Reviews from First Friday October 2010

Thanks to everyone who came out for the 23rd "First Friday."

For those who couldn't make it, there's always next month on Nov. 5 @ 8 p.m.

As we approach the second anniversary of First Friday, we have sampled 255 beers.

A run-down of our favorite beers from October 2010:

Bruery Mischief
If Hawaii and a devious German midget met and started a micro-brewery, this might be their first release. Yummy, refreshing, evil and citrusy.

Hacker Pschorr
Lots of flavor, but without the bite.
Smooth and tasty... like me. Hardy har har

Ayinger Oktoberfest Marzen
Favorite of the night

Barons Lemon Myrtle Witbeer
I like this. It seems like a nice summer beer.
Is this lemon Budweiser?
Better than I expected.
Lemon face
Light, tasty and lemony

Saint Somewhere Saison Athene
Kind of got a medicine taste to it
Might be my favorite beer of the night.
Has a champagney effervescence

Hinano Tahiti
Very good body, no after taste
Nice and smooooooth -- another one I could drink all night long!

Blue Moon Grand Cru
Way better than your average Blue Moon
So smooth -- another winner tonight!
Yum

Sierra Nevada Torpedo
My favorite Sierra Nevada of all time

Wells Banana Bread Beer
Banana-rama ding dong!
Better than I would have guessed

Delirium Tremens
Always top notch

Duvel Belgian Golden
Smooth and something I could drink a lot of

Hoegaarden
De-lish and smooth

Boddingtons Cream Ale
The first English beer I tried, way back when

Good!
