Welcome! First, I would like to thank you for visiting my blog, The Daily Mash. What can you expect from The Daily Mash? The Daily Mash will cover beer and beer-related occurrences that cross my path on my daily travels as the Craft Specialist of the wholesale beer distributor, Galli Distributing Company.
This is the first post for The Daily Mash, and it will cover a couple of beers that found their way into my hand (then mouth) on Friday, February 20, 2009.
The first of the two beers is Green Flash Imperial IPA. One of my favorite restaurants, Kaya, located here in Pittsburgh, is currently pouring this wonderful beer on draft! Green Flash Imperial IPA . . . super piney, resinous, bitterness, with hints of tangerine, leading to a beautifully, full-bodied Imperial (Double) IPA! This beer is special, and typically only available in 22 oz bottles, so get down to Kaya and grab one before it's too late!
The second beer I would like to mention today is Moylan's Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale. A stop to another local favorite spot of mine, Brillo Box, produced a memorable experience. I ordered the mac n' cheese: Farfalle pasta with smoked gouda, and topped with crisped shallots . . . Paired with a Moylan's Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale . . . Now you're talking! The Kilt Lifter had more than enough body to stand up to the smoked gouda mac, and the crisped shallots accentuated the bread crust and mild brown sugar notes of the Kilt Lifter beautifully! I found this to be an All Star pairing! The mac n' cheese and Kilt Lifter are both awesome by themselves, but together, they were in full blossom. Get over there and check them out!
Check back tomorrow. I'll be talking about the good times had by all at the 5th Annual Hell with the Lid Off Barleywine Festival!
