Finally sampling my Cambridge Brewing Companys Sgt. Pepper I've been excited about. It's a saison brewed with peppercorns. Blazingly neat?! I've definitely been on a farmhouse kick recently and I'm turbo digging Hennepin and Ovila Saison (made by Sierra Nevada). So how does the P-man measure up?!
Well, I love it! It's got that nice dry/tart saison aftertaste but is punctuated with a little lingering peppercorn earthiness and heat. It's a bit light than most of the same style at 6% abv but that's great on a super hawt bootyful day like today. This is one I will stock up on next I go to Boston, I believe. WHY NOT TRY IT KEVIN?!?!
In other olds, I've made a decision. Homebrewing will commence ONCE AGAIN. Soon? This time, after much thought, I've decided I'm going to break away from the world of APA and IPA and into the world of Deutsch-style sessions beers. WHY YOU ASK?! Because I LOVE the IPAs I get at the store and in bars, why mess with a good thing? Also, they're expensive to make. I figure a good light German ale will be the right beer #2 when I'm in the mood. So, German-style ales here I come!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOO! Do you want me to get more bottles while I'm in Boston for Rhapsody?! I'm hoping to be home mid-June sometime, so I could drop them off!
Also: HOMEBREWING!!!! One of my coworkers is moving to Ithaca to be with his woman in August, and he may give me whatever duplicates he won't need anymore! Be careful with those real light beers; mistakes are tougher to conceal. But you won't mess up WOOO!!
