Broadening Our Horizons L

That would be Roman Numeral L, as in 50.  Today's newness is Abita Amber, which my local likker locker added to their normal stock o' Abita products.  Like this:


Our go-to guys where brews are concerned rate Amber as "exceptional," and I have to agree.  The long and the short of it is "MMMmmm... malty!"  I'm glad our local beer emporium added this fine, fine beer.  I've yet to meet an Abita product I didn't like and I intend to keep it that way by avoiding Purple Haze... mainly coz we're pretty much done with fruit beers, unless they're Belgian Lambics.

And now it's out to the verandah to sit in the sun and NOT think about housework.

  1. The Amber IS a good beer, my friend, (burp!) one I've imbibed on more than one occasion. But don't put down the Purple Haze, mon frere. It's one of the VERY Few fruity beers I actually like and/or tolerate, (although not too many all at once--can become cloying) Try it at least once, ok? :)

    1. The problem is I'd have to buy a sixer to try it once... and I don't wanna do that.

  2. Trying to not think about housework is what I do these days. One of the longest post-op restrictions from a hip replacement is housework - as in no dusting, dry mopping or vacuuming for 3 months.

    1. Kris. Girl. Just look at that as a three month "get out o' jail free" card. And hire a maid. ;-)

  3. Looks and sounds mighty tasty. Hey, isn't that Rocky the Squirrel on your glass?

    2. I wasn't fully caffeinated when I wrote that... I meant Bullwinkle. Sheesh.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
