So last Saturday I went into Charlottesville to see Lucero which is one of my favorite bands play at the Jefferson Theatre. It was a great show and the Jefferson venue really impressed me. I tried Sam Adams Noble Pils for the first time there and really enjoyed it. I especially like the style of pilsner for it's grace and delicateness. I also had some Starr Hill Ambers which are one of my favorites that Starr Hill brews. The reason why I mention this is that this led me to be at all four Brew Ridge Trail breweries in a given week, and really in four days. Wednesday there was a local marketing meeting held at Blue Mountain Brewing Company and I had some really incredible beers. Their "Blue" is a Belgian-style Triple and is delicious and their orange imperial stout aged in pinot noir barrels was amazing, I forget the exact name if it but the beer was more than memorable. Friday found me at Starr Hill dropping off World Beer Cup entries. Starr Hill is a great neighbor to have. They are a production brewery and share some of the logistical assets they have. I had their new double IPA, I think its called Hop Star (keep your eyes open for it), and it was terrific. I also had their Triple which is world class. Saturday found me in Charlottesville and before the rock show I went to South Street Brewing Company for dinner. I had a great Saison and an old ale called Absolution. The Absolution was an incredible beer, get it before it's gone. Anyway, this past week confirmed that I live in a great place with great beer. And oh yeah, Lucero blew the doors off of the Jefferson. Check out the Brew Ridge Trail and the band.
