My beer adventure...

[fluffPE]

Visiting Santa Monica and found a nice place...SmithHouse.

120 beers on tap (no, I did not have them all)

I did have several Ales.

Smithwicks Irish Red Ale...A little bland I thought, but smooth and delicious, cause I like beer.
Flying Dog, Doggie Style Pale Ale..Wonderful flavor, but not as hoppy as I wanted.
Fullers London Pride...Also smooth, good flavor. Great after dinner drink.
Morland, Old Speckled Hen. This one I really liked! Nice hops, still smooth, not too bitter, a little fruity. Nice dessert.

Sounds fun!

I had a beer adventure, also. ^_^

Tonight I tried Ghost Face Killah, a beer with ghost pepper and several other peppers. My bar tender said it was spicy and everyone around agreed. Having never had a beer that was spicy I gave it a try. It had some spice and had a fruity after taste like a raw jalapeño. I enjoyed it.

Must have been way watered down because ghost peppers are...pungent. I made pepper jelly with them...you have to wear gloves and an eye mask is in order....strong shit.

That sounds interesting...I would have had to had a sample first. The normal Ales, I just go for, hard to go wrong. I am glad you enjoyed it.

It had several other peppers in it as well. I assume anything manufactured for the general public is going to be "watered down" simply because you don't want to melt your customer's face off. It was spicier than I expected, though. When people tell me something is spicy, I tend to be skeptical. I'll admit it had a kick, but it was just very tasty.

How was your pepper jelly? Sounds interesting.

I need to visit.

Just tell me when and I'll put the ribs on. They'll take 5 hours or so, but the beer cellar has a variety.

I love places like this. When I go into a bar or micro brewery and they have 50-100 beers, I feel like I am home.

Lager - you drink this in between fights.
Brown Ale - you feel no one respects you since the war.

Oh! And hello other engineer!

The Salty Dawg Saloon.

I spent many a night, and many a halibut dollar there when i commercial fished in the early 80's.
Doesn't look like it's changed much. Still gotta duck to get in the door.
Thanks for the pic

It was moved there after the earthquake.

Beer is for pussies.

...

Thanks for asking. It was very good. Smoother texturally and better tasting than the jalapeño jelly from the grocery.

I can't wait for Autumn to come around. I miss the pumpkin ales.

Exactly.

 

[AllyRose]

I don't drink beer exclusively.

I enjoy whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rum, vodka, wine, etc.

It all sounds delicious to me!
