Decisions, decisions...
Note to self: Never again buy a case of just 1 beer. 24 bottles of 1 beer is too many to have laying around. If you're going to have company over then that's ok, but for everyday drinking a case will only distract you from your goal.
The problem here is that I have some new bottles to drink but then I have this slew of other bottles taking up space in my fridge. They need to go at some point but I feel overly pressured to drink them just to make space.
Anyways, I got another shipment from the Beer of the Month Club and had two of those beers over the weekend.
134) Lev Lion Pale Double Bock - Despite the name this is actually a Bohemian pilsener. Very crisp with a frothy head but not as complex as Pilsener Urquell.
135) Ridgeway Bitter - This was also a refreshing brew but again nothing that deep. Had that hoppy bitterness that I like but I would have like to see a stronger malt character to balance that out.
135 down leaving me 230 to go.
Tonights drinking will take place at the Collins Bar in Hell's Kitchen. It will be my first visit there and I am pretty excited. They seem to update their list daily and they have some items I have never seen before, including a limited production brew from Rogue. Check back tomorrow with my full review.
