Hill Country Beer Club

Spring Cleaning
March 19, 2010

Dennis and Wes provided all selections to clean out their abundant supply. The meeting went swimmingly, and the attic is still proving to be a comfortable location to conduct our tastings. Then again, it's still technically winter. Dennis and Wes really pulled through this month, offering the club and this month's attendees some great selections. KJ also came through with some "supplemental" brews, allowing the club to officially sample 14 beers this month. In addition to the published menu, other selections included Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot and Twisted Pine North Star Imperial Porter. And as an added bonus, the Deschutes Mirror Pond turned out to be a bomber of Deschutes Mirror Mirror barley wine. What luck!
