Two beers cooling in my fridge

I went to a new wine and beer store today and found (2) beers that I have never seen before and piqued my beer interest. One is a Belgian called Sloeber. I have never heard of the brewery or their beer so this is uncharted territory. Second is another offering from Hitachino in Japan. XH matured in sake casks. Should be interesting.

What I am drinking right now

The label is a little too Easter trippy but this is a nice light Belgian ale with a taste of lavender. This is my favorite from The Bruery. It is a notch above the usual Belgian. This and Urthel’s Hop-It have been the best of the year for me so far.

This just in….

Thanks to my Oregon beer hook-up, I have a bottle of Rogue’s latest special offering.  Oregon Sesquicentennial.  Say that five times fast.  I will review as soon as I have the heart to open the bottle.
