Good Beer Weekend

Friday night my wife and I shared a 750ml. bottle of Unibroue Black Currant Ephemere. It's not that often I pick a beer she really likes. It poured with a pretty pink/purple hue. Nice fruit flavor without being cloyingly sweet. Good wheaty bite behind it. We drank it in champagne flutes.

Today when I went to get my kids from spending the night at Grandpa's, I made my must stop at Gomer's. I found they have started carrying Bridgeport. The first time I have seen it in the Kansas/Missouri area. I grabbed a six of the IPA and drank a couple when I got home. Good stuff, I wanted more, but I'll save them for another day!

I read last week that Bridgeport was expanding distribution into KS and other states in the region...this was confirmed last week by the manager at Goebels here in Wichita stating Bridgeport was on its way. We get unibroue down here but I haven't seen any of the ephemere's...(had traded a few years ago for the apple and a couple of others, was unaware there was a black currant one). Was that in Gomers Kansas or in the Missouri side? (sounds like its about time I made a drive up to Gomers, MO, and maybe a stop in at Free State while I'm at it)

I bought the Ephemere at Royal at 103rd and State Line. I hadn't been there in a while. They have really expanded the beer selection. I think they rival the 99th and Holmes Gomers now. They had quite a few Belgian and British beer that I have not seen before.

I bought the Bridgeport at the Gomers on 39th. Their selection is not as good as the other one, but I was in the neighborhood. They had the Bridgeport IPA and ESB.

IIRC they are being brewed as a series. The first was straight, etc. The most recent (recent enough that I haven't seen it in this market) is the black currant.
