    Some of you may recall the Coffee District as the location of the MikeLovesBeer.com 2 Year Anniversary party back in June.  Well now it’s time for the Coffee District to celebrate their own birthday.

    This whole upcoming weekend CD will be having their birthday in style and it all kicks off this Thursday, September 2nd.  Chung was one of only two bars in South Florida to get a keg of Coton from the Bruery, which is the Bruery’s 2nd Anniversary brew.  And it will be getting tapped Thursday night and will be on all weekend while it lasts.  This is an incredible beer that I believe all beer geeks need to try.  And this is an extremely rare keg that you won’t find really anywhere else.  I don’t see it lasting the entire weekend so you better get out and try it while you can.

    Also Thursday will include musical entertainment from Soup and Richard King along with the comedy stylings of Furious Rod.  There is also the potential for much more guest appearances.  Who knows maybe yours truly will give a quick little set.  Hmmmm.

    Friday and Saturday nights will be your typical karaoke and open mic nights and all those regulars will be happy to continue celebrating throughout the weekend.

    So you better get yourself out this weekend to the Coffee District one of these days.  I say you should go Thursday so you don’t miss out on getting to try Coton off tap.

    Mischief

    Name – Mischief
    Country – United States
    Type – Belgian Strong Pale Ale

    Appearance – Poured a cloudy orangish color with a big fluffy white head.  It leaves a decent amount of lacing on the glass.

    Smell – The Belgian yeast stands out to me along with citrus and fruity hops.  Some pineapple I get in there.

    Taste – Very nice piny, citrusy hop character mixes with the yeast taste very nicely.  There is a slight, ever so slight funk to it.  You get some spices as well including a bit of a black pepper like quality.

    According to the Bruery’s website they are going to be making Mischief all year round now.  That’s awesome news because when it first came down here my local store didn’t get any bottles.  Well this is from the newest shipment and I love the new bottle caps they have now instead of the plain gold ones they use to have.  This is a great beer.  An awesome hop character mixes well with the Belgian yeast on it.  I would put this up against any other Belgian IPA styles.

    Overall Grade – A-

    United We Drink is Live (Sorta)!

    For a little while I have been brainstorming an idea of doing a podcast dedicated to beer.  I kind of stopped for a little bit of time until recently.  I had the site pretty much designed out.  I had the domain purchased.  Just didn’t have anyone to do it with.  Well low and behold my good friend Phil from Dos Beerigos was up to the task and with that United We Drink was born.

    Phil had been doing some video blogs for a little while and I just figured he would be a perfect fit for this venture.  So we negotiated and I was able to land Phil’s vocal services for an undisclosed amount of time.  Phil was pretty much sold on the idea and name.

    Last night we recorded our first episode.  Tonight I will be editing it and tomorrow I will have the episode up.  So head on over to http://www.unitedwedrink.com/ and check things out.  Subscribe to the RSS feed to stay up to date and be sure to follow @UnitedWeDrink on Twitter.

    We hope you enjoy listening as much as we are going to enjoy making the podcasts.  Cheers!
