It's a lazy Sunday. I am so excited to finally have had a lazy Sunday!! Seems like it's been weeks since we had a day with nothing we had to do. So, we had a little breakfast at SVEA -- I had a Swedish Tease, which is two eggs, bacon, and a Swedish pancake. I have to have toast with my over-easy eggs and bacon, so I get toast, too. They don't have a liquor license so no breakfast stout with this meal. ANYWAY . . . then Andersonville had a sidewalk sale!! We got a whole bag of books INCLUDING two books I was planning to buy anyway for only $14.00! Among the treasures: Don't Know Much About the Bible and Ellen Burstyn's memoir. Then, we rummaged through the $1.00 bin of organic bamboo clothing at Skinstinct and got a few things.
And now it's Sunday night . . . and I am having two beers. Both of these I obtained through the magic of the beer-sales trade, as in I traded samples with a couple of salespeople from other companies. It's the most cost-effective way to try stuff! First beer: HARPOON SUMMER BEER. Harpoon has been around since the late 80's, out of Boston and Vermont. And I say of all their beers I have tried: Not bad. I'll drink 'em. They have an year-round IPA and some seasonal offerings. I've had their holiday beer, and I'll drink their IPA if I'm somewhere where they don't sell beer that I sell. And I think they are all -- oooh, I hate to use this word -- very drinkable!! They are not super-complex, the summer beer tastes like light wheat and lemon zest, I sucked it down pretty quickly -- it was good! As I remember, the holiday beer tastes like cinnamon sugar, but I'll taste it again this year and let you know. Second Beer: LUCKY KAT by Magic Hat Brewery. Okay. I like this too. Yes, I have regrettably disparaged the Magic Hat beers on my blog before, but the Cheshire Cat is on the label and the liquid is not half bad. So if you are at a gathering and there is a brightly colored 12-pack of Magic Hat beer -- this is the one I'd reach for.
