Gameday

The bar was pretty quiet on Saturday afternoon, so we were able to watch the VT-Marshall game on ESPNU without any objections. Good thing because we don't get the channel at home...

Beer: Avery Hog Heaven Barleywine
ABV: 9.20%
Home: Boulder, Colorado, USA

I heard that the Hog Heaven was a tough one, but I'm thinking maybe that had something to do with drinking it on a hot summer day. Definitely not ideal. The Hog Heaven pours a clear copper color with a head smelling strongly of hops. Dry and significantly bitter, but clean and crisp with just a hint of caramel. While it has more bitterness than I'd like, it's a good Fall beer overall.

Beer: Carlsberg
ABV: 5.00%
Home: Copenhagen, Denmark

Green-bottled beers have a very specific taste, and this beer is no exception. Must be all the crap adjuncts added to the beer to prevent skunking in these see-through bottles. If you must drink it, get it down while it's still ice cold. Forgettable.

In hindsight, ordering this beer was a bad decision. I was sufficiently drunk by 5pm and rather than going home to pass out on the couch, we hopped on a bus to Harvard Square and wandered around town. Nice little Saturday. Hey, at least we've almost finished the challenge! Down to 12!
