Doesn't seem that long ago that I was posting comments on the Raleigh World Beer Fest, but I guess 6 months goes quick. The Durham World Beer Fest we went to on Saturday was as good, if not better. You can see a program from the event here if you'd like to take a look.
I went with 4 friends and really had a great time. Same as last time, it was a great atmosphere, except this time we were in the outfield of a beautiful minor-league ballpark of the Durham Bulls. There were 4 tents per beer garden and three beer gardens. Overall there were about 130 breweries present; some serving only one of their beers on tap or bottle, others came with as many as seven of their brews. No way to count, but my guess is that there was somewhere between 300-400 varieties of beer to be sampled. I hit about 70.
Now don't think I drank 70 full beers... that's just silly. On average it was only about 1-4 oz per brew. I finished the afternoon feeling well and glad for the pretzel necklace Marc's kids had made for us.
While walking from tent to tent sampling different beers, I kept track and tried to rate all the beers I tasted. I kept it simple, by marking a 1-5 next to it's name on my program.

Good vs Evil... so to speak (034, 035 & 036)
A few weeks back, I tallied three more brews towards my targeted 200 at the Flying Saucer:
Two of which I'd had before, Weihenstephaner Original and the Hefeweizen, both are such clean beers. Not sure if it's because of the fact that Weihenstephaner brews all their beers by the German (or Bavarian) Purity Law of 1516 (or Reinheitsgebot in German) restricting the ingredients of the production of beer to water, barley & hops. Curious that a Hefeweizen beer (with the main ingredient of wheat) is still considered to be brewed by that law... hmmm. Technicality I guess. Anyway, both the Original and the Hefe were again amazing. Plus, as a bonus, I just love the art of properly pouring a pint into a tall wheat beer glass. There is no finer looking glass of beer than a cloudy Hefe in a tall-one.
The third beer of the night is named appropriately. Arrogant Bastard Ale by Stone Brewery. The first thing that is printed on the back of the bottle is "This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory - maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think muli-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this."
Arraogant they may be, but it is a fine beer.
Weihenstephaner Original
Container: Bottled
Style: Pale Lager
Brewer: Weihenstephan Brewery (Brauerei Weihenstephan)
City: Freising
Country: Germany
Description:
This mellow brew is the only lager currently available from Weihenstephaner, the oldest brewery in the world and a specialist in wheat ales. It has a nice light malt aroma and is very smooth. 5.1% abv
Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen
Container: Bottled
Style: Wheat (Weizen)
Brewer: Weihenstephan Brewery (Brauerei Weihenstephan)
City: Freising

Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale
Container: Bottled
Style: Strong Ale
Brewer: Stone Brewing Co.
City: San Marcos, CA
Country: United States
Description:
This dark ale is well hopped with a nice floral aroma and an intensely bitter palate. It is very full-bodied with complex malt and hop flavors. The finish lingers with noticeable bitterness. 7.2% abv

A fun quote on wise investments
Thanks for this, Chris:
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of AIG stock one year ago you would have $44.34 left.
With Wachovia, you would have had $54.74 left of the original $1,000.00.
With Lehman, you would have had $0.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago…drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.

