Keg Kicked! Mom to Blame!


Well, we thought a 20 liter keg would last a month on average. And then, Mom came to visit. You wouldn't know she was so thirsty from her innocent exterior. She's always smiling innocently and saying things like "I just love these fancy beers!" but in reality she's guzzling the stuff when your back is turned. To add insult to injury, she totally whipped my butt in cribbage! Parents! All joking aside, we can't entirely blame it on Mom that our keg of La Chouffe has come to it's sad, yeasty end. It was a very enjoyable beer on tap- quite dry and easy to pair with food. It had subtle flavors of coriander and citrus peel and a pleasing hint of hoppy bitterness in the finish. I think it's perhaps slightly hoppier in the keg than in the bottle. Now, we just have to decide how to fill the void in the cooler until the maibock gets here. Also, if you are wondering just how fast you would go through 20 liters of beer, here's our stats: at a rate of one or two beers a piece, per night, (factoring in for dinner guests, or a thirsty Mom), 20 liters lasts about 3 weeks!

Dude, I totally saw her at the frat house kegger last week. She was doing funnels of Rolling Rock.
