Review: English Ales Brewery

I hate to trash a microbrew place but I have no choice with this place.
Their beer just isn't good.
I got the Dragon Slayer IPA and it was not to my liking.  It wasn't that it was bland; it had a flavor.  It just wasn't what I would call good.
My friend had a four beer taste flight of their porter, pale ale, and corkscrew ale beers as well as the Dragon Slayer.  All of them were a bit off. 
The one redeeming factor was the fun collection of beer mugs hanging from the ceiling.  Regulars buy mugs and are served from their mugs when they come.  Nice idea.

Pyramid IPA @ roller derby

Alright, I admit that I am just writing this review so I can talk about the awesome time I had at the roller derby match last night. It was a sold out match, first of the season, between the San Francisco ShEvil Dead and the Richmond Wrecking Belles.  We were obviously good luck to the ShEvil Dead.  When we arrived, they were behind by 30 points.  At the end of the night they won 158-119!
My favorite player was tiny Trixie Pixie.  She just slipped past the defenders and scored over and over.
As for the beer, I was a bit disappointed.  I had Pyramid Ale's IPA.  It was far to sweet for my tastes. (BTW That is not my hand in the photo.)
