Slowly... But Surely.

Hey, just because I've been dreading the sight of a computer, don't think I haven't stopped on my quest on being immortalized of the Flying Saucer wall! A boost in my scholastic activities have kept me off la computadora due to the fact that I spend too much time on here doing things I hate, so why would I want to stare at it any longer than I have to? I've overcome my pure distain for this brightly lit screen because I realize documenting my alcoholic exploits are far too important to me.

We all know my feeling on Foothills Seeing Double IPA. It hit me like a ton of drunken bricks that decided to drive a moped of hops into my face. I tried to expel this experience from my brain so that I would keep an open mind for this new brew. Don't get me wrong, I love the Seeing Double IPA! I just didn't want to go in to this experience with any expectations.



So, onto my run-in with the Foothills People's Porter. A dark and rich brown, this beer smells deeeelightful. I've always been a fan of the darker beers, so when you throw a little dark chocolate and coffee flavors into the mix, I'm a happy girl. With a very roasted taste, it's a tad thick (as it should be) and finishes a lot smoother than I had expected. A slight bite of hops, but nothing too crazy. I would gladly order this beer again. I suppose this was Foothills' apology to me for my embarrassing facial contortions with their previous beer.





I'll always be a supporter of Big Boss Brewing. Located right here in Raleigh, NC - how could I not support my local breweries? Since I started off with an dark NC beer, I kept the theme going with Bad Penny. I love brown ales and I LOVED this one. As most brown ales, this one poured a coppery type, well, brown. Smells a little nutty, a little sweet and the taste follows suit. Mixed in with a little caramel and malty taste, this beer just might be my new favorite by Big Boss. Plus, hellooooo chocolate mama on the label! Kudos, my local friends!


Yes, I know I said I would reach for the stars and put away the three upon each visit, but for some odd reason I didn't this time. I don't even remember why. Clearly, that indicates that I had been drinking prior and lost all recollection of my math skills. So, my apologies and I swear that this will NEVER happen again. Excuse me while I hang my head in shame and crack open one now to make up for it.
