Grim Reaper's Eulogy 
Another Ipswich ale from Mercury Brewing.  Great tasting IPA that didn't go over the top. Excellent taste and easy to drink by the session.  I am glad they now ship to our area.

Check out the three masted schooner in scrimshaw effect on Mercury's Ipswich labels. Shiver me timbers and sink one of these soon, ya' landlubbers! Very cool logo.  Slightly different from its little brother the "Original Ale". Looking forward to other selections from them soon.

Grim Reaper's Eulogy 
A real find at the local watering hole.  What can I say, mortals? Here is a brew that has heretofore been unseen in these parts of the southeast. I tried this one first and then his big brother, the IPA. It was truly a nice amber colored English Pale Ale. Quite tasty indeed!

A great lead in to the IPA and it also helped that it quenched my thirst. Sail out of the store with some of these any time at all.
