Beer tasting with dinner

My friend GodFather came in town and knowing that he is a beer geek, I stocked the fridge!

So we started the festivities with Ska Brown Ale which was perfect with the roasted cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapenos off the grill. Delicious! (next was Sam Adams brown which was... less impressive...)

With our pork rouldades, I paired Reaper Ale's Deathly Pale Ale. WOW! That was a huge beer.

After dinner, we sampled the novelty beer Cave Creek Chili Beer. It was what you expect- a tasty beer that was perfect to share. It is very spicy and other than that... uh... yeah. I have 5 more that I will finish in the next 6 months or so. OR! Take to the in-laws for Thanksgiving.. yeah. that's a better plan ;)

For dessert, the coups de gras... an Oskar Blues TenFidy float with a really good vanilla bean ice cream. Freaking phenomenal! That beer is so huge, mixing it with the ice cream just smoothed everything out! It still had that bitter ZIP at the end before the ice cream really melted, but once there was meltification it TOTALLY rawked. If you can, PLEASE try this! Yes, Travis, I'll have TenFidy and ice cream next time you visit us down here in Tucson ;)

After that, what can you do? Well I shared some Full Sail Slipknot. I think that was a bad move. I mean seriously, at this point it was pretty much over. I'm sure it was a good beer, but I wasted it on a drunken fool (me) Then Sam Adams Dunkelweizen. Repeat earlier disclaimer of wasting beer.

What a great night! We're doing another tasting tonight!
