Yokohama beer fest was nothing great with no real suprise new beers - same old same old.<br />Not as busy as last year. Brewmaster Kabos and honey, Tazawako Kolsh, Yaho National Trust porter on tap, Yaho barley wine (lovely), 15th anniversary wood aged DIPA from Andy, Atsugi simcoe blody simcoe possibly the best of show.<br />North Island IPA, the Noboribetsu tomato ale and a new tiny company&#39;s strange pale ale the worst. Had to toss them. Was tossed out myself by security at closing. That was my last memory, until waking up sprawled on the futon at 3am. No idea where I went after the beer fest or how I got home. My right knee, right hip and right elbow are a bit banged up. Bike seems ok. Have a hazy memory of getting lost on the train home... <br />Looking forward to Tuesday, slamming down the IPAs.Chuwyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04006837084544398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-30442813185904077842009-09-21T03:56:08.790+09:002009-09-21T03:56:08.790+09:00I just saw an ad for Bud Golden Wheat. It might be the best wheat beer around (doubtful), but it&#39;s interesting that craft breweries, and a wider selection of imports, have forced domestics to shake things up a bit. I would be interested in seeing a time-line of Bud&#39;s history and the gaps between releases of new beers. Of course, it could be inbev&#39;s influence as well.El Ethanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03702981433688306762noreply@blogger.com
