mexico

friends, romans, countrymen

dudes!
i’m off to mexico to drink cerveza for a coupla weeks

p.s. no one else from my house is leaving, so like don’t even think about chiding me for announcing publicly that i won’t be home!!

beer flan recipe

just in time for my mexico departure
here’s a recipe for black ale mexican flan

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!

the onion has made me snort liquid out of my nose again!
and because of the reference to labatts tequila, the article qualifies as beer-related and therefore totally legit to post here!!!
oh happy day!
and oh how i wish there really was a canada mexico overpass!

tastings

if you are at a total loss of what to do with yourself between 4 and 7 tonight, and are in vancouver

MEXICAN CONSULATE TASTING
Friday, Sept 16, 2011 4 to 7 pm
Join members of the Mexican Consulate as they pour a handful of different beers and tequilas from Mexico.

not gonna lie to you, i think this beer and tequila tasting excites me a whole lot more than the molson canadian one!

tonight, i will happily be sipping away on green flash beers and eating delicious food at the rogue kitchen and wetbar’s beer pairing dinner! yay!! best deal in town – $35 for four course meal and beer pairing

mexico

love mexican food?

you need to hit up mexicofest!!
oaxacan cuisine – deeelicious!

chelada

trust anheuser busch to have taken a lovely mexican idea and, well, taken it

i have been known to extol the virtues of a true mexican michelada
as it is the beer version of the caesar and probably most refreshing in hot weather
but i find the concept of ruining perfectly good beer with clamato not something i am likely to do

shans is heading to sasquatch this weekend
and is overwhelmingly excited to be stopping at american walmart on her way
to stock up on the bud chelada
i cringe
but hope for her sake it is all that she has dreamed of, and then some
(i mean maybe the clamato will make the budweiser actually palatable…)
