sculpin

sculpin has earned a spot on this blog. when there is no pseudo, pliny, or blind pig... i'd hit a sculpin before i'd hit a racer 5.

pliny at home. nothing better.
pseudo at pizza port on sunday. religion.
arrogant bastard at 10:30 a.m. normally these are too malty for my pallet. however, this morning it was just perfect. smooth and refined!

the greatest day short of a hops fest!

pliny on the left, blind pig on the right.
another perspective.
pliny on the left , pseudo on the right.
blind pig, pliny, then pseudo. from left to right.
bind pig, pliny, then pseudo.
the consensus follows: all of these ales fucking shred. i am not sure i can use words to adequately describe the subtle nuances that distinguish one from the other. i walked out with 2 growlers of pseudo. sharp finishes. life is good.

i can't imagine a day better than this.

Pseudo, Pliny, and Blind Pig all tapped simultaneously!!!!
