I am tasting my first sips of freedom.
Today, at 12:00 AM, John’s Grocery officially began selling high-proof beers from Bell’s Brewery, including Two Hearted, Expedition Stout, and their Old Ale. This is the first strong beer I am aware of sold in Iowa.
The night perhaps had an atmosphere similar to an evening 77 years earlier.
They also got a number of kegs, including Hopslam that will be on tap at the Hideaway and Red’s in North Liberty, as well as a few from Peace Tree Brewing from Knoxville, Iowa.
I’ve had Two Hearted before, but never has it tasted this good.

Ah, the taste of freedom is mighty sweet (or should I say hoppy), indeed.
