Brew Day Bottle Share!

It's true- yesterday, The OG and Six Row finally came together to brew our Fraise Cassee! I'll have a recap of our brew day up later in the week (with photos from both myself and our resident real photographer, Kara!), but I did want to type out a quick recap of the second most important part of the day- bottle share!
The ladies all brought some fabulous beers. We started our Sunday off with New Holland's Blue Sunday, a delicious sour ale. This tart beer was delicious!

Next, we tried The Saint, a yummy cider made with Trappist Yeast! I'm not much of a cider fan, but I loved the balance of tart apples and sweet maple syrup in this cider. I plan to grab a couple of bottles in preparation for some late-spring Sunday brunch. 

I brought a bottle of Blacklist's Rhubarb Wit, which I was fortunate enough to snag while in Duluth for Valentine's Day. This tart, balanced beer was incredibly interesting! I would love to try it again and pair it with a dinner of grilled chicken and veggies (with rhubarb pie for dessert, of course).

We also sampled Blushing Monk, the first non-stout Founders beer to grace my palate. Just beautiful! I would love to try it again paired with some cheesecake. 

Immediately after Blushing Monk, we all sipped on a 2014 bottle of Big Lushious, to taste the opposite end of the raspberry beer spectrum. 

Other sampled beers included Dual Artisanship (fitting for a collab brew day!), Cigar City's Invasion, and the Honey Pear Ale from local(ish) favorites Scratch.

Later this week I'll have a technical brew day post up, as well as a giveaway post!
