Cocktail-A-Day

Triumph Brewing Company in Philadelphia is a great micro brewery. Located at 3^rd and Chestnut, they have a great selection on draft. Earlier this week, I tried their Coffee and Cream Stout over lunch. I am a more of a lager kind of guy, but I decided to try something different. The coffee and cream stout tastes like iced coffee with a hint of a stout beer. It one of the smoothest beers I have had.

Just like John Harvard’s, their menu is a little on the expensive side, however the lunch menu is reasonable enough. Its a good place to get out of work for lunch, have a beer, and return with a full satisfied stomach. The restraunt in Philly is a very trendy design, with exposed support beams and fermentation tanks above the bar, the place has a nice look. Check out the pictures on their website.

As for the stout here is what Triumph described it as:

“A hybrid style created by crossing our coffee stout with milk stout. Adding unfermentable milk sugar (lactose) in the kettle results in a texture that is rich, chewy and, quite literally, creamy”
