Interesting Fact
A bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material. Learn more on the Wikipedia entry. Even more interesting is that bog snorkelling is popular in England and Wales and has even produced the associated sport of mountain bike bog snorkelling.
Rett says Two of 2 is one too many
February 15th, 2008
I tried Surly 2 in small sample size at Winterfest last friday towards the end of the night. I was getting pretty toasted so the different beers were beginning to merge into one glorious happy generic beer. Then Surly 2 came through and it was like someone stabbed a straw through my throat and began pouring cranberry-flavored cough syrup in. I quickly asked for a tea-bagged furious.
Then on Monday Rebekah and I met up with Erin, Ben, and Josh at the Blue Nile for an official sampling. This time I enjoyed it. I think partly because I didn’t have a bunch of other beers fresh on my tongue, but also because I was able to get past the initial shock of flavor. I ended up finishing Erin’s as well, and I’d say two of 2 is 1 too many.

Three stars is a lot for the feeling of being stabbed.