Non-Tally News
I received my first issue of All About Beer Magazine a couple weeks back. It also came with a DVD called The American Brew which was a great documentary about the history of beer in America stretching from colonial days, through prohibition, the rise of micro-brews and up to today.
Less than 2 weeks until the Durham World Beer Festival. I am feeling more prepared and more educated to truly enjoy this year's Beer Fest. Not that I didn't enjoy the last one, I just think I will have a better idea of what to look for and discern a bit better for what I want to sample.
I went to Total Wine on Friday to get a bottle Merlot for Amy. I ended up getting two: a 2005 Martin Ray Merlot and a 2003 Edgewood Estate Merlot. No, I'm not turning this into a Wine Tally... just thought I'd let you know, I highly recommend the Edgewood Merlot though. I'll let you know about the Martin Ray when we cork it.
Anyway, while at the Total wine, I wanted to look for an IPA I hadn't tried and an employee recommended the Stone Ruination IPA that went on the shelf just an hour before, so I deceided to bring it home and give it a go.
A little history on IPA's: an IPA is an Indian Pale Ale. They are called Indian because they were the style of beers that were shipped across the Indian Ocean from the UK down around the southern tip of Africa and up through the Indian Ocean to British occupants in India in the 18th Century. By the time beer arrived, it would be bad or flat. In an effort to preserve the beers during a not only long trip, but a trip with extreme temperature fluctuation, the British brewers tried brewing their ales with hops. Hops is not only a fantastic flavor, but it acted as a natural preservative.
I tell you this because when you drink an IPA, you get a big nose full and mouth full of hops. That's why when you hear me (or more experienced and much smarter beer reviewers) say that a beer is 'hoppy' that means my tastebuds are getting kicked by enough hops in one bottle to survive a six-month voyage.
Anyway, with all that nonsense being said, Stone Ruination IPA is one killer India Pale Ale.
So, uh... yeah. It's a pretty good beer.

The Good, the Bad and the Hoppy (031, 032 & 033)
A couple weeks ago my brother, Dave, and I went to the Saucer for a couple brews before going to a concert (King's X at Volume 11 Tavern... GREAT SHOW by the way) in downtown Raleigh.
I had a couple good beers, but one was so awful, I couldn't finish it. The first beer I ordered was an Avery Karma. If you remember a few posts ago, one of the better beers I had was the Avery Maharaja, so I figured I couldn't go wrong, right? Wrong. There was so much fruit and flowery stuff going on in that beer, it should have it's 'beer' status revoked and slapped with a 'wine cooler' label. I got through half then told the bartender to dump it. Waste. Check out the description below... there are words in there that should not be in the description of a beer: 'mandarin orange', 'belgian biscuit', 'marshmallow', 'light bananna', 'light peach', 'floral flavor', 'coriander spices'... I've had bananna in beer before, and it was good. I've had Belgian beers that have had orange and it was good... BUT, all of these in one beer does not end well.
The second was more my speed: Rogue American Amber Ale. I've sampled Rogue beers before, but it was my first at the Saucer. Classic beer dinker's beer. Then Dave and I split an Otter Head Ale, which wasn't a bad English Ale at all, great taste and nice finish.
Rogue American Amber (BTL)
Container: Bottled
Style: Amber Ale
Brewer: Rogue Ales
City: Newport, OR
Country: United States
Description: This amber ale is slightly fruity with a nice hop character in the nose. It is a dark copper color with a nice rocky head. It finishes hoppy and slightly dry - go figure!
Avery Karma (BTL)
Container: Bottled
Style: Belgian Style Ale
Brewer: Avery Brewing Co.
City: Boulder,CO.
Country: United States
Description: Deep copper orange color with a very vivid appearance. Light mandarin orange aromas, with some belgian biscut notes, marshmallows and light bananas. Sweet on the lips, with some light peach and floral flavors. Some light coriander spices, with a smooth palate. Overall a good beer, very tasty, and light; perfect for a sunny spring day.
Otter Head Ale (BTL)
Container: Bottled
Style: English Ale
Brewer: Otter Brewery
City: Honiton, Devon
Country: United Kingdom
Description: Otter Head is a low-foaming English Strong Ale which pours a dark ruddy copperish brown color with a light creamy, off-white head. This brewer knew what he was up to - this beer is extremely well balanced. Overall taste is wonderful in this medium bodied, low to moderately carbonated, smooth drinking beer.

