Lupidoptera the Flavor Opera

I'm way behind on writing this blog and one solution would be to skip some of the more normal days and focus on the big trips and more notable events. I think that's hard for me to do because Ernie is growing up so fast that I don't want to skip remembering the little things. Anyway here goes.












I believe the story here was the we had a reservation at Paisley's Tea Room in Issaquah but they were so rude and weird that we walked out and ended up at the nearby Well and Table. I don't think I even ordered this Lupidoptera IPA but when the server offered to take it back I decided to give this orphan a good home. Mainly because it was friggin blue! I guess they use "butterfly pea flowers which are naturally blue in color, but change to purple when introduced to an acidic environment such as beer". Pretty magical. Even the name "Lupidoptera" is right up my nerd alley, being a mashup of Mosaic Lupomax hops and Lepidoptera, the order of winged insects which include butterflies and moths.
