This beer just landed in my lap, many times with beer trades, the traders will throw in “extras”.  Extras could be anything, but many times they are local craft beers.  In one of my recent beer trades, a bottle of Real Ale Phoenixx Double ESB appeared in my box of Flying Dog Dogschwarz double black lager.  Not knowing anything about the beer except for an unsolicited thumbs up for the brew, I’m excited to try this local Texas beer.

Since I had the Wychwood Fiddler’s Elbow English Pale Ale, I thought it would be fitting to have the Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery Pale Ale right after to get a good appreciation for the two English pale ales.

I’m not entirely sure how this Wychwood Fiddler’s Elbow English Pale Ale ended up in my Beer Cellar, but it has been there for a couple months and you don’t want to let Pale Ales sit to long, they don’t have a great shelf life.  At 5.2% abv, I thought it would bee a good session beer to have today.
