Dogfish Head has the touch!
I need to get a new digital camera.
1) The one we have now is a bulky relic. Some people even think its a digital SLR. HA HA! It's just too heavy and inconvenient to carry around at all times.
2) The quality ain't up to par anymore.
I will correct this soon but in the meantime I have to live with it. I've missed many photo ops recently (Burgers & Cupcakes, Manganaro's, Lenny's just today).
Billy Wagner just closed out the Phillies in game 2 of this series, putting the Mets back up by 5 in the NL East. Alay Soler pitched pretty well after a shaky start. Good news overall. How clutch is David Wright?
Many of my fellow Met-fan friends have admitted to having a man-crush on him.
I came home tonight and felt like having a new beer!
So here goes...
160) Dogfish Head Midas Touch Golden Elixir - The team at Dogfish Head have done it again. It seems they can really do no wrong. Supposedly this recipe is inspired by the oldest known recipe for any fermented beverage. It contains barley, white muscat grapes, honey, and saffron. DH describes it as being "somewhere between a beer, wine and mead" and you can definitely get that sense right from the aroma. The grape notes dominate the nose while the main flavor you are getting from this is honey. Alc. is 9%. An excellent experience of a beer. Note: this beer is produced year round but in limited batches. If you see it at your local beer store, don't hesitate to pick up a four pack!
Dogfish Head Midas Touch - as sweet as honey...
So that makes it 160 beers for the year. 205 to go. Tomorrow is a possible bar night, but I'm not sure yet. If not there are 9 new bottles waiting for me in the fridge.
