One of the great things about meeting my folks halfway between Oley and Philly is having dinner at Sly Fox Brewery in Royersford. Sure, the food isn’t world-class, but I’m always eager to try their latest offering of draught beer.
I tried two new beers tonight. I got a 20 oz. glass of their oatmeal stout, which I thought was fantastic, and their Saison Vos, which seemed finely crafted, just not to my personal taste. (I wanted to try their Saison Vos because I’ve enjoyed the glasses of Ommegang’s Rare Vos at Memphis Taproom in the past few weeks.) No dice.
So what filled my growler before we headed back to Fishtown? Their tried-and-true Route 113 IPA. I had their award-winning Rauch Bier after my last visit, but wanted to spend some more time with their IPA before I treat myself to some monster holiday brews as Christmas nears. I’m eyeing up some Troegs Mad Elf already!
What have you been drinking this fall? What will you drink this winter? I’m always looking to try new beers, so share your favorites!
