I became a beer blogger naturally due to years I have spent brewing for myself, working with breweries on their technology and marketing, and the decades spent imbibing. Hence, the self-decreed title of the #Blockchain #Beerologist and I am cranking up my Beerology game this year.

This week, we hold on and remember #beersaturday started on Steem!

Pint O' the Week

I have sampled some good shorties of the week but it has been the season of the The Pint O' the Week as of late. The PotW is generally a social beer shared in a pub or brewery, sharing a little lifestyle so you know I am a legit Beerologist. Pleasure and business goes best with beer and some of the most interesting conversations are with strangers or people you hardly know over a golden goblet.

This week's feature is from far across our country enjoyed right here at the golf & country club in our small town. I don't often have Granville Island beer https://www.gib.ca/en-CA but they have a fantastic winter ale I pick up in that season. This delicious pint does have a sip out of it but is an English Bay Ale that went down very well after a round of golf.

Hang In There!

I have had a love/hate with Wellington https://www.wellingtonbrewery.ca/for decades. Hated it when I was unrefined enough to only like the cheap and the Molson while in college and later on when becoming an IPA head and they really weren't good at that game. Love when I was introduced to craft beer (we called it micro-brew back then) and again recently when they have dived headlong into creative and progressive hoppy goodness.

Oh how the pendulum sways the other way when Wellington has wild label branding, IPA, and one as crazy as Laid Back IPA https://www.wellingtonbrewery.ca/beers/small-batch-seasonals/layback-ipa The label may have made it jump off the shelf were it not for my better half point it out. When I looked at the guava and coconut, I twisted up my face as adding things to beer is tolerated, but bullshit like guava and coconut is not!

"You are getting it anyway?" she asked puzzlingly. "Of course! I am The Blockchain Beerologist and I am on a mission to taste them all!" Besides, if I liked every beer, there would be no variation and it is probably fun to read the odd flame in a beer blog no?

It weighs in at a refined 5.5 % alcohol by volume, but boasts a hearty 45 IBU and a dry hop that I particularly enjoy.

I gave my better half the first sip since she was partially responsible for it coming home with us and she made the funniest series of faces before choking out, "Oh no-no-no." Needles to say, I was prepared for the worst.

You can see I followed the recommendation of a tulip glass and chilled it perhaps a little lower than 6 Celsius. The first sip was like taking the kids to the fair....all over the place and noisy as hell. Then, my palate actually adjusted to it and settled down to where I could make out the flavours. I will never know what a guava tastes like (too healthy!) and I am no fan of coconut but this is not a bad beer. You may have to be a card-carrying hipster to love it totally but I am gonna give it an "I Don't Hate This" rating.

Keep experimenting and pushing the boundaries Wellington! I am watching!

Guava and coconut?! Where do these crazy ideas come from? :)

I really don't know.

It has gotten goofy up here with the scramble to come up with something new when the ingredients should be water, barley, hops and yeast. I bought it to be funny and ended up not hating it so it is happily another notch on my Beerologist belt.
