When you're really thirsty on a very hot summer's day, nothing beats a 12 pack of Coors Lite... tastes like bottled water and probably has less alcohol...plus you get your deposit back on the bottle.

Today I treated myself to a six pack of Highland Brewery's seasonal Devil's Britches red India pale ale...

Never had it, but I love everything else they make...

Whilest at the store I saw a 12 pack of assorted Highland goodies....but alas, Devil's Britches was not amongst them. And I really wanted to try it....yes
..mostly because of the name... :)

I've been enjoying the winter selection of beers. Leinie's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter and Boulder's Shake Chocolate Porter.

Though it will be nice to start switching it up with spring beers and I'm already looking forward to days spent in the pool enjoying Summer Shandy. :)

Devil's Britches was good...fruity tasting almost...then a super hoppy finish. I didn't hate it, but Gaelic Ale is still my fave :)

ooops, I was informed it was Asahi Dark beer. Well, I must confess, it was a good time and I was tasting everything! It is dark, lookie....

'Tis the season for Abita Strawberry Harvest. My fave. It isn't a sweet lager at all, but it has the perfect hint of strawberry.

I will readily admit to being a beer lightweight. Give me a cold Rolling Rock and I'm good. I'm much more of a wine guy.

Beer lovers:

Am I odd...or just fabulously focused....in my belief that chocolate and beer pair well??

Its almost as good as pizza and beer...which I also had tonight..

Certain beers and chocolate go together, so no you aren't odd, to me that is
:jester:

Not odd at all. A high octane chocolate stout is my favorite kind of beer.

I have never understood beer and pizza. It is beer and diet coke/coke!

My sister got me a 6-pack of Shiner Birthday Beer for my birthday. A really tasty chocolate stout. And I recently picked up some Guinness and Guinness Blonde, so this weekend I'm thinking Black & Blondes are on the menu. :)

My new summer brew...try it!
 

I'm going to an iconic local pub on Friday and I'm determined to try some new beer!



I am hopelessly devoted to Highland brews....but I know I have to branch out...

Asheville is far too much of a beer town for me to set my hat on just one brewery! We have 2 dozen breweries in the Asheville area alone.

For a new beer lover, this is heaven :)

Why does everyone and her sister think she can brew a great craft beer? Lots of that stuff really stinks but you don't know it till you've paid for it. I don't want prune pits in my beer no matter how "interesting" it sounds.
