Commodore Perry an IPA from Great Lakes Brewing Company

If you have been paying any attention, you would know by now that I make weekly visits, on Wednesday, to the beer store across the street from my place of employment. No, I don’t sauce on the job. The beer store gets their big weekly shipment in on Wednesday morning. I have got to know the head beer buyer for the store, he has a great deal of knowledge about beer, has tasted a ton of beers, an offers his experience when selecting.

So what did I buy this week? Well, let’s start off with the beers I purchased for an evening in which a work friend of my wife’s is coming over. free run 4.0 v2 femmes He supposedly enjoys IPAs. I don’t know if he enjoys “real” beer, but that’s what he will be getting when he comes over. I could I pass up a chance to buy some good IPAs without one word of gripe from my wife?! IPA list:

• Un-Earthly from Southern Tier Brewing Company
• Commodore Perry from Great Lakes Brewing Company
• Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing Company

With that out of the way, I figured I could pick up a beer or three for myself and disguise it within the confines of IPAs for her friend. Anything for a few good extra American craft beers! 🙂

• Collaboration not Litigation by Avery Brewing and Russian River
• Lips of Faith – La Folie from New Belgium Brewing

It will be a few weeks before I drink the IPAs but I plan on enjoying the other two beverages in the short term. Enjoy!
