314. Brasserie D’Achouffe – Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel Draft

After having the Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan Nut Brown, I was feeling like something hoppy to finish off the night.  The bartender again let me try several samples to see if there was anything I might like (although I didn’t mentioned that I’d tried about half of the ones he was giving me before).  I’d remembered have a couple Belgian IPAs, and really enjoyed Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch, so the bartender...

I’m in Nashville for work and went to the Flying Saucer for dinner to hopefully try a couple new beers.  They had a ton of beers on tap (as you can see a small sample of their enormous tap wall in the picture here).  The bartender was great, letting me sample 4-5 different beers before finally making my selection.  After dinner, this sounded like a good one to have as a beer dessert, as the menu said, “Southern Pecan Nut...

I was looking for a place to go for dinner in Nashville, and a friend mentioned that The Flying Saucer was pretty close to my hotel.  While I don’t have a Flying Saucer nearby, I was fairly familiar with the concept from my cousin Steve, his wife Sarah, and my friend @BettyWriter (who sent me a Breckenridge Brewing glass from glass night at the Austin Flying Saucer).  They were having trivia tonight and I settled in at the bar...

This is my second beer here at Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery.  I started with the American Pale Ale, which wasn’t as hoppy as I had hoped, but it went pretty good with my burger.  Fortunately, I don’t have to travel again until tomorrow, so I stuck around for second beer.  Their porter was recommended to me by a friend on Twitter, but I had a craving for hops, and this seemed to be the best option after the American...

310. Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery – American Pale Ale Draft

Yesterday I was in San Jose, California having Gordon Biersch Maibock and Marzen, and after many airline delays, I made it to Nashville about 2 a.m.  So what better way to relax after some crazy travel than to grab a beer.  Right across the street from my hotel was the Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery.  I had visited here a couple years ago when I was here for work, but most recently, my sister brought me a growler of their Dry...
