Brrrbon, Banana, Barleywine

Gotta love nachos. When I was in middle school I used to melt american cheese over tortilla chips in the microwave every day after school (nutritious, I know). Now I rarely get to indulge, so I was pretty excited to make a dent in this platter at happy hour yesterday. We went to Sunset Cantina, which is famous for bar food and a decent beer list.

You know I love places with ten ounce pours because it means more flavors, less headache. I tried a Sweaty Betty Blonde by Boulder Beer and a Widmer brrrbon barrel aged beer. The blonde was average (def. inferior to Allagash white) but I’m in love with the bourbon barrel (what’s new?). It was really strong and basically tasted like carbonated water-downed (in a good way) bourbon.

All together with the fixin’s:

I’ve seen this beer before and always wanted to try it for obvious reasons!!

Despite my 10 ounce pours, I still had a headache this morning, but it was totally worth it:)

I was only able to sleep in until 8, but that’s a lot better than 6:30. I spent 40 minutes on the expresso bike and then headed out for what I hope was the final round of Christmas shopping. Around two, Matt and I took a break for O’Sushi. Honestly, I’m not really a sushi person, but I get in the mood every once in a while and we had a restaurant.com gift certificate.
