Libations for Memorial Day Weekend
Ah, Memorial Day…the greatest weekend in this racing fan’s year. This year the Holy Trifecta of Monaco, Indy 500, and the Charlotte 600 has been changed a bit; Monaco has been replaced by the Turkish Grand Prix. A minor technicality that I’ll let slip…
But that’s not the point here, folks. The point is this: what do you drink on this glorious occasion? What do you have with your slow-smoked barbecue (baby-back) ribs? Well, this year we’ve got a full stock of beers to try:
- Harpoon Glacier Harvest Wet Hop Ale (2009)
- Harpoon Helles Blond Bock
- Harpoon Island Creek Oyster Stout
- Val-Dieu Blond
- Trade Route Brewing Co. Ginger Pale Ale
- Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
- Piraat Ale
- Brooklyn Sorachi Ace
- Smuttynose Maibock
- Long Trail Coffee Stout
- Southern Tier Mocha
- Horseheads Brewing Chocolate Porter
My wife and I have a nice relaxing weekend of good food and libations planned. This will be a weekend for ourselves and we hope to thoroughly enjoy it!
And, as a side note: I plan on transferring my Belgian Dubbel to secondary this weekend, as well.

Highly recommend the Southern Tier Mocha! Is that this years or last years?
I will be working through a growler of Roosterfish Brewing Co. Hop Warrior while also tasting the following:
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace (damned expensive at Beers of the World, btw)
Great Lakes Brewing Lake Erie Monster
Great Divide Collete Farmhouse Ale
…other random bits and pieces that I find. It’s difficult to find beer in my house, you know.
I think the Mocha is this year’s. We’ve never had it before.
And yeah, the Sorachi Ace is pretty expensive. I hope it’s worth it, though!
