Yum Beer!


Friday I went to my new favorite liquor store: Monument Liquor. This is the place a coworker told me about. Even though it says it's a liquor store, I go here for the wonderful beer selection. Not only do they have countless beers, you can also buy any beer individually, even if it's in a 6 pack. Maybe I'm being non-committal, but I prefer to try a beer before I spend $10+ on a 6 pack.... which I guess is weird because I'll buy a $6.50 22oz. that I've never heard of before.

I purchased:

Abita's Andygator (Doppelbock)- 22 oz $4.99-
Midnight Sun's Sockeye Red IPA - $6.50
Bison's Honey Basil $2.99
Dogfish Head Palo Santo Maron- $3.99
Flying Dog- Raging Bitch (Belgian-style IPA)- $1.70

Then I went to Costco and bought a 24 pack of Laganitas IPA... maybe I'm weird, but

Friday night I consumed Andygator for the 2nd time. I was actually... unimpressed. I really liked it the first time, but this time it seems fla
t and boring. I'll probably give it one more shot.

Saturday.... is another story...

Sunday I consumed a portion of Sockeye and the honey basil IPA with spicy Indian food. Sockeye was a great match, but a felt like I drank it too fast. Borderline perfumery, but still good. The cashier told me that the Imperial IPA was even better, but at $9.99, I decided to try Sockeye first.
Honey Basil was well... sort of sweet and definitely tasted like Basil. I LOVE Basil, but I'm going to leave basil to Italian food. Luckily it wasn't a 22 oz, otherwise I would have never made it through.
