Blue Point Winter and Blue Point Spring Fling

Monday: A day of now, and soon to be.

At the end of the day on Mondays, you can frequently find me in Shadyside at The New Harris Grill. Depending where you draw the lines in the sand, Harris Grill may be considered the only good beer bar in Shadyside. Regardless, it's one of the best beer bars in Pittsburgh, and a favorite spot of mine.

Monday's offerings bring us Blue Point Winter and Blue Point Spring Fling.

Blue Point Winter:
Amber in appearance. Nice malty nose with hints of chocolate and toffee. Tons of malt up front with caramel, hints of chocolate, and the crust of bread. Finishes with a nice malty mouthfeel that lingers with good earthiness. A great Winter offering that doesn't look for attention through the over-done avenues of added spice.
Being that it's March 2nd, I live in Pittsburgh, and they're both fresh on draft, it's only fitting that the next beer I should have is a Blue Point Spring Fling.

Blue Point Spring Fling:
Color is copper. Nice bready, malty nose with good hop bouquet. Hop forward-Nice hop bitterness leads to a creamy malt backbone. Beer coats the mouth wonderfully! Dissipates slowly leaving a great, green hop bitterness to linger for minutes. This beer exemplifies everything Blue Point: Good malt, good hops, super clean, and balanced.

Blue Point Brewing Company: Presently classic. Balanced, modern ales, produced to quaff, repeatedly.

Tuesday is Boozeday . . . Am I allowed to say that? . . . I think I aaaaammmmmm . . .
