Club & Brewer Notes:
Quadrupel!… now you’re drinking something a little stronger. Three Philosophers is a remarkable limited edition strong ale brewed by Brewery Ommegang in response to a home brewer’s description of his dream beer. Realbeer.com, some website, hosted a contest called “Create a Great Beer.” Brewery Ommegang was chosen by Realbeer.com to brew this Belgian-style ale for the winning essayist. Noel Blake, a home brewer from Portland wrote the winning description for what his “dream beer” would be like. He named the beer based on an unpublished manuscript by William Blake (no relation) called "An Island in the Moon." So if you don’t like it, his name again is Noel Blake and his address is 6110 SW 45th Ave, Portland, Oregon 97221. And if anyone has the balls, it would be great if you could give him a call right now at (503) 977-2818 and let him know we’re drinking his beer.
