I'm hanging out at the Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom is a good place to meet your friends. The pizza is good, but it is on the sweet side for some.

Karen has crashed earlier for the night and Katie Beth is down, too.

So, I walked up to Mellow Mushroom to enjoy a beer. The customers are thinning out. The music is very 80’s and 70’s. Presently, it is a Police song, “Material World”.

I had Olde Towne’s Oktoberfest. It is a little too sweet, but it is not a malty sweet.

Hercules Double IPA by Great Divide Brewing Co

Hercules Double IPA by Great Divide Brewing CoThis is the first time that I have had this that I can remember.

Hercules Double IPA has a rich strong hop flavor with good malt backbone. I am not a big fan of IPA or Double IPA for the matter, but this beer is very good for the style. Many Double IPAs have either too much maltiness over powering the hops or the hops slap you in the face with too little malt flavor. This beer strikes a good balance.
