Weekend Beer Review!

Good to know that the Gator enjoyed his maiden voyage to the Blind Tiger! I gotta take him to Spitzers Corner which I know he would like. Let's go Huskies (both Men & Women) and away we go!

1. St. Bernardus - Wit 5.5% abv - White Ale very carbonated, cloudy....this would be a very good summer beer. It says you can store this for 2-3 years. This one had a life at Jimmy of about 4 days. Glad that the abv is low as I have a couple of power houses coming.

2. Southern Tier Brewing Company - phin & matt's extraordinary ale - 5.6% abv - Excellent American Pale Ale. I have only had their big beers before and have found this a great change of pace. Again, quickly becoming my favorite brewer.

3. Troegs Hopback Amber Ale - 6.0% abv -very similar to phin & matts. I guess spring is the time for hops!

4. Sam Adams - Imperial Stout - I may be wrong but I am dividing stouts betwixt coffee style and chocolate style. Good beer ....still hate Boston!

Curious

as to how the Gator made out at the Blind Tiger last night.

NCAA Hockey!

Heading to second round action at the Arena at Harbor Yard tonight. Tactical errors committed during the Professional Bull Riding excursion are not likely to be repeated.

Update: Spent most of the time down there watching the Huskies go to their third Final Four. Go Huskies!

The Face of Congress....

From Powerline. How can this person be in a job other than that which requires the line; "Do you want fries with that?"

Brazilian President

Blames white people with blue eyes for the state of the economy.. I didn't know that dark skinned people with dark eyes ever have created a country with a sustainable economy. Maybe the Mexicans can go to Brazil. Or the Brazilians in the US go back to Brazil!
