Number 900

This is a quick post to chronicle my approach to the 900th beer on my Beer List. Number 898 is Of Love & Regret which is a saison-style ale from Stillwater Artisanal Ales. Stillwater is a located Baltimore, Maryland. I consumed this beer at the Wine Merchant in Cary, North Carolina.

Number 899 on the beer list is Pickup Line Porter from Bombshell Beer Company. Bombshell is a relatively new brewery located in the Raleigh suburb of Holly Springs, North Carolina. Interestingly enough, Bombshell made an appearance in my post on entry number 800. Their Polished Pilsner was number 801.

Cuing the drum roll, the 900th addition to my beer list is from Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck but is not a variety of their more well-known Kasteel line. Number 900 is instead St. Louis Gueuze Fond Tradition which is a lambic, specifically a geuze. It is a very sour beer. By the way, Van Honsebrouck is located in the city of Ingelmunster, Belgium. This beer was also consumed at the Wine Merchant as were the next two brews on the list.

Number 901 on the beer list is another brew from Stillwater. This one was Why Can't IBU. For my imaginary readers who are not up on their beer jargon, IBU is an abbreviation for International Bitterness Unit. It is a measure of bitterness. Not surprisingly, this beer is quite hoppy.

Finally, number 902 on the beer list is I Love You With My Stout from Evil Twin Brewing. I have previously commented on the vagabond nature of Evil Twin.
