The VE club was the setting for tonight’s event.
Verienigung Erzgebirge is a private German Club
located in Warminster, PA – very close to our house.

We volunteered to chauffeur friend Jim
as he is unable to drive.

Tonight was STONE BREWING beer tasting.
Hosted by Hatboro Beverage.

Lee Marren rep from Stone Brewing.

Stone IPA.

Jim’s messed up foot.
He has a torn Achilles —
ALSO a blot clot which he is taking blood thinners for —
which caused him an allergic reaction & ended him
up in the hospital (for EIGHT DAYS!)
WHERE he caught Bronchitis….

Arrogant Bastard – 2nd tasting.
“This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it.
It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication
to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.”
|
|
|
|
#3. Stone Smoked Porter
“So you think you don’t like dark beer?
Prepare to believe. This is no ordinary porter.
And if you are already among the enlightened
who appreciate a fine ebony-hued ale,
we think you will find Stone Smoked Porter
to be a poignant addition to your repertoire.”

tasting #4. Imperial Russian Stout
“Intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants,
coffee, roastiness and alcohol) and heavy on the palate, this brew goes where few can – and fewer dare even try.”
|
|
|
|
Our tasting table tonight.
It was a great turn out.

|
|
|
last tasting – Old Guardian
“We’re glad to tell you without the slightest modicum of modesty: it’s delicious. And if you’re of the type that’s patient enough to squirrel bottles away, know that this behemoth is poised to continue evolving with age.”

“People who drink light ‘beer’
don’t like the taste of beer;
they just like to pee a lot.“
***************************************
The guy from Budweiser says “I’d like a Bud Light”
The guy from Coors says “I’d like a Coors Light”.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says
“Give me a Coke.”
They ask: “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?”
“Well, if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither will I.”
