Brother Thelonious Belgian Style Abbey Ale: North Coast Brewing Company

My plans for Friday night fell through so I went to the saucer since I was nearby to have a beer. My beer count as of Saturday was 7 and I thought it would be good to get it to an even number so I could finish my 2nd plate in two trips.

I initially ordered an Old Rasputin (also from North Coast) but they were out of stock on this so I went to my backup. I noticed the Brother Thelonious on the brewtron and without really looking at it i picked it out think hey, I’m about to be selling a ton of jazz at my new job so let me celebrate with a Jazz Icon(friday was my last day at my old job).

First thing that got me when they brought the bottle out was wow, it was a huge 750ml bottle.. so much for having one drink I think we had 4-5 servings out of that beast.

I gotta say this beer was rather impressive. a powerful 9% alcohol, slightly sweet caramelish taste. It’s one of those beers that make you feel ’strong like bull’.

Clean Living

Some of the conversation around these parts lately has been about healthier living. The more granola people we interact with talk about organic living and healthier choices when eating etc. Which I totally agree with we should be more aware of what we put into our bodies and as evidence by my rapid weight loss earlier this year by making some subtle lifestyle choices. But lately we’ve been hearing about the colon cleanse and all the propaganda that surrounds it. Most sites on the web that discuss it have graphic images and hyped up stories about it’s benefits etc.

All i gotta say is.. a nice pint of Young’s Oatmeal Stout gets things moving.

Beer, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of our greatest strength, and our greatest weakness. The cause and answer to all of life’s problems!
