Beer Post!Two Hearted Ale from Kalamazoo Brewing Company is an IPA with juicy/citrusy flavor, and kind of a kick on the back-end. Excellent summer beer! AND...I found a place that serves it here, in my bad beer town. Happiness!
Their site describes it thusly:
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.
I have to comment, though, that they should really work on their labels. I'm a picky bitch when it comes to packaging, and this really ain't doin' it for me. And really? It's all about me.
Next week I think I'll be picking something from my Chi-town jaunt. I'm leaving tomorrow for the windy city, to bug a friend, crash on her couch and generally try not to be a mooch. I've been promised that I can take her out to dinner at least, to pay her back. Beer will be involved. And then I have to attend a conference to get some learnin' before I come home next week. I mean, my employer IS paying for the trip, so it's only fair that I bring something back with me besides beer, receipts for beer and memories clouded by beer, right?
I'll miss The Husband, and The Dog, and even you guys. But I promise to have fun anyway. :)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt Lila, a severely disabled and paralyzed Kalamazoo, Michigan resident needs our help, and a simple nomination from you could make all the difference!
I’m involved in a campaign to nominate her for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and I could sure use some help!! She is badly in need of a handicap accessible home.
My Aunt Lila had been recovering from a near death illness, when after making the mortgage payments for 20 years, she and her family lost her handicap accessible home and all of their hard earned equity due to foreclosure. Several spinal strokes have left her very fragile and she no longer has the physical capacity to replace her home.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is currently asking for stories about people who, in addition to dealing with significant challenges, have also been involved in volunteer/charitable work, a profile that describes Lila perfectly!
We are very excited because six-time Grammy award winner, Jose Feliciano has made a video nomination and we have a nomination from our city Mayor, Peter Strazdas. The odds of being chosen will be greatly increased with the support of our community as well.
We have a website where Jose's video nomination can be viewed and there is a form for submitting additional nominations: http://www.homeforlila.com. Please take a few moments to visit the website to learn about Lila and why your help is so important.
Making the nomination is simple – just fill out and submit the online form!
Please help by forwarding/sharing this with your congregation, friends, other individuals, church groups, schools, etc. as we are trying for 1000+ total nominations. Your help could make all the difference!
Please let us know if you have any ideas that you think would help!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help!
Sincerely,
Angie Hensley
