Lew,
My father and I were sitting in Campo's on Market enjoying a bite to eat before the Real Ale Fest when my dad said " now thats the spirit" and pointed to a guy carrying a case of beer over his shoulder. I said that looks like Lew Bryson and he is scheduled to host an event at Fork but I don't ever remember seing Reading on the beer list. I read this and just had to shake my head and smile.

Like I said in the other thread, possibly the best bang-for-the-buck not just of the Beer Week, but in a long, long time.

We loved the Dock Street Rye IPA as pickled ginger gari-like palate cleanser between courses. The floral nose was great, the just enough hoppy bite to wake one's mouth up.

My buddy Jay commented that 60 minute IPA used to be hoppy, now doesn't seem so crazy hoppy bust still good and great with a Sriracha type sauce.

The Troegs Nut Brown and the Weyerbacher Merry Minks both cut right through and soy/salty flavors, bringing a refreshing sweetness to the proceedings.

This was a home run, thanks Lew and Ellen.
