I’ve been very unfair to England. I have an obsession with beer and soda and unfortunately have been consistently disappointed with all the offerings from across the Atlantic. Guiness is fine, I guess, and has a beautiful pour, but if that’s all a country can deliver it is a sad state of affairs indeed.
The Wychwood Hobgoblin, which I first tried on draft at The Blind Pig in Champaign, has quickly become one of my favorite beers. It pours a dark caramel color with a nice head that dissipates quickly. It is a fairly typical dark ale with a nice sweetness in the middle and the end. It is a very drinkable beer best enjoyed on a cool evening around a fire.

I took those! I like your blog baby.
It’s spelled G-u-i-n-n-e-s-s. Guinness; I don’t know why, but it drives me crazy when somebody misses the double “n” or “s.”
It also drives me crazy when I run across a drink blog and I don’t have any beer in the house to enjoy while I explore the site!
I’m going to add your URL to my Blogroll.
Thanks for pointing that out Bob. I don’t usually have it in the fridge. Guess I took it for granted. It won’t happen again.