Thanks, Marc! (029 & 030)
Like I said in my last post, I am behind in my posts but this one will get me current and up to speed. A few weeks back, my friends Marc and Justin (who is now my boss as well) met at the Saucer for an after work brew. Marc treated which was unexpected and very appreciated! Thanks for the beers, brother!
The disadvantage to logging in my beers so long after the fact is that my already dull reviews are as a result even more so. I'll try to do a better job in future, in any case it's just a tally, right? Although I would like to leave some sort of impression on the kind of experience I'm having during my quest. I am glad to say that I am not yet bored or regretful I've started this blog. I'm having a good time with it and even if I'm the only one to look back at these posts, it's been a fun experience so far.
First, I must remark on one particular beer-related subject before I get into my latest two beers: this morning I got word via email that Durham's World Beer Fest will be October 5th at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Tickets go on sale mid-August and I am poised for pre-order.
Ever onward... the first brew of the night was a tasty Holy Mackerel Mack in Black. The pomegranate really gave it a pop at first, but by the end of the glass, I was glad it was done. I couldn't do a 6-pack of this one, but knocking out a tap was good. Bravo for my first Florida beer. Abv 8%.
The second and last of that night was a Scottish Beer, Belhaven Twisted Thistle. It was a delicious IPA that was refreshing and finished much better than the Mack did. It has an abv of 6.1%.
Holy Mackerel Mack in Black (BTL)
Container: Bottled
Style: Porter/Stout
Brewer: Gordash Brewing Co.
City: Melbourne, FL
Country: United States
Description: Dark chocolate barley gives this Imperial Stout a black color with a tan head. The use of pomegranate juice and Belgian yeast create a sweetness that is well balenced by a coffee-like bitterness. 8.0 ABV.
Belhaven Twisted Thistle
Container: Draught
Style: India Pale Ale
City: unassigned
Country: Scotland
Description: This Scottish ale is a version of and IPA with peat smoked malt. It has nice cascades in the aroma and upfront and then a smokiness on the palate. Great beer and an interesting profile.

Three White Ales (026, 027 & 028)
I'm a bit behind in logging in my beers. Last month I notched a few more and I'm just now getting to it... I didn't get a stout like I promised myself, but at least they were all German/Belgian-style classics. Here's the latest:
For my birthday freebie, I wanted a hefeweizen beer which is currently my favorite style. It's a German style wheat beer similar to a belgian white style. The one I picked out was the Hurricane Hefeweizen from Foothills Brewery in Winston-Salem, NC. It was outstanding. It was so smooth, I could drink hefeweizen all day. It's a 5.3% abv and looked a little darker than a Blue Moon. One of the best so far. I would definately get this one again.
The next one on tap was the Lost Coast Great White. This is a Belgian style that was very good but not as special as the Foothills brew. It was lighter and fruitier than the hefe and had an abv of 4.8%.
The last of the evening was the Blanche De Bruxelles, from the Lefebvre Brewery in Belgium. It is similar to a hefeweizen, but the style is called a Witbier. This one had an orange flavor to it and reminded me of a Shocktop. It has an abv of 4.5% and was an overall very good beer.
Here is the detailed F.S. data:
Foothills Hurricane HefeweizenContainer: Draught
Style: Wheat (Weizen)
Brewer: Foothills Brewing Co.
City: WinstonSalem
Country: United States
Description: This Hefe-Weizen pours an orangey-yellow with a tight white head. Aromas of an appropriate banana-clove combination follow thru to the taste with mild carbonation. Spices are noted in the lingering finish. 5% abv.
Lost Coast Great WhiteContainer: Draught
Style: Belgian Style Ale
Brewer: Lost Coast Brewing Co
City: Eureka, California
Country: United States
Description: An American version of the Belgian style. This unfiltered beer has a striking translucent, golden color with white clouds. Seemingly a contradiction in terms, it has a full body mouth-feel but is surprisingly light to drink. Topped with a hint of citrus, provided by Coriander and a secret blend of Humbolt herbs, this beer is slightly sweet and a delight to drink in any season.

Description: A very light white ale in the Belgium style with a hint of citrus and a complex, dry finish. Formally Manekin Pis, this beer offers all the attributes one would expect from a witbier. Cloudy due to residual yeast in the keg.
