'Cause It's Friday....

Beer #314 Double Pale Ale / Shawnee Brewing Company, Shawnee-on-Delaware, PA

It's the weekend, and you can't possibly be interested in reading about little old me.  I kid; of course you are.  However, I won't slow down your Friday night with my tales of work and plans for the weekend (hint: yoga!), so let's go ahead and get down to business.

Tonight's beer is the Double IPA from Shawnee Brewing Company.  This one was on draft at Pinnochio's, a pizzeria/beer garden in Media, PA.  It pours a hazy light amber, with a thin head.  You pick up an aroma of citrus and some light malt notes.  There are flavors of lemon and some toffee, with a nice bitter finish.  Despite being 7.5% ABV, this beer is rather easy drinking.  From the brewery website, it appears they're working on a kriek beer, which I very much look forward to sampling.

Please ignore

This brewery sits near the Delaware River, and sits on the ground of the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort.  Now you know.

Thing to Think About Today:
"I'm gonna get you high today, 'cause it's Friday.  And you ain't got no job.  And you ain't got shit to do!"

And with that sentence, you get the essence of the movie Friday, a tale of two guys hanging out in South Central L.A., spending their day doing... well.... not a whole lot.  Sound like an amazing movie?  No, when you put it that way, probably not.  Yet it's an absolutely hilarious film - starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker - and one I clearly need to re-watch as soon as possible.  'Cause it's Friday.....
