Well, I was here a couple weeks ago for the Two Towns Tap Takeover, which was totally amazing. Sorry, distracted by a hot date (the notorious Honey Badger), so that will simply have to be lost to time.

I can say that they all rocked.

Today on tap:
Bushwhacker Red Headed Stranger
Apple cider plus ginger. I have a very narrow band of ginger tolerance, and this is a very mild concoction. Light on the carbination (seeming to be a trait of Bushwhacker house ciders), crisp, medium dry and mild flavor. The ginger really comes across as a tingle in the back of my throat than a distinct ginger flavor. Delicious.

Forest Edge Pear Apple – OR
Forest Edge is a winery. This comes in a wine bottle. It tastes like wine! I’m impressed. Dry, mildly fruity with a distinct mustiness I associate with wine. Amber said Savingon Blanc and I honestly don’t know enough about wine to disagree. Thumbs up, but distinctly wine-like.

Weston’s Stowford Press – England
English cider. I could tell with my eyes closed. Heavier and fruitier than Crispin, almost a chewy texture and a distinctly cider golden color. Simple, straight forward, English cider.
