Friday Beer Blogging: Pinky's Delirium Edition

So I'm in Friar Tucks last weekend looking (drooling) over the vast selection of beers when a familiar image comes into view. It was Pinky!

For those of you not from Springfield, Pinky is a bespectacled, martini-toting pink elephant that resides here when he isn't being exploited for commercial purposes elsewhere. He's been around these parts forever; see here for picture.

Anyway, there was Pinky on a bottle of Belgian beer called Delirium Nocturnum.

It's a very strong beer, listing the alcohol content at a whopping 9%.

It's brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe in Ghent, Belgium. This is the brewery...

Delirium Nocturnum has a sister beer called Delirium Tremens. Yes, as in the DTs. It, too, has a high alcohol content.

Friar Tucks has this beer too. I bought one of each. I drank the Delirium Nocturnum but decided to not die of alcohol poisoning and saved the Tremens for later.

The Nocturnum was just OK, but it did pack a punch. And I did get to party with Pinky's own brand!

Have a great weekend and honk if you love Pinky!
