Its warm out



Why hello there April, think you for ushering warm weather you have brought and the production of summer beer. On a second note, I will be searching for and reviewing the beers from the WBA (World Beer Awards) from last year. On to a beer which was no listed this year, Twisted Thistle from the Belhaven Brewery. Carrying a 6.1 ABV the Twisted Thistle as a light and sweet aroma with the hoppy kick you get from IPAs. With a healthily serving of hops this beer has a great blend of hops and wheat which make it smooth and easy to drink.

I don’t experience beer that I find hard to consume often but Troegs brewery made one. Their Dreamweaver, an American Pale Wheat Ale has wonderful citrus aroma, but was a little too soft. It was so light that it was almost undrinkable for me, not because it was not well made but it did not stimulate my palette. With a 4.8 ABV and cloudy yellow color, this is still a beer to try.

Having been busy making my own art, I have been unable to to see much as work as I would like. I did however walk into Elizabeth Harris to see the work of Greg Lindquist; the show included both paintings and sculptures. Greg, created plaster/ceramic tiles on the floor to be stepped on and destroyed during the duration of the exhibition. The front room of the gallery contained Greg’s paintings hung at different heights on the wall giving the view different viewpoints of similar images. His sculptures in the second room came off more as a ruin of decaying old buildings.
