link love

this one should actually be on link hate instead of link love
yet another pandering to the concept that women don’t love beer
i guess what can you expect from a women’s magazine… but still
its articles like this that keep the stupid stereotype alive
womens health magazine on the best beers for women

here’s a much better link – to a helpful how-to introduce beer to the not-yet-converted
for all humans with tastebuds!

and a half decent post about orval’s new female head brewer

mexico

i leave for mexico in nine days’ time
this is very exciting for me

i have not been finding much time to keep this blog current
hopefully after three weeks in the sun i will be recharged and return with new vigour to blog, blog, blog!

my goal for this year’s trip is to find all the beers below and try them!
not just take a photo of them like i did last year!

san francisco

just randomly walking down 2nd street on my way between the bart from the airport and 21st amendment brewery
as in very shortly after arriving in san francisco on a thursday afternoon
i passed an indian restaurant whose curtain protecting their beer stock had fallen
i was stopped in my tracks checking out the beers they had on offer
and i was impressed:
delerium tremens
shipyard ipa
kingfisher
taj
flying horse
duvel

please excuse the intense glare in the photo,
it was the best i could do in the circumstances!

go figure!
i felt like this was a very good sign of the beer delights in store for me for the rest of my beer vacation in san francisco!
