Trick or Treat
I prefer treat.

We had about 25 or so trick-or-treaters this evening. No tricks. . . yet. Good times.
Happy Halloween!

NC Ain't So Bad.
For the last few weeks, I've been indulging myself in as many things Carolina as possible, eating some fantastic shrimp, chorizo, and cheese grits, eating at
Bojangle's and
Cook Out, drinking
Cheerwine and Sweet Tea. It's also been hotter than the surface of the sun here recently, thanks to some record highs, which really made me want to drink some Boulevard Wheat.
Unfortunately, I hadn't been able to find anything to replace my favorite locally-distributed beers. Finally, I was able to find a good source of high-quality beers and had my first taste of the renowned
Dogfish Head IPA. It was glorious.

I'm learning that as much as I loved all things Kansas City, especially the beer and barbecue, North Carolina at least compensates a little bit with its access to East Coast craft beers like this. I still wouldn't mind some Boulevard, O'Dell's, or New Belgium beers or some OK Joe's, of course. . .

The Cure to What Ales You
I picked up a 6-pack of this stuff the other day, brewed out of Oregon.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale is some pretty tasty beer and definitely worth a try if you see some in your local store.

The Bachelor
No, not
that bachelor, but while the cat is away (in NC), the mouse will play (with beer, pizza, video games, and. . . writing a paper/studying for finals). Anyway, after
I drank the 6th glass (which was really good, fyi) from Boulevard a week or two ago, I wanted to try the other beers from the
SmokeStack series.
On tap tonight: Saison and Long Strange Trippel

6th glass

Boulevard's new beer,
6th Glass; I'm looking forward to it this evening.

Happy Memorial Day
In memory of a fallen 6-pack that recently met its demise, I have posted a (tasty) picture of one of Boulevard's soldiers, shortly before consumption. . .

But seriously, have a happy Memorial Day with your respective families and give thanks to the veterans who made the celebratory day possible.
(Grill pictures to come)
