Ninkasi Brewing Company Total Domination IPA

It's a hot one out there - time for a brewski.  I've popped open a cold one this afternoon, courtesy of the fine folks over at the Ninkasi Brewing Company in Eugene, Oregon.  The second of their beers that I've tried, this IPA is wonderfully hopped and has a tasty malt background   I have to admit that I like their Renewale ESB a bit more, but this brewery is hitting all the right notes for me and Ill be picking up their Triceratops Double IPA and Oatis Oatmeal Stout in the future.

Some Propoganda from the Brewery ------->  Multiple hops collide

A review from the Smokey Pint --------> Tremendously balanced IPA

2011 Evening Land Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

A beautiful evening out tonight and I have a wonderful Evening Land Vineyards 2011 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir open this evening.  Another wine I picked up on my recent trip up to the Great Pacific Northwest. This one is from the winery in Salem, Oregon.  The angle of the photo above concentrates the color on this one, but the wine is a very light shade of red and has the body of a typical Pinot.  Light, but full of fruit, not the type that is typical of Californian Pinots (Cherry, Strawberry), but the darker red fruits (Plums, Blackberries).  I've linked to a great review of the 2010 version below and I have to agree with everything she says about the wine - a wonderful accompaniment for a mellow Evening.

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA

Greetings from the left coast on this sunny and warm Sunday afternoon.  I've retreated to the Pinhead studios for some pinball and a wonderful IPA.  This Ruthless Rye IPA has the prerequisite hoppiness but also has the killer spiciness that the rye grain brings to beers.  This is Sierra Nevada's seasonal beer for the winter / spring so you might still be able to find it on your beer shoppe shelves.  If you do, don't pass it up - great stuff from the brewery that has defined "Craft Beer" since 1979.

Hype from the brewery ----->  Rugged and resilient

A review from the Big Lads ----- >  crisp hoppy bite

Cheers,
Jerry

PS - check out the "mural" that I found at my local Beer Shoppe.  yes - entirely made of different crown caps from various breweries.  Quite a work of "art".

Ninkasi Renewale 2013 Extra Special Bitter

Well - it's gonna hit 90 degrees out here today - what happened to Spring?  Dang global warming is ruining everything....time for a brew on a hot summer day.  Grabbed a six pack of the Ninkasi Renewale ESB on my trip up to the Pacific Northwest a few weeks ago and I've cracked open the last of the lot this afternoon.  The beer pours a nice copper color with a small head.  Grassy hops - kinda smells like a nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  Nice balance on this one, as is usual with the style.  The brewery is located in Eugene, Oregon and is named for Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of Brewing.  I've noticed that some of the Brewery's offerings are making it down to us here in Northern California - I need to try some more....
