WILK Friday BeerBuzz–5 Nov 2010 (Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale vs Blue Point Toxic Sludge IPA)

The Friday BeerBuzz Team is a generous and giving group.  We love sharing our beer and we do whatever it takes to make our local beer-loving listeners happy.  It was challenging and fun to feature two different beers on the Friday BeerBuzz today, but we did it all for you..the beer lover…and here’s why.  Keep in mind that this week (11/5) is our FIRST EVER Friday BeerBuzz Live appearance.  We’ll be pouring samples of BOTH Blue Point Toxic Sludge IPA and Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale at Krugel’s Georgetown Deli & Beer (Rt 309 by the Big Cow in Wilkes-Barre Twp) from 5-7PM…..AND we figured if you’re going to come out and have a beer with the Friday BeerBuzz team…we should offer up not one, but TWO BEERS!   AND don’t forget that the lovely Mrs BeerBuzz will be operating BEER CAM at Krugel’s so be sure to say hi to BEER CAM and you’ll be included in the BEER CAM video for the Krugel’s appearance!
We recently sampled another Stone brew with Mitch Steele, Head Brewer for Stone Brewing on the Friday BeerBuzz, and Mitch mentioned that one of his favorite Stone beers is Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale.  Of course this beer has also been a favorite of mine, so I thought it was a perfect beer to compare.

Next we chose Blue Point Toxic Sludge IPA as our second dark IPA contender.  I’ve been enjoying Blue Point’s Pale Ale, and I love the fact that all proceeds from the sale of Toxic Sludge support the BP oil-spill bird clean-up efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.  This made it an easy choice….and when you’re talking Escondido California versus Long Island New York, there are no losers.

First let me say this is a comparison of beers and not intended to pick a winner.  These are two great beers so the real winner here is all of us who get to sample and enjoy these two great brews.  Second, let me remind you that these are both locally available beers…and third let me remind you AGAIN, to come out to Krugel’s Georgetown Deli & Beer TONIGHT from 5-7PM to sample these beers with us.  You know you’ve always wanted to come out and have a beer with the Friday BeerBuzz team….well tonight’s your night.  Mark your dance cards and get to Krugel’s!

A really fun show and TWO really tasty beers!…
Thanks
