Bit to Do [1]

We drink beer for a lot of different reasons.  Some people drink for an escape from the day's trials, some share a drink with friends to bond, others drink for the health benefits [4] (I still get somewhat aggravated that wine gets such a better health rap than beer).  Last night I stopped by Buckhead [5] (3020 Bardstown Road) as they rolled out their craft beer app at this location (you may remember that I reviewed the Rocky's roll out in a previous post [6]), and attempted to drink to obtain infinite wisdom...Upland [7] Brewing Company's Infinite Wisdom Tripel [7] that is.

If you enjoy local beer, and Belgian beer, then this is a delicious choice.  Upland is located just north of us in Bloomington, Indiana and I have been a fan of their beers for a while, actually ever since I was introduced to Upland Wheat.  Anyway, back to last night.  The bartender poured my brew after I perused through the application to see what they were serving on draft, and I was hooked on first taste.  You get some nice banana and lemon undertones from this hazy Tripel.  A silky smooth mouthfeel and not being overly carbonated allows it to go down very easily.  You'd never know it weighs in at 9% ABV because, to me, the alcohol was virtually undetectable; so be careful if you drink more than one to not let it sneak up on you.  

This is an excellent Belgian Tripel [8], and even the contributing reviewers to Beeradvocate.com [9] and Ratebeer.com [10] seem to agree, assigning scores of 83 and 90 respectively.  I can't honestly say that after I finished it that I felt like I had obtained any more wisdom, but I did feel wittier....maybe Infinite Wisdom was actually a Belgian Witbier.....HEY-O!!!!

I can keep them coming all day, don't believe me?  Interact with me on the Lville Beer Facebook [11] page, Twitter [12] feed, or even on Foursquare [13] and find out just how much more obnoxiously amazing I can get.  Share us with your friends too, we like to get around.
