After work today I swung by Newport Market over on the westside for their Thirsty Thursday beer tasting. I just found out about these Thirsty Thursdays recently; they’re every, er, Thursday from 3:30 until 6:00. Free beer! Can’t go wrong with that.
Today it was a rep from Deschutes Brewery doing tasting of their two newest: Inversion IPA and Buzzsaw Brown. Both good, but the IPA was really good. So I picked up a six-pack of it, and then, to my amazement, found a bottle of Deschutes’ Mirror Mirror, which I’d heard about but hadn’t seen anywhere. I’m excited! But it’s a big barleywine, so I’m saving it for the weekend. Or Friday night.
So remember—Thursdays at Newport Market.

uh, being a single parent this week, what time did you pick up B? So, was that why you guys were eating dinner and bath later??? Hmm, nice of you to tell me on the phone of your new find, ya dork.
Word. DH scored a 12-pack of the Inversion from a DB rep and I was going to get a bottle to you — didn’t know it was already out in stores. I’m enjoying one right now! Now I don’t have to share!
Hahahaha, I appreciate the thought, anyway :-). You rock.
I’m a wondering what the brown tested out at – is the review on Brewpub?
I haven’t looked for any reviews on it yet. It was good light session beer, not too bitter, a little nutty. I’m going to pick some up when I see it in the store, but I haven’t seen it yet (except for the tasters).
