses.
After this stop we drove to New Paltz were we went to a brewpub named Gilded Otter. It was nice there and we drunk a sampler and ate lunch.
In the evening we went to New York City where we met Emily at DavidCopperfield's Cask Festival. The Highlight-Beer there was Southampton Imerperial Russian Stout.
Coming home from NYC we drunk another beer and as you might assume, after that we were out-beered. Enough beer!
Hope to see you soon, Joe and Shell!
