Keeping in tune with my Get It Local mantra these days, i have become enamored with the beans from the good people at Blanchard’s Coffee Company. We are hooked on their Dark As Dark blend They have a stand set up at the Farmer’s Market we go to every Saturday so they save us a trip, too.
They have a couple of coupons there for online orders so if you should check them out if you’re interested.
Stone Brewing Beers are one of those brands that feel like I have seen forever but just never got around to drinking. Big mistake on my part. I had my first one a couple of weeks back when I was out in San Diego when I wanted to have something local. I had to “settle” for the Stones because that was all I could find from out there. I was very, very impressed with these Pale Ales. Mildly hoppy and bitter but not nearly so much as an India Pale Ale, this is a damn fine drinker. Highly recommended.
This is the first of a new feature called ‘What I’m Drinking”. I’m an equal opportunity consumer and I enjoy drinks across the whole spectrum of spirits. It’s beer intensive at Chez Flynn these days, what with the summertime sun and all, but I hope to remember to mention wines and booze we like as well. This might work out.
First up is Hitachino Nest Beer Japanese Classic Ale. This is a recent addition to our local beer shoppe and I’m glad for it. Tasty ale that’s fit for summertime drinking. 7% abv, so it packs a bit of a punch if you’re not paying attention.
I love that owl logo. Less love for the blindingly backlit photo. By the time I got around to uploading the photo all of the beer was gone so there were no do-overs. It will improve.
