If you rely on my facebook or twitter to be notified when new content goes up on here it may have seemed like I was conspicuously absent. Well, I suppose I was, but I did not shirk my duties as far as sharing you my inane babbling about beers. If you look back I talked about Two beers from Sun King, Osiris, and Bourbon Barrel Wee Mac, and Frankenmuth's Hefeweizen. Go check those out. Good stuff. The reason I wasn't posting those reviews to facebook or twitter is that I was out of the country and well outside of cell service. My travels will also be responsible for vastly aesthetically improved bacgrounds for the photos on the blog for the next month or so as well as a dearth of Canadian craft beer! We'll get to those in due time. First I have a few beers that I brought up with me that we need to run through before we can get to the Canadian ones. At the top of that list is Mother of Exiles. A pilsner from one of my favorites, Chicago's Revolution brewing. I'm getting a bit of a Daenerys Targaryen vibe from the name of this beer. I guess she's the Mother of Dragons, rather than the Mother of Exiles. Athough, I suppose all of the slaves that she freed in Mereen and Astapor and such would qualify her as the Mother of Exiles. In actuality the name comes from the poem The New Colossus that is famously emblazoned upon the Statue of Liberty. So the Mother of exiles isn't Daenerys Targaryen, but Lady Liberty! You learn something new every day. But I digress, to the beer!
