Stuff Zig Iggs: Creative Spellers

I co-habitate with what I affectionately dub a "creative speller." This results in some of the most amazing words ever uttered in the quasi-English language. I give you:

angnolament: (noun) a dirge sung by members of the American Needlepoint Guild; performed in the Gayaki-Ang style

Stuff Cwig Iggs: Craft Beer

Okay, if you know me you know I'm a big fan of craft beer. So while I'm not great at describing the pallet of the brews, I thought I would share some musings on them.

Hobgoblin (Wychwood Brewery) 5.2% ABV

Jeremy Moss, Wychwood's head brewer, describes the drink as "full bodied and well balanced with a chocolate toffee malt flavour, moderate bitterness and a distinctive fruity character with a ruby red glow."

This is one of my favorites-- easily found in any store with a modest craft brew selection, and not too expensive. I often find it in the 500 mL bottles, but it can also be acquired in the standard 6-pack size.

I find that-- given it's richness-- it's best enjoyed during the Autumn or Winter. (It might be a little heavy for typical summer cuisine.) Go Anglo, and sip it with a plate of Bubble and Squeak.
