I was celebrating with friends today — and spent the evening at Sine’s Irish Pub in DC.  Of course, in honor of the Widmer Brewer who commented on my blog, I decided to drink the Widmer Hefeweizen all night … and it was good (it is a gold medal winner).   Not sure how many I ended up drinking but it wasn’t a new beer for me … so … I went to an emergency stash I had in my beer fridge and slammed down a nice Southern Tier Pale Ale.  It was a good choice — a nice night cap for the evening.  I’m assuming this was an APA … well-balanced — good malt mix with the hops.  Thoroughly enjoyed it … both beers were great.
