Previously from this brewery: Sans Culottes and more Sans Culottes
Important points for you to know:
1. I'm hungry for Mexican food
2. My iPod played Sabotage by the Beastie Boys not once but a respectable twice today
3. Point #2 is important as this is the greatest song ever made by the Beastie Boys
4. I will entertain arguments on point #3, but it better be a damn good argument
5. I'm officially tired of the 'chance of severe thunderstorms' weather pattern that we have every single day
6. If you put a laundry basket down in my house (clean or dirty), turn around, count to two, and then turn around again, it's guaranteed that there will be a dog snuggled up in the laundry basket
7. I spent four hours today in a windowless room - not good for the soul
With those important points now committed to your memory, we move to our beer review. Tonight is a bottle of La Choulette Ambrée from Brasserie La Choulette in France. This Biere de Garde pours with
an amber color and dissipating white head. The main aromas are malt, bread, and apple, and when you drink it down you find a caramel sweetness, yeast, dark fruits, and a touch of lemon. A solid beer, but this isn't your typical Biere de Garde. In fact, it was more Belgian dark ale than anything. If you're looking for something lighter with more peppery spice and possibly more easily accessible, may I recommend something like Garde Dog from Flying Dog Brewery.

| Summer shines in |
Your thing to think about today is whether or not Blurred Lines is officially "the" song of the summer. Every year, there's something that hits the airwaves in June or so and instantly gets played to death by people both young and old in a celebration of warm weather, pool parties, fun memories, and cold drinks. This Robin Thicke song, featuring Pharrell and T.I., has all of the ingredients: Catchy beat, repeatable lyrics (Hey, hey hey!), there's a dance you can do to this song, it sounds 47% better if played with your car windows down and sound turned up, and you're 32% more embarrassed to admit you like it during the winter months. Check it for yourself and tell me if you agree.... hey, hey, HEY!
"What rhymes with 'hug me'?"
p.s. there is a topless version of this same video on vimeo. Why? Because it's THE song of the summer, I believe. And because people like topless models. But you'll have to find that one yourselves.
