Eventually, maybe even today, we (Nate and Mike) will get around to putting together our about page where you, dear friend, will understand more about this site and its authors.
As we were brainstorming for this site, it occurred to us that enjoying the fine taste of a quality brew can be more rewarding when performed in the company of a friend. So every Friday, from this day forward, we invite you to enjoy a preselected beer with us. The following day we hope to gather together around our illuminated screens and discuss the beer, the flavor, the mood…the experience.
Despite the fact that today is Sunday, and not Friday, we are going to kick things off in honor of finally getting this site off the ground. Today Mike and I will be enjoying a fine Dogfish Head brew, Raison D’Etre. Raison D’Etre, last released in March 2007 is LIMITED in availability, so drink up! In fact, try cellaring a bottle or two.
Raison D’Etre (lit. “reason for being”…how aprpriate) is a deep, mahogany ale brewed with beet sugar, green raisins, and Belgian-style yeast. It should be enjoyed at a 45-50 degree temperature. This brew is 8% abv (alcohol by volume).
We hope that you don’t live in a dry county and are able to rush out and purchase Raison D’Etre at your favorite supplier. Stop back and let us know what your thoughts were, and as always, nice drinking with you.
Well….I won’t be able to pick one of these up in time to weigh in….but I will keep my eyes peeled for one in the future, Dogfish hasn’t disappointed me yet!
FYI: I’m currently sipping on a Brooklyn Brewery Monster Ale (Barleywine). I would encourage you both to give this brew (also born in 2007) a shot. It packs a serious flavor and 10.1% ABV punch. My guess is that won’t faze you guys a bit though.
Looking forward to this!

Thanks for swinging by Rob!
It’s been a while since I’ve had anything from Brooklyn Brewery. I’ll definitely put it up soon for a Friday drink.

Sounds like a great beer. Two problems with that for me, though. I do live in a dry township, and where I live, people are still excited about the new great beer called Michelob Ultra. Yeah, we’re a little behind the times. I’m gonna have to make a trip to the city for that one. Have a drink for me, would you?

James,
I can do that for you friend. How about you come visit Jason, swing by and see me, and buy a few bottles that we’ll be tasting for the next month or so?
