April Field Trip

April's field trip was to the Lost Dog Cafe in McLean. I enjoyed myself greatly, having a couple tasty brews whose names I can't currently remember (#fail). Despite my failing memory, I do remember that there was a vast selection of bottles with about 15 taps. Most selections were quite unique and I do not remember seeing Big Bud. The venue was inviting. The bartender was quite knowledgeable, although we did have to show him how to pour the perfect pint. He also had an odd cadence to his speech. Adds to the experience I say. I would definitely like to return. It's only a few minutes from the office so it wouldn't be a bad casual trip after a workday. Until the next meeting...
Cheers!

2011 Beer Madness

The winner has been selected for the 2011 Beer Madness and it is Flying Fish Brewing Co.'s Exit 4 American Trippel. It edged out the much more well known Lagunitas Maximus from Lagunitas Brewing Co. Both may be good options for a future meeting.
