The Beer, the Blond, the Best


"Oh, Matilda! You're not what you seem" she screamed!

I guess Blond's really are more fun!

Sometimes you just come away shaking your head. What happened? Is it true? Does it really taste like that? Could I have actually made something that is as strong and drinkable as say... Duvel?

Yes I did!

The bottle says Matilda. Belgian Style Ale. Made by Goose Island. We've had it before. It's delicious... and professional.

Inside, Wolfbrew's Blond Hopshell. The consensus: "I really thought we were drinking Matilda." Why thank you, Leeza. Not because I made a replica of a Goose Island beer but because the quality of my product was finally up to par with the big guys! There is no indicia of homebrewness in this fantastic Belgian blond ipa. In fact, there's no overwhelming hop bitterness either. Maybe I just made a quality Beligan style strong blond ale. Ahhh but then the onslaught of American hops tingle the tip of your tongue and trickle their way down your awaiting throat.

"It's too bad you don't have more of this," cries Leeza.
"But we have Delirium." I'm quick to retort.
"Yes, but I want this one!"

And she shall have it. Along with anyone else willing to sip the suds of Wolfbrew's finest beverage. Little C's Lavender may be nice and tasty but The Blond Hopshell is nothing less than...

Strong, sweet, bitter and blond.

Cleverly conniving alcohol sinews its self
To Candy sugary sweetness,
Patiently pursued by hallowed Amarillo hops.
The blond bomb's buxom end
Leaves no man sans a friend.

Is this poem going to accompany the label of this fine brew? You bet your ass it will. All i need is some investors, some commercial property and some large scale brewing equipment. Good thing I have smart friends who will become rich lawyers... right guys??? ;)

Quick update:

Frankenstupp is bottled. Mets stink. Jet's need to score some touchdowns. Black IPA is on the way. Enjoy.
