Beer Smuggling: 21st Amendment Beer.
With beer being the last regional commodity Julie and I have a habit of smuggling beer. During our trip we stopped at two breweries: 21st Amendment Brewery & the San Francisco Brewery Company. The San Francisco Brewery Company only had gallon growlers so we figured that won’t be easy to transport via air but we did get two six packs from 21st Amendment Brewery:
Brew Free or Die IPA
There’s not much to say, I’m an IPA man and the Brew Free or Die is pretty badass.
Hell or High Watermelon
I am not one to put fruit in my beer (Blue Moon & Corona) but by no means am I against beer that is brewed with fruit (Magic Hat #9). The Hell or High Watermelon is pretty smooth and worth a try.
I’d highly recommend the San Francisco Brewery Company as it was a total old man bar. The bartender (mike?) was completely drunk but he spotted me my first round. If I had room in our suitcase and I didn’t think it would explode I would have bought a growler full of Albatross Lager. It was great.
NYC: Boss Tweed.
This past weekend I was in New York to hang out with the legendary Jim Wallis and for the Steelers – Jets game. As one would expect my flight was delayed and it was well over 10pm before I caught up with Jim in Hoboken to head into the city. After checking out Iggy’s Keltic Lounge and The Johnson’s and finding them both way too packed we moved on to Boss Tweed’s Saloon. We managed to grab a table and besides the indoor pool smell from the rec team next to us it was a good setup. We settled into a series of pitchers of Bass and the next thing I know Jim is in some kind of argument with this girl that had the thickest Jersey accent I’ve ever heard. And of course her shirt read “New York Fucking City”.
Below is photographic documentation of the dispute.
