Aruba Edition - Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Balashi Pilsner

Balashi Pilsner
Aruba. Not known for microbrews. Still, had to try this beer. Tastes like Heineken. Only not as good. And Heineken's bad. Fine in sweltering heat, but leaves a horrible taste in your mouth. And not just because I paid five bucks a can for it in a hotel gift shop.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Sly Fox Oktoberfest

With Sly Fox closing its doors at the Royersford location my brother and I had to say goodbye properly. Choosing the seasonal Oktoberfest during a dismal Eagles game was a smart choice. The medium bodied lager with a malty taste was good enough for me to pick up a growler on the way out. We'll miss you Sly Fox Rofo!

Booze ... in 50 Words or Less (this time More): Appalachian Brewing Co.

So I ended up at the new Appalachian Brewing Company restaurant for the second night in a row. I met up with a couple of friends to sample more of their beer. I decided to order a sampler which included 5 ounce glasses of all 7 "flagship" beers and one 5 ounce glass of a specialty beer. When I ordered the sampler the waitress looked at me, laughed and said "Is that just for you?" and I replied with a simple "yes." Then with a smile on her she face says "Okay champ, I will be back to clear the remaining 30% that you couldn't finish." Whoa, now I had to finish all the samples!
