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
to John, Nancy, Joe & Bosco (GREAT music Bosco!) for yet another fun Friday.
The Friday Beerbuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.

ReplyDeleteMartin
Martin....I'll ask Bosco and get back to you.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the Stone SSRA more than a few times. This is a great beer. Thank you for posting it on WILK. This was a well kept secret so I guess I'll have to compete to buy some bottles now =}
ReplyDeleteSee you at Krugel's later on. Save me a Stone.

Are you trying to make come connection between Blue Point and Stone?

ReplyDeleteYou lost me. These beers share a ber-style, but beyond that I'm not aware of any connection between the breweries.
Save me a beer at Krugel's buzzers.
ReplyDeleteJason (Cortland, NY)
And yes I'm driving down from NY to say hi.
The song for Toxic Sludge IPA was "Toxic" by Britney Spears.....and alas I'm tragicallly un-hip because I didn't recognize it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy and thanks Bosco!
PS I did recognize the Righteous Borthers!
The Blue Point Toxic Sludge was great and I love anything that has Stone Brewing on the label! Two excellent beers and we'll be pouring samples at Krugel's this afternoon at 5! (Friday, 11/5).
ReplyDeleteI think we ought to consider a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday BeerBuzz show as well! lol
Thanks and great job as always Bill!

A double plus. Twice the fun! See you at Krugels.
ReplyDeleteAmy
I love Sublimely and I think the Toxic is a great choice. I applaud the beer buzz team for supporting the rescue and rehab of our gulf shore birds. I'm not a big beer drinker but I can certainly get behind and beer that benefits animals. Nancy & Webster I also thank you for the animal house segment.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
I've been suggesting you compare two beers for a few months, so even though you didn't use the two I suggested I do appreciate you doing a two-beer compare. Now please do mine.
ReplyDeleteJerry (Shav)
PS I am just kidding. Thank you.
Jerry:
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotten you. And we may do your two beers when things settle down a little. It's a great idea and I appreciate the suggestion. I'll buy you a Toxic and Self-righteous tonight as a thank you ;)
You sir are a dictionary of beer knowledge. Awsome info.
ReplyDeleteSteve
Steve:
ReplyDeleteI prefer to be called an Veritable Encyclopedia of beer knowledge but I'll take it. I'm kidding for sure, but thank you. I am a student of the beer and I try to "study" when I can.
Cheers
I've listened to every show. I even woke my wife up on vacation to listen in on-line in Aug. I love what you guys are doing and I hit Krugel's almost once a week now. I didn't even know they were there befor eyou guys. The show has been amazing (how did you get Terry last week!?) I think the beer questions are a great idea and I'll send some in but the best part is Bosco's music!
ReplyDeleteKerry
knock knock
ReplyDeletewho's there
the Friday Beerbuzz
See you all at Georgetown tonight.
Wait...who's there?
ReplyDeleteAre Krugels pouring bottles or kegs?
ReplyDeleteAnon. It is my understanding we'll be pouring samples on DRAFT, but they will be selling bottles for those that want to take some home. They'll also be selling several other draft beers (in glasses and growlers) including Bavarian Barbarian/Bullfrog Brewing GOTHIKA...AND bottles you can drink there or take home AND great food you can eat there or take home. Sounds like a win win win to me....and of course we'll all be there to say hi and talk beer!
ReplyDeleteLove the new logo. Great beer choices Bill.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Krugel's?
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon. Krugel's Georgetown Deli & Beer is located on Rt 309 at the Big Cow in Wilkes-Barre Twp. It's just south of Home Depot and Sams Club. Just look for the big cow!
ReplyDeleteCan't make it tonight but I'll stop up for some Stone tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSue
Bosco is the man!
ReplyDeleteThis used to be a funhouse. But now it's a funnier-house Nancy! Thank you for getting my hubby to buy me some good beer.
ReplyDeleteJenna
Jenna...be sure to say hi to Mrs BeerBuzz at Krugel's tonight. She'll be operating Beer Cam and she is well versed in craft beers...
ReplyDeleteas is Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThis beer is for the birds and I want some.
ReplyDeleteTJ
@John...I'd agree....see if WILK is interested ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the Blue Point Pale Ale but haven't had the sludge. I'll try it tonite.
ReplyDeleteGood job buzzers. I'll stop in to the big cow and say hi.
ReplyDeleteCounting down to happy hour guys! I'll buy you guys a beer.
ReplyDeleteBob
The video looks great but I can't see Beercam. I miss beercam!
