You gotta love a movie theater that has a selection of beverages like this.  

So, I’m set to watch “Campaign” at the movie theater and decided to true up on my beer log by trying the Trip3l. (more…)

This is the first morning that I felt very fresh!  Partly, because the evening before is the first time in a while that I didn’t feel exhausted.  Now that Tammy has graduated from AOMA, we have our weeks free when Isabel is dropped off.  This afternoon, I decided to go to Opal Divines for lunch with Tammy.  I had the Lucky Ol’ Sun from Ranger Creek brewery in San Antonio, TX.  It’s described as a golden ale with pilsner malt, candy sugar and Texas honey.  How could I resist.

Beer Advocate has it categorized as a Belgian Strong Ale, but I disagree.  This is a rather light beer in taste.  If I breathed in the bursty carbonation before my sit I got a tasty feel for cotton candy vapors.  The honey came through, but in a sweet mature way.  I could really sense the rock candy swirl that was playing like a washing machine in my mouth.

This complimented my chicken finger lunch extremely well.  An excellent summer companion.

It’s 10am and I dropped off Molly at Groomingdales, which I highly recommend if your pets need some love here in Austin.  On my way back home I decided to do a pit stop at Thunderbird Coffee.  But I didn’t come here to drink a cup of joe, but rather to drink a Vanilla Porter Ale from Breckenridge Brewery in CO.

At first the pour into the chilled pint glass didn’t seem to surprise me. (more…)

A bohemian or Schwarzbier lager that is very rich and tasty.  This is leftover from my daughters 3rd birthday party.  I’ll admit, I’ve had this beer before and really looked forward to trying it again.  I drank it straight out of the bottle and not into  a pint glass, so no comments on the color and head of this malty, chocolaty, and roasted beer.  It reminds me of drinking a nicely chilled coffee toddy.  It will suit you well if you drank this on a hot summer day, and being in Texas, that is usually 9 months out of the year.

Boy am I behind in my updating my beer log.  I should be on Day 23, but I’m playing catch-up in logging my findings.  Sunday, I’m getting ready for my daughters 3rd birthday party and  I bought the Costco Shiner melody of beers.  In it was their Shiner Kosmos, an American Pale Lager.

The countdown starts.  27 days till lift off to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival.  I figured that a worthy goal is to try a beer that I have never had before each day for the next 27 days.  So hear it goes, day 27, I’m enjoying a St. Bernardus Abt 12. (more…)
