God Bless Fred.

Had a friend in from Chicago the past two nights and took him out for Thai the first night, which we washed down with a couple of Bridgeport IPAs, which is very high IBUs, and a top three fave of mine.

Last night we started out at an oyster bar for a quick appetizer and brew before heading out for dinner. I ordered Deschute's Mirror Pond Ale and my companion opted for a Widmer Hefeweissen (with a the obligatory slice of lemon). Either was perfect for the food.

Basically, whatever was in front us in terms of brew options was the best beer either of us had ever had. ^
